MODELLING THE EFFECT OF SALT CONCENTRATION ON THE FATE OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES ISOLATED FROM COSTA RICAN FRESH CHEESES

Modelling the Effect of Salt Concentration on the Fate of Listeria monocytogenes Isolated from Costa Rican Fresh Cheeses

“Turrialba cheese” is a Costa Rican fresh cheese highly appreciated due to its sensory characteristics and artisanal production.As a ready-to-eat dairy product, its formulation could support Listeria monocytogenes growth.L.monocytogenes was isolated from 14.06% of the samples and Animal Patch the pathogen was able to grow under all tested condi

Signal denoising through topographic modularity of neural circuits

Information from the sensory periphery is conveyed to the cortex via structured projection pathways that spatially segregate stimulus features, providing a robust and efficient encoding strategy.Beyond sensory encoding, this prominent anatomical feature extends throughout the neocortex.However, the extent to which it influences cortical processing

Piscivorous Vertebrates That May Pose a Risk to the Critically Endangered Mandra Shemaya, Alburnus mandrensis (Drensky, 1943) (Actinopterygii; Leuciscidae)

In the present study, we provide a checklist of the predators that may impact the population of the critically endangered Mandra shemaya (Alburnus mandrensis Drensky, 1943).This endemic fish only Walkie Talkies inhabits the basin of Mandra Lake in the Burgas district (SE Bulgaria) and data on its biology are scarce.We have confirmed the presence of
