On the Possible Physical Origin of Metabolism as a Necessary Interaction with the Environment of Biological Structures by Energy Uptake

Keywords: Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Budapest, Hungary

It is shown in this brief paper that our 'Basic Hypothesis' of the origin of life, relying on Pattee's and Primas' works, and expounded in details elsewhere ([1-6]) whose central concept is a possible spontaneous symmetry breaking/restoring of time inversion, due to a spontaneous endophysical '(self...

Generalized Topologies Related To Notions Of N-Closed Sets And N-Continuous Functions

Keywords: Department of Mathematics, University of Kerala, India

The notion of N-continuous functions between generalized topological spaces has been defined. This paper relates this concept to the coN-closed generalized topology of a generalized topological space and studies the properties of coN-closed generalized topologies. Additionally, we consider the class...

An easy-to-use, rapid and inexpensive method to determine methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Keywords: Ankara University, Faculty of Medicine, Turkey

The turbidimetric method we developed is based on different growth rates of S. aureus in two media, with or without oxacillin. After 2 hours of incubation, the difference of turbidity produced by bacteria in the media with or without oxacillin is less in case of MRSA, and more in case of MSSA. The a...
