While Portland, Oregon, gains renown for supporting locally grown, sustainably produced, healthy, or otherwise "good" food, it has failed to ensure equitable access to said food.As parts of the city gentrify, dislocated Portlanders find themselves without access to fresh produce, contributing to health disparities among low-income and minority resi
Broad spectrum microarray for fingerprint-based bacterial species identification
Abstract Background Microarrays are powerful tools for DNA-based molecular diagnostics and identification of pathogens.Most target a limited range of organisms and are based on only one or a very few genes for specific identification.Such microarrays are limited to organisms for which specific probes are available, and often have difficulty discrim
RURAL EXTENSION EPISTEMOLOGY AND THE TIME OF TOTAL EXTENSION
This article is dedicated to explore oas ba?adores the field of knowledge related to rural extension.In general, a three complementary perspective is used as theoretical strategy to present this epistemological study.The first perspective, seeks to accomplish a brief archeology of rural extension, identifying the remarkable historical passages.At t
The Simulation Study of a Restructured Residential Low-Voltage Distribution System Microgrid
A primary and necessary focus in creating a greener environment is the conversion of existing power-generation sources to renewable power sources in the near future.Another important focus is to develop sustainable household power generation to a low-voltage electricity grid with a power purchase and selling facility.To help with achieving the abov
Influence of application methods of one-step self-etching adhesives on microtensile bond strength
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various application methods of one-step self-etch adhesives to microtensile resin-dentin bond strength.Materials and Methods Thirty-six extracted human molars were used.The teeth were assigned randomly to twelve groups (n = 15), according to the three different adhesive systems (Cle
