Fluconazole Resistance among Candida species Causing Vulvovaginitis
Abstract: Yeasts have emerged as a prominent cause of vaginal infections in community and hospitalized patients. Majority of cases of Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) are caused by Candida albicans however, episodes due to non-albicans Candida appear to be increasing in the recent years leading to increase medical concern. Most non-albicans Candida species have higher minimum-inhibitory concentration (MIC) to fluconazole and infections caused by these species are often difficult to treat. This study …

Changing Classrooms Learning In This Constructivistic World
Abstract: The constructivist view of learning clicks in our mind a variety of different teaching practices. It encourages students to use active techniques (i.e. projects, experiments, real-world problem solving etc.) to create new construction of knowledge. It shows and talks about their own process of constructing and understanding. The teacher ensures he/she understands the students' preexisting conceptions, and guides the activity to address them and then build on them. This paper …

Nonlocal Torsional Vibration of Nanorods
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The present work deals with the torsional vibration of nanorods based on nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory is incorporated into classical rod model to capture unique features of the nanorods under the continuum mechanics theory. The strong effect of the nonlocal scale has been obtained which leads to substantially different behaviors of nanorods from those of macroscopic rods. Nonlocal rod …

CRISPR-Cas System: Next Generation Genome Editing Tool
Abstract: CRISPR-Cas system provides sequence specific adaptive immunity against phages and mobile genetic elements. Resistance is acquired following phage infection or plasmid uptake when short specific sequence is added into CRSIPR array. This complex guides cRNA to target complementary DNA fragments and target its degradation. CRISPR array is then transcribed and processed into cRNA which forms complex with cas protein. The ability of CRISPR-Cas system to induce site specific DNA breaks …
