    Chelifer longimanus Kollar, 1848: a nomen nudum corresponding to Neobisium spelaeum (Schiödte, 1847) (Pseudoscorpiones: Chelonethi: Neobisiidae)

    No full text
    The manuscript name Chelifer longimanus Kollar, 1848, most often cited as Obisium longimanum Kollar, was first introduced in a note by Kollar (1848) that has been overlooked in the taxonomic literature on pseudoscorpions. No description or indication has been associated with this name, which is therefore a nomen nudum. It corresponds to the valid pseudoscorpion species Neobisium spelaeum (Schiödte, 1847), having been found at one of the type localities of the latter (Postojna Cave, Slovenia). Two specimens originally identified as O. longimanum (probably by V. Kollar) are present in the collections of the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien

    Sampling Delay and Backlash in Balancing Systems

    No full text
    A mechanical model of a digital balancing system is constructed and its stability analysis is presented. This model considers experimental problems like backlash and sampling delay. The conditions of existence of stable stationary and periodic solutions are determined for the case of the system without delay. Phase diagrams and bifurcation diagrams are revealed after simulations and bifurcation analysis. Adding sampling delay to the system, the stability conditions are changed and above a critical value of the delay, the balancing is impossible. The stability conditions and the stability chart are determined again and the critical sampling delay is calculated versus the parameters describing the system

    Hydrogen Sulfide as a Toxic Product in the Small-Large Intestine Axis and its Role in IBD Development

    No full text
    The small-large intestine axis in hydrogen sulfide accumulation and testing of sulfate and lactate in the gut-gut axis of the intestinal environment has not been well described. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) of the Desulfovibrio genus reduce sulfate to hydrogen sulfide and can be involved in ulcerative colitis development. The background of the research was to find correlations between hydrogen sulfide production under the effect of an electron acceptor (sulfate) and donor (lactate) at different concentrations and Desulfovibrio piger Vib-7 growth, as well as their dissimilatory sulfate reduction in the intestinal small-large intestinal environment. METHODS: Microbiological, biochemical, and biophysical methods, and statistical processing of the results (principal component and cross-correlation analyses) were used. RESULTS: D. piger Vib-7 showed increased intensity of bacterial growth and hydrogen sulfide production under the following concentrations of sulfate and lactate: 17.4 mM and 35.6 mM, respectively. The study showed in what kind of intestinal environment D. piger Vib-7 grows at the highest level and produces the highest amount of hydrogen sulfide. CONCLUSIONS: The optimum intestinal environment of D. piger Vib-7 can serve as a good indicator of the occurrence of inflammatory bowel diseases; meaning that these findings can be broadly used in medicine practice dealing with the monitoring and diagnosis of intestinal ailments
