  1. Effect of Growth Media, pH and Temperature on Yeast to Hyphal Transition in Candida albicans.Sayyada Ghufrana Nadeem, Amna Shafiq, Shazia T. Hakim, Yasmeen Anjum & Shahana U. Kazm - 2013 - Open Journal of Medical Microbiology 3:185-192.
    The transition of C. albicans from unicellular yeast form to filamentous form i.e., pseudohyphae and hyphae is referred to as morphogenesis. C. albicans has the ability to respond to environmental conditions and accordingly changing its cell morphology. Three main morphological forms of C. albicans are unicellular yeast, pseudohyphae and hyphae. The effect of different growth media (Horse serum medium, RPMI-1640, MSGB), incubation temperatures (34˚C, 37˚C, 40˚C) and pH values (5.4, 6.4, 7.4) on germ tube production by C. (...)

    Bio-reducing properties of bryophyllum pinnatum aqueous leaves extract for the mediated synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles and its antimicrobial activities.Oluwaseyi Bukky Ovonramwen - 2025 - Mediterranean Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 5 (1):97-105.
    Bryophyllum pinnatum is a medicinal plant from the Crassulaceae family. It's traditionally used in Ayurvedic and folk medicine to cure various ailments, and its phytochemicals are used in the reduction of metal ions to produce nanoparticles. This study is aimed at the biosynthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using Bryophyllum pinnatum as a reducing, capping, and stabilizing agent, characterizing the synthesized nanoparticles, and studying the anti-microbial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as fungi; (...) albicans, and Aspergillus niger. The synthesized nanoparticle was confirmed by UV-VIS, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, and XRD. The UV-VIS indicated the presence of chromophore and a surface plasmon resonance occurring in the sample with a band gap of 4.38 eV. The FT-IR result revealed the stretching vibration of the Ni-O bonds at 715 cm-1. The SEM analysis showed the morphology of the nanoparticles, and the EDX revealed that NiO-NPs are composed of oxygen and nickel elements. The XRD confirmed a face-centered cubic structure with an average size of 16.377 nm. The antimicrobial analysis exhibited the tested minimum concentration against all the bacterial strains. The synthesized Nickel oxide nanoparticles are useful in inhibiting the growth of different types of bacteria. -/- . (shrink)

  3. Pragmatism as Gunship Philosophy: José Vasconcelos’ Critique of John Dewey.Terrance MacMullan - 2015 - Inter-American Journal of Philosophy 6 (1):16-31.
    English Abstract This work expands the crucial and evolving Inter-American philosophical dialogue from its current state, which has focused on establishing commonalities between the Americas, to include conversations that intelligently and candidly address points of contention. This paper strives to constructively introduce into this dialogue a trenchant critique of one of the most influential English language philosophers of the Americas – John Dewey—made by one of the most influential Spanish language philosophers of the Americas – José Vasconcelos. In particular, this (...)
