Patch 1.06 was released on 4th January 2010. It can only be obtained through registering a code found on the bottle cap of a Dr. Pepper soft drink here and at SimPrograms.Patch 1.06 was a patch made by the Dr. Pepper company. It contains 14 new mech parts.
Given the importance of spoilage caused by Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris for the fruit juice industry, the objective of this work was to study the germination and inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores induced by moderate hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure treatment can induce the germination and inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores. At low pH, spore germination of up to 3.59-3.75 log and inactivation of 1.85-2.04 log was observed in a low pressure window (200-300 MPa) applied at 50 degrees C for 20 min. Neutral pH suppressed inactivation, the number of spores inactivated at pH 7.0 was only 0.24-1.06 log. The pressurization temperature significantly affected spore germination and inactivation. The degree of germination in apple juice after pressurization for 30 min with 200 MPa at 20 degrees C was 2.04 log, with only 0.61 log of spores being inactivated, while at 70 degrees C spore germination was 5.94 log and inactivation 4.72 log. This temperature strongly stimulated germination and inactivation under higher (500 MPa) than lower (200 MPa) pressure. When the oscillatory mode was used, the degree of germination and inactivation was slightly higher than at continuous mode. The degree of germination and inactivation was inversely proportional to the soluble solids content and was lowest in concentrated apple juice.
'Patch 1.0.6 Dr. Pepper bot parts' adds 14 mech parts to the game. It started as an unofficial, US-only expansion, but seems to have been made official by EA later. It can now be freely downloaded from various places online and isn't US restricted. There are two parts to getting it: getting the creatures parts, and getting the profile badge (which allows you to share your creations on sporepedia).
Yes and No. To share your bots parts creatures on sporepedia, you need the bots badge on your spore.com account. The badge is what gives you permission to share bots parts creatures on the Sporepedia. To get the badge you need to get the promotion code applied to your account. EA used to be able to do apply the promotion for free, but they recently updated their support software and locked themselves out of doing (see 'Can the patch still be granted/enabled by EA?').
the spore bot parts are (kind of) available now. i made a guide on how to get them on this forum. However I deleted it as it was kind of bad. I may make a more comprehensive guide in the future but for now I'll just use this thread and attempt to be as helpful as possible.
Edit: you can also get the stuff from here while the forum is still active and if someone read's this beyond that point an the link is dead the download is here -peppereas-spore-1-06-patch-and-14-mech-parts-download/
Our study, using SABA sales as a very specific marker for asthma attacks within the 6 to 39 year-old population (mean of 20 SABA sales per day across several years), reveals an association between Alternaria spore concentration and daily SABA sales across the general population. Epidemiological studies examining the relationship between outdoor Alternaria and asthma in people not known to be sensitized to Alternaria, are scarce. A Californian study [4] demonstrated an association between asthma symptom scores and Alternaria levels, while an Australian study found Alternaria exposure to be significantly associated with asthma hospitalization [5]. In Saint-John, Canada (asthma ED visits of 3.5 per day), the concentration of Alternaria spores was associated with a 4.5% increase in ED visits [6]. Our study, by showing that outdoor Alternaria moulds are associated with a 6% increase in SABA sales, confirms the latter result on a larger sample of the general population.
Clostridium difficile is a Gram positive, spore forming, anaerobic bacterium and the leading cause of colitis and antibiotic associated diarrhoea in the developed world1. Spores produced by C. difficile are extremely robust and can remain viable for months, even in very harsh conditions such as high temperatures2 and biocidal challenge3. Their environmental stability and resistance allow them to persist until conditions become favourable for germination, for example, in the human gut. C. difficile spores have been found to remain on curtains, textiles, protective clothing and surfaces within hospital wards4. Transmission from fomites within healthcare settings has led to C. difficile overtaking methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as the leading cause of hospital acquired infection globally5.
Symptoms of C. difficile infection (CDI) can range from mild to severe diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, colonic perforation and death6,7. Certain factors increase the risk of CDI such as use of broad-spectrum antibiotics8, old age and hospitalization9. When an individual is diagnosed with a toxigenic C. difficile infection they are isolated, when possible, from other patients and facilities in an attempt to curb transmission via spores to other individuals in the hospital, particularly those on antibiotics10.
For decontamination of clinical areas, various methods are applied, including chemical disinfection, sporicidal fumigants and antimicrobial surfaces16. Many studies have shown that commonly used methods for hospital cleaning are not effective for the decontamination of C. difficile spores17, including alcohol based hand sanitation18. Chlorine based cleaning reagents, with a minimum of 1000ppm available chlorine, are capable of decontaminating fomites harbouring C. difficile spores19. However, UK COSHH regulations restrict occupational exposure to chlorine to 0.5ppm20. Difficil-S (Clinimax Ltd, UK) is a chlorine dioxide based sporicidal product which has found application in a number of healthcare settings, C. difficile eradication efficiency is nevertheless similar to that of standard National Health Service approved cleaning procedures21.
Sporicidal fumigation using gaseous hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide may also be an effective strategy for C. difficile control22. Gaseous decontamination however requires rooms to be sealed for effective treatment, and the pre-cleansing of all surfaces. The effectiveness and commercial viability of such gas based decontamination strategies have yet to be fully established22. Furthermore when using gaseous chlorine dioxide, additional precautions must be taken, since it is explosive at high concentrations. Copper surfaces have also been found to reduce the viability of, but not fully eradicate, C. difficile spores23. Due to expense and efficacy, copper based systems can only be considered as part of a wider decontamination scheme24. There is therefore a clear need for robust alterative decontamination strategies for application within a clinical setting.
This research employed an in-house designed kHz-driven dielectric barrier discharge plasma jet (Fig. 1) that has previously been shown to successfully exert rapid and significant antimicrobial activity against microorganisms in both planktonic and biofilm phenotypes27,28. In this study the sporicidal activity of the in-house system was evaluated, for the first time. Non-thermal plasma exposure against C. difficile spores was assessed and factors affecting sporicidal efficacy, including percentage of oxygen in the helium carrier gas admixture, and the effect of plasma treatment on spores from varying C. difficile strains (representing the five evolutionary C. difficile clades) was investigated. Inactivation of ribotype 078, the most prevalent clinical isolate in Northern Ireland, was further assessed with respect to surface decontamination, pH, and hydrogen peroxide concentration.
(A) Comparison of clade-specific tolerance to atmospheric pressure plasma treatment; R20291(), CF5 (), CD305 (), TL178 () and M120 (). Spores were dried onto wells of a 96 well plate and treated with a helium/oxygen (0.5%) plasma plume. Each bar represent the average of five replicates, error bars represent the standard error; (B) Effect of He/O2 plasma on purified and non-purified spores from most and least resistant strains, R20291 and M120. The plasma jet was used to treat purified spores dried onto microtitre plate wells from R20291 () and M120 () and non- purified spores dried onto microtitre plate wells from R20291 () and M120 (). Each bar represents the average of three replicates, error bars represent the standard error.
The plasma jet was used to treat spores dried onto microtitre plate wells (), spores dried in the presence of 0.03% BSA (), and spores suspended in sterile distilled H2O (). Gas-only controls, both on dry spores (small dash) and in suspension (large dash), are also displayed. Each point shows the average of five replicates along with the associated standard error.
Previous studies have demonstrated the sporicidal effect of plasma produced in air with surface discharge30 and a compressed air jet31 to decontaminate C. difficile spores. The ability of a helium/oxygen atmospheric pressure plasma jet to deactivate C. difficile spores has also been demonstrated32, whilst a separate study found helium/oxygen plasma ineffective against C. difficile spores33. This study reinforces the fact that helium/oxygen plasma can be used for decontamination of C. difficile spores and describes for the first time how factors such as oxygen addition to the plasma, strain variation across the five genetic clades of C. difficile and environmental conditions can affect spore survival.
