23298 Loewenstein
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in ...

Löwenstein–Jensen Medium
Löwenstein–Jensen medium, more commonly known as LJ medium, is a growth medium specially used for culture of ''Mycobacterium'' species, notably ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''. When grown on LJ medium, ''M. tuberculosis'' appears as brown, granular colonies (sometimes called "buff, rough and tough"). The medium must be incubated for a significant length of time, usually four weeks, due to the slow doubling time of ''M. tuberculosis'' (15–20 hours) compared with other bacteria. The medium is named after the Austrian pathologist Ernst Löwenstein (1878–1950) and the Danish medical doctor Kai Adolf Jensen (16.7.1894-2.5.1971). Composition The usual composition as applicable to ''M. tuberculosis'' is: * Malachite green * Glycerol * Asparagine * Potato starch * Coagulated eggs * Mineral salt solution ** Potassium dihydrogen phosphate ** Magnesium sulfate ** Sodium citrate The original formulation included starch, which was later found to be unnecessary, so omitted. ...
