چکیده
16S rRNA molecules in a microbial strain can differ due to nucleotide variation between their genes. This is a typical trait of fast-growing bacteria to cope with different niches. We investigated characteristics of 16S rRNA genes in Vibrio splendidus strain PB1-10, from the normal flora of Atlantic halibut. Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene clones detected 35 variable positions in a total of 13 different gene copies. More than two-thirds of the substitutions occurred in regions corresponding to helix H6 and helix H17 of the 16S rRNA molecule. Possible recombination between these helixes in related bacteria (Vibrio, Photobacterium, Colwellia) from similar environments impacts 16S rRNA-based phylogeny of V. splendidus. We argue that these nonrandom modifications are maintained to provide a finetuning of the ribosome function to optimize translation machinery performance and ultimately bacterial niche fitness.

Absence of additional cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients during maintenance electroconvulsive therapy.
This study examines the cognitive impairment profile of schizophrenia patients during maintenance electroconvulsive therapy (M-ECT). Ten schizophrenia patients treated with M-ECT and ten control patients matched for diagnosis, sex, and age who had never been treated with ECT were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. M-ECT patients did not show a higher level of memory, atte...
متن کاملIntegrating Cases and Models Through Approximate-Model-Based Adaptation
This paper describes an approach to the integration of case and models called model-based adaptation (MBA). Under this approach, case-based reasoning is used to find an approximate solution, and model-based reasoning is then used to adapt this approximate solution into a more precise solution. This paper distinguishes two distinct forms of MBA--per]ect-model-based adaptation and approximate-mod...

Background and Objective: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the end choice treatment for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Regarding researches that show NMDA receptor inactivation could yield the same results as anti-depressant drugs, however, the present study examined co-administration of ECT and ketamine (as NMDA antagonist) on depressed rat behaviors. Materials and Methods...

Background and purpose: In spite of discovering new antipsychotics in the past years, many patients of schizophrenia don’t response to none of them and are resistance to treatment. In this case, clozapine, ECT or some combination of drug mostly be used, but there are many patients of schizophrenia who are resistance to them. In recent years, of combination of ECT and clozapine has been sugges...

This paper treats the design of online adaptive neural networks for use in a nonlinear helicopter ight control architecture. Emphasis is given to network architecture and the e ect that varying the adaptation gain has on performance. Conclusions are based on a nonlinear evaluation model of an attack helicopter, and a metric that measures the networks ability to cancel the e ect of modeling erro...
