Neisseria gonorrhoeae deploys a novel immune evasion strategy wherein the lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) structure of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is capped by the bacterial sialyltransferase, using host cytidine-5'-monophosphate (CMP)-activated forms of the nine-carbon nonulosonate (NulO) sugar N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), a sialic acid (Sia) abundant in humans. This allows evasion of complemen...

Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) is an enabling technique to achieve uniformity of dielectric and conductor height in BEOL manufacturing processes. Dummy fill insertion improves the uniformity of metal feature density and enhances the planarization that can be obtained by CMP, but can also change the coupling and total capacitance of interconnects [1], [2]. Additionally, dishing and eros...

human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection has been associated with cardiac disease, including anatomical or functional disturbance to the heart. cardiomyopathy (cmp) is one of these disturbances that have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. in this review article, several aspects of potential relationships between hiv infection and cardiomyopathy development have been...

On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) workload is an important application in commercial service domain. Chip multiprocessor (CMP) is main stream of processor development. Performance characters of OLTP in CMP become a crucial benchmark for design and performance analysis of CMP server system. System level performance characters of OLTP on AMD quad-core system is presented in the paper. Accordi...

We report about an infant affected by dilated cardiomyopathy (CMP) in whom metabolic investigations evidenced medium-chain-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD), that is one of three types of inherited disorders of mitochondrial fatty-acid beta-oxidation. Long-chain and very long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficits are recognized as responsible of hypertrophic or, less fre...

Abstract As the minimum feature size of integrated circuit elements has shrunk below 7 nm, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) technology grown by leaps and bounds over past several decades. There been a growing interest in understanding fundamental science CMP, which continued to lag behind advances technology. This review paper provides comprehensive overview various phenomena such as con...

We investigate the complexity of Boolean clone membership problem (CMP): given a set functions $F$ and function $f$, determine if $f$ is in generated by $F$, i.e., it can be expressed circuit with $F$-gates. Here, elements are as circuits or formulas over usual De Morgan basis. B\"ohler Schnoor (2007) proved that for any fixed coNP-complete, few exceptions where P. Vollmer (2009) incorrectly cl...

OBJECTIVE Anthracyclines are potent antineoplastic agents in the treatment of lymphoid malignancies, but their therapeutic benefit is limited by cardiotoxicity. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends routine surveillance, early diagnosis and treatment of anthracycline-based chemotherapy (AC) induced cardiomyopathy (AC-CMP). We aimed to assess the prevalence of AC-CMP in patients with l...

Gonococci possessing certain opacity-associated (Opa) outer membrane proteins adhere to and are phagocytosed by human neutrophils in the absence of serum. Recently, it has been shown that serum-sensitive strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae possessing the appropriate lipooligosaccharide phenotype become serum resistant when grown in the presence of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NANA) because of ...
