Quenched autoligation (QUAL) probes are a class of self-reacting nucleic acid probes that give strong fluorescence signal in the presence of fully complementary RNAs and selectivity against single nucleotide differences in solution. Here, we describe experiments designed to test whether QUAL probes can discriminate between bacterial species by the detection of small differences in their 16S rRN...

Despite the need to better understand how customers of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions perceive the quality of these software services and how these perceptions influence SaaS adoption and use, there is no extant measure that comprehensively captures service quality evaluations in SaaS. Based on previous SERVQUAL and SaaS literature, field interviews and focus groups, a card-sorting exer...

grave a moléstia cerebral à qual são as crises hipoteticamente atribuíveis, tanto mais fácil é o estabelecimento do diagnóstico etiológico e mais grave o prognós-tico. Os distúrbios mentais encontrados de maneira mais constante nos epilépticos foram a viscosidade mental e a perseveração nos pensamentos e emoções. O estudo da freqüência de casamentos entre epilépticos mostrou que, nos três grupo...

Motivation: The biological pathway exchange language (BioPAX) and the systems biology markup language (SBML) belong to the most popular modeling and data exchange languages in systems biology. The focus of SBML is quantitative modeling and dynamic simulation of models, whereas the BioPAX specification concentrates mainly on visualization and qualitative analysis of pathway maps. BioPAX describe...
