Morphologic transition from the yeast to the hyphal state in Candida albicans is associated with pathogenicity of this human pathogen. Such invasive transition of C. albicans cells is regulated by numerous cell signal transduction pathways, one of which involves a small GTPase, the C. albicans Cdc42 (CaCdcd42), with specific binding to downstream effectors, e.g., CaCla4 and Cst20, containing CR...

A computer system which aids computer engineers in fault diagnosis is described. The system, called CRIB (Computer Retrieval Incidence Bank) is shown to fit into the class of pattern-directed inference systems. Emphasis is placed on the "before" and "after" phases of system generation and it is shown why, to be called an expert system, these phases are important. The forms of knowledge used in ...
