We classify finite GK-dimensional Nichols algebras ${\mathscr B}(V)$ of rank 4 such that $V$ arises as a Yetter-Drinfeld module over an abelian group but it is not direct sum points and blocks.

BACKGROUND Thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements are complicated by interference from Tg autoantibodies (TgAbs) or heterophilic antibodies (HAMAs). We used a new automated immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) with Tg recovery (TgR) on the Nichols Advantage platform to reassess the clinical utility of recovery testing in detecting interference in serum Tg measurement in patients with differentiated th...

In this paper, an In Vitro Fertilization Genetic Algorithm with real coding, a stochastic optimization method theoretically supported by Mendel's laws of inheritance, Darwin's selection theory and Edward's principles of assisted reproduction are presented. The proposed algorithm is used in gain tuning of the Proportional-Integral-Derivative type controllers applied on the voltage regulation of ...

Abstract There are various methods for optimizing the parameters of PID, such as Genetic Algorithm, Flower Pollination and many more. Those metaheuristics can be used on applications. Nevertheless, computational costs quite expensive. In this paper, we design a PID controller based optimal regulator DC motor. It provides an solution that does not require highly resources. We simulate responses ...

Three genetically distinct groups of treponemes have been identified by saturation reassociation assays using 125I-labeled treponemal DNAs. The three groups are (i) virulent Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain), (ii) T. phagedenis and its biotypes Reiter and Kazan 5, and (iii) T. refringens biotypes Nichols and Noguchi. There is no detectable DNA sequence homology (less than 5%) among the three ...

Treponema pallidum strain DAL-1 is a human uncultivable pathogen causing the sexually transmitted disease syphilis. Strain DAL-1 was isolated from the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman in the secondary stage of syphilis. Here we describe the 1,139,971 bp long genome of T. pallidum strain DAL-1 which was sequenced using two independent sequencing methods (454 pyrosequencing and Illumina). In ra...

A strain of Treponema pallidum isolated from a homosexually acquired penile chancre in Birmingham in 1979 was serially passaged in rabbits and compared with the Nichols strain. The two strains appeared identical morphologically, and no gross differences were detected on antigenic analysis by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis. The Birmingham strain was, however, considerably less virulent fo...
