In the mid-1980s, tape storage appeared to be heading toward the graveyard. Storing information on large reels of tape that had to be manually mounted was expensive, inefficient, and prone to human error. In addition, competition from hard disk drives (HDDs) was growing. Data access on HDD was faster because the data was stored in a manner for rapid random access, not linearly as on tape, and H...

Tailed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) bacteriophages frequently harbor structural proteins displaying peptidoglycan hydrolytic activities. The tape measure protein from Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage vB_SauS-phiIPLA35 has a lysozyme-like and a peptidase_M23 domain. This report shows that the lysozyme-like domain (TG1) has muramidase activity and exhibits in vitro lytic activity against live S...

Many archaeologists still rely predominately on string, line level, tape measure, pen and paper to draw floor plans and profile walls. This is a time consuming and labor intensive process that can suffer greatly from human error. This paper describes a software system for generating archaeological floor plans and profile walls that minimizes the error inherent in traditional methods and reduces...

The tail tape measure protein (TMP) of tailed bacteriophages (also called phages) dictates the tail length and facilitates DNA transit to the cell cytoplasm during infection. Here, a thorough mutational analysis of the TMP from lactococcal phage TP901-1 (TMPTP901-1) was undertaken. We generated 56 mutants aimed at defining TMPTP901-1 domains that are essential for tail assembly and successful i...

[Purpose] In the Kinesio Taping® (KT) method, no objective method has been established to measure length of tape be cut based on elongation percentage. Therefore, a using simple regression model was devised and verified. [Participants Methods] Two types KT were in range 10 50 cm. The six single models used calculate with release paper attached created data required [Results] All 100% predictive...

There are limited data on grading of parotid gland mass, and currently no bedside clinical grading system is available. Parotid enlargement is common in patients with HIV/AIDS, and the size of the gland can change depending on the progression of disease, with or without treatment. This needs to be recorded accurately and communicated properly. A novel system for bedside clinical grading of paro...
