While remaining extracellular, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) establish direct links with the cytoskeleton of the target epithelial cell leading to the formation of actin-rich pedestals underneath attached bacteria. The translocated adaptor protein Tir forms the transmembrane bridge between the cytoskeleton and the bacterium; the extracellular domain of Tir functions as a receptor for...

Background and Purpose: Our aim in this study was to assess physical function as a predictor of stroke incidence in a probability sample of noninstitutionalized elderly subjects with no previous history of stroke. Summary of Report: The data were obtained from a prospective longitudinal study of 2,812 individuals aged 65 years of age and older living in New Haven, Connecticut. Incidence of stro...

Cloning and sequencing of the telomere of Streptomyces griseus revealed five palindromic sequences in the terminal 116 nucleotides, all of which can make a hairpin loop structure. However, the end sequence cannot form the foldback secondary structure that is common in Streptomyces telomeres and is suggested to be necessary for terminal replication. Both inside ends of the terminal inverted repe...

The Andd7 team from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology(DA-IICT) participated in both the subtasks namely Temporal Query Intent Classification(TQIC) and Temporal Information Retrieval(TIR) of the pilot task of NTCIR-11 Temporal Information Access(Temporalia) Task [4]. This report describes different classification methods and feature sets used for classifying ...

The WARPS (Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey) team reviews the properties and history of discovery of ClJ0152.7–1357, an X-ray luminous, rich cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z = 0.833. At LX = 8× 10 44 h 50 erg s −1 (0.5− 2.0 keV) ClJ0152.7–1357 is the most X-ray luminous cluster known at redshifts z > 0.55. The high X-ray luminosity of the system suggests that massive clusters may begin to ...

time reversal (tir) technique is an effective and simple method for data transmission in extremely multipath indoor uwb channels that mitigates the complexity of receiver by its own time focusing feature. although, tir method has the suitable performance, but it is sensitive to the non-ideal channel estimation error. in this paper at first, the bit error probability of tir-uwb communication sys...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been established to play an essential role in the activation of innate immunity by recognizing specific patterns of microbial components. TLR signaling pathways arise from intracytoplasmic TIR domains, which are conserved among all TLRs. Recent accumulating evidence has demonstrated that TIR domain-containing adaptors, such as MyD88, TIRAP, and TRIF, modulate TLR...
