The process of biotope occupation by the anenome Metridium sen~le in the absence of pelagic larvae has been investigated by an in situ monitoring experiment lasting from July 1981 to April 1982. This process is composed of several behavioral phases: dispersion of the anemones on the new substrate by h ~ g h locomotory activity, colonization of the 'chosen' habltat by intensive asexual reproduct...

Wild-type Pyrococcus furiosus is most likely unable to grow on chitin in the natural biotope due to a nucleotide insertion which separates the chitinase gene into two ORFs, whereas a genetically engineered strain with the deleted nucleotide is able to grow on chitin. In the latest studies, the recombinant enzyme activity against the crystal chitins was examined. But there are still some conflic...

In a biogeographical context, the term Macaronesia broadly embraces the North Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. The peculiar arid climatic conditions in some of these places have led to the development of marine salt exploitations, which can be counted among the hypersaline habitats of the brine shrimp Artemia (Branchiopoda, Anostraca)....

We introduce an end-to-end system capable of named-entity detection, normalization and relation extraction for extracting information about bacteria and their habitats from biomedical literature. Our system is based on deep learning, CRF classifiers and vector space models. We train and evaluate the system on the BioNLP 2016 Shared Task Bacteria Biotope data. The official evaluation shows that ...

The morphology and infraciliature of a hypotrichous ciliate collected from brackish-water biotope (salinity 5 ‰) in South Korea were investigated which indicate this organism should be a new form within the genus Anteholosticha Berger, 2003. Careful morphological comparison and SSU rRNA gene sequence alignment with similar species are performed to support the validity of Anteholosticha pseudomo...

Correspondence analysis of 28 proteomes selected to span the entire realm of prokaryotes revealed universal biases in the proteins' amino acid distribution. Integral Inner Membrane Proteins always form an individual cluster, which can then be used to predict protein localisation in unknown proteomes, independently of the organism's biotope or kingdom. Orphan proteins are consistently rich in ar...

This paper describes the information extraction techniques developed in the framework of the participation of IRISATexMex to the following BioNLP-ST13 tasks: Bacterial Biotope subtasks 1 and 2, and Graph Regulation Network. The approaches developed are general-purpose ones and do not rely on specialized preprocessing, nor specialized external data, and they are expected to work independently of...

The L A T E X world is composed of thousands of software components, most notably classes and styles. Classes and styles are born, evolve or die, interact with each other, compete or cooperate, very much as living organisms do at the cellular level. This paper attempts to draw an extended analogy between the L A T E X biotope and cellular biology. By considering L A T E X documents as living or...
