In Bacillus subtilis, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of many genes is mediated at cis-acting carbon repression elements (cre) by the catabolite repressor protein CcpA. Mutations in transcription-repair coupling factor (mfd) partially relieve CCR at cre sites located downstream of transcriptional start sites by abolishing the Mfd-mediated displacement of RNA polymerase stalled at cre sites w...

Semantic Web model representation and integration can be exploited to provide organizations that deal with a large amount of data sources with an integrated view on the overall information managed. In order to support semantic Web model representation and integration in the large users must be provided with light-weight languages to represent and integrate the models, in particular avoiding the...

Objectives: To determine the effect of calorie delivery on hospital mortality among critically ill adults receiving enteral nutrition (EN). Secondary outcomes included the effect of calorie delivery on intensive care unit and hospital length of stay (LOS), duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) and incidence of new-onset pneumonia. Methods: We identifi ed randomised clinical trials of EN, with...

We discuss how the canonical commutation relations must be modified in order to make appropriate numerical models of quantum systems. The C∗-algebras associated with the discretized CCRs are the non-commutative spheres of Bratteli, Elliott, Evans and Kishimoto. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 46L40; Secondary 81E05.

Municipalities as well as any other organization have needed assessment and efficiency measurement to make better use of their limited resources and greater effectiveness. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of municipalities, determining efficient and inefficient municipalities using data envelopment analysis, and classifying the municipalities using Anderson Peterson technique...

The continuum robot is a new type of bionic which widely used in the medical field. However, current structure limits its application field minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, bio-inspired compound (CCR) combining concentric tube (CTR) and notched proposed to design high-dexterity surgical instrument. Then, kinematic model, considering stability CTR part, was established. unstable operat...

PURPOSE The Canadian C-spine (cervical spine) Rule (CCR) and the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Low-Risk Criteria (NLC) are criteria designed to guide C-spine radiography in trauma patients. It is unclear how these 2 rules compare with young children. METHODS This study retrospectively examined case-matched trauma patients 10 years or younger. Two cohorts were identified-cohort ...

We develop a new two level finite difference scheme for the 1D Pennes bioheat equation. We further prove that the scheme is stable and convergent unconditionally. Numerical experiments for a skin-heating model are conducted. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 0096-3003/$ see front matter 2005 Elsevier Inc.
