BACKGROUND Following a recent change in the indexing policy for French quality controlled health gateway CISMeF, multiple terminologies are now being used for indexing in addition to MeSH®. OBJECTIVE To evaluate precision and recall of super-concepts for information retrieval in a multi-terminology paradigm compared to MeSH-only. METHODS We evaluate the relevance of resources retrieved by m...

BACKGROUND Cattle shedding at least 104 CFU Escherichia coli O157:H7/g feces are described as super-shedders and have been shown to increase transmission of E. coli O157:H7 to other cattle in feedlots. This study investigated relationships among fecal isolates from super-shedders (n = 162), perineal hide swab isolates (PS) from super-shedders (n = 137) and fecal isolates from low-shedder (< 104...

We calculate the Supernova Relic Neutrino (SRN) background flux for the KamLAND and Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detectors, motivated by the reduction in background at Super-K and new results for the star formation history (e.g., from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)). Our best estimate for the flux at Super-K is slightly below, but very close to the current Super-K upper limit. The Super-K up...

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR’s) of a super Lie group. We give an extension of the classical inducing construction and Mackey imprimitivity theorem to this setting. We use our results to classify the irreducible unitary ...

Various aspects of super-space topology and N=l supersymmetry in 2+1 dimensions are explored. Non-Minimal super Yang-Mills theory is used to construct a gauge theory of the N=l super-Poincare’ algebra. A topological super Yang-Mills theory is given and used to compute elements of the cohomology classes of super-monopole moduli space. Submitted to Nuclear Physics B t This work is supported by th...

To investigate Fe deficiency tolerance in tomato cultivars, quantification of proteins and genes involved in Fe metabolism and antioxidant mechanisms were performed in "Roggusanmaru" and "Super Doterang". Fe deficiency (Moderate, low and -Fe) significantly decreased the biomass, total, and apoplastic Fe concentration of "Roggusanmaru", while a slight variation was observed in "Super Doterang" c...

background: meningioma is among the most common slow growing central nervous neoplasms, which recurs locally despite the benign histologic features. the aim of this study was to evaluate osteopontin and ki67 expressions in different histologic grades of meningioma in a group of iranian people. methods: in this cross-sectional study, first, the paraffin blocks with the definite pathological diag...

the aim of this study was to prepare a new formula of leishmania major (l. major) crude antigen and evaluate its effect on immune system. for this purpose l. major promastigotes were cultured, harvested, washed, and resuspended in physiologic saline and the suspensions were dispersed in five equal batches. 0.1 ml of various doses of the cocktail antigen were injected intradermaly in three group...
