Clostridium difficile is a nosocomial pathogen involved in antibiotic-associated diarrhea. C. difficile expresses a cysteine protease, Cwp84, which has been shown to degrade some proteins of the extracellular matrix and play a role in the maturation of the precursor of the S-layer proteins. We sought to analyze the localization and the maturation process of this protease. Two identifiable forms...

Abstract The production of activated carbon from eucalyptus wood chips by steam activation in a 2000 kg batch intermittent rotary kiln with continuous carbonization–steam process conducted at 500 °C to 700 was studied. products were characterized FTIR, SEM–EDS, Raman spectroscopy, and BET analysis. Percent yields, iodine number, methylene blue number the produced materials measured as well. It ...

This work is focused on deep learning methods, such as feedforward neural network (FNN) and convolutional (CNN), for pathological voice detection using mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), linear prediction cepstrum (LPCCs), higher-order statistics (HOSs) parameters. In total, 518 data samples were obtained from the publicly available Saarbruecken database (SVD), comprising recordings o...
