Plant vacuoles have multiple functions: they can act both as digestive organelles and as receptacles for storage proteins. Different types of vacuoles can coexist in the same cell, which adds complexity to the process of targeting to these compartments. A fuller understanding of this process is of evident value when endeavouring to exploit the plant secretory pathway for heterologous protein pr...

AIM Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience communication difficulties. We aimed to identify a classification system for communication of children with CP suitable for epidemiological surveillance. METHOD Systems to classify the communication of children with CP were identified. The Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), Functional Communication Classification System ...

In Colorado, USA, diagnoses coded as toxic shock syndrome (TSS) constituted 27.3% of infectious shock cases during 1993-2006. The incidence of staphylococcal TSS did not change significantly overall or in female patients 10-49 years of age but increased for streptococcal TSS. TSS may be underrecognized among all ages and both sexes.

A new type of secret sharing scheme [2] called VSS scheme, was first introduced by Naor and Shamir in 1994. The key features of the VSS scheme are that encodes a secret image is encoded into shadow images (called shares) and the decoder does not need knowledge of cryptography or cryptographic computations, but only the “eyes” of a human being. To decrypt the secret image, the reader should copy...

Because of emergence of Semantic Web, It make possible for machines to understand the meaning of resources on the Web. The widespread availability of machine understandable information will impact on Information retrieval on the web. In this paper, we propose a hybrid web searches architecture, TSS, which combines the traditional search with semantic search to improve precision and recall. The ...

Background Ophthalmic outcomes following venous sinus stenting (VSS) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are not well characterized. Materials and Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted on 86 consecutive IIH who underwent at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota Stanford Medical Center, Palo Alto, California between May 2015 October 2021. Patients raised pressure...

Staphylococcus aureus D4508, obtained from a patient with nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS), produced enterotoxin A while not making other known enterotoxins or TSS toxin 1. Concentrated culture fluids of the organism, administered subcutaneously in miniosmotic pumps, induced TSS-like symptoms (four of six animals succumbed). Identical culture fluids pretreated with anti-enterotoxin A ser...

During transcription initiation, RNA polymerase (RNAP) binds to promoter DNA, unwinds promoter DNA to form an RNAP-promoter open complex (RPo) containing a single-stranded 'transcription bubble,' and selects a transcription start site (TSS). TSS selection occurs at different positions within the promoter region, depending on promoter sequence and initiating-substrate concentration. Variability ...

Accurate identification of promoter regions and transcription start sites (TSS) in genomic DNA allows for a more complete understanding of the structure of genes and gene regulation within a given genome. Many recently published methods have achieved high identification accuracy of TSS. However, models providing more accurate modeling of promoters and TSS are needed. A novel identification meth...

With the rapid development of MANET, secure and practical authentication is becoming increasingly important. The existing works perform the research from two aspects, i.e., (a)secure key division and distributed storage, (b)secure distributed authentication. But there still exist several unsolved problems. Specifically, it may suffer from cheating problems and fault authentication attack, which...
