Nyczepir, A. P. 2009. Dynamics of concomitant populations of Pratylenchus vulnus and Meloidogyne incognita on peach. Nematropica 39:273-279. The effect of the interaction between Meloidogyne incognita and Pratylenchus vulnus on nematode reproduction and vegetative growth of Lovell peach was studied in field microplots. Pratylenchus vulnus suppressed the population density of M. incognita second...

Syntheses of a hexasaccharide, the dimer of the repeating unit of the group E streptococci polysaccharide, and a tetrasaccharide, the repeating unit of the E. coli O7:K98:H6, were achieved by constructing alternate alpha-L-(1-->2)- and alpha-L-(1-->3)-linked L-rhamnopyranose backbones and substituting with beta-linked D-glucopyranose side chains for the former, and a D-glucopyranosyluronate bra...

|We present an interactive manipulation path planner under development for providing high-level task-based control for humanoid robots. Using a graphical simulation environment, the software is designed to facilitate the automation of object grasping and manipulation tasks. A randomized path planner is used to directly search the free con guration space of the robot for a collision-free manipul...

Human intestinal in vitro organ culture was used to assess the tissue tropism of human isolates of Escherichia coli O103:H2 and O103:H- that express intimin epsilon. Both strains showed tropism for follicle associated epithelium and limited adhesion to other regions of the small and large intestine. This is similar to the tissue tropism shown by intimin gamma enterohaemorrhagic (EHEC) O157:H7, ...

Finding the number 2H6 of directed Hamiltonian cycles in 6-cube is problem 43 in Section 7.2.1.1 of Knuth’s The Art of Computer Programming ([Kn10]); various proposed estimates are surveyed below. We computed exact value: H6=14, 754, 666, 508, 334, 433, 250, 560=6!*2 4*217, 199*1, 085, 989*5, 429, 923. Also the number Aut6 of those cycles up to automorphisms of 6-cube was computed as 147,365,40...

The insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) variant, v311 (rs6583817), is associated with increased post-mortem cerebellar IDE mRNA, decreased plasma β-amyloid (Aβ), decreased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and increased reporter gene expression, suggesting that it is a functional variant driving increased IDE expression. To identify other functional IDE variants, we have tested v685, rs11187061 (ass...

A total of 90 random samples of ready to-eat-pastry foods of meat pie, meat pizza and pasta pashamil. 30 samples of each were collected from different fast foods services at Kalyobia governorate to be examined bacteriologically for detection of pathogenic Escherichia coli microorganisms. The obtained results indicate that incidence of E.coli isolated from examined samples of pastry foods were 2...

BACKGROUND Avian influenza viruses (AIV) cause huge economic losses in poultry industries and pose a substantial threat to human health. However, predicting AIV epizootics and emergence in humans is confounded by insufficient empirical data on the ecology and dynamics of AIV in poultry systems. To address this gap, we quantified incidence patterns for 13 hemagglutinin subtypes of AIV using 6 ye...
