Bacterial pathogens must sense and respond to newly encountered host environments to regulate the expression of critical virulence factors that allow for niche adaptation and successful colonization. Among bacterial pathogens, non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica, such as serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm), are a primary cause of foodborne illnesses that lead to hospitalizations and deaths wo...

Forty-six Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse yearlings were used in two experiments to evaluate the effect of mineral supplementation on growth and skeletal development. In the first experiment, concentrate and bermudagrass hay diets providing 2.82 Mcal DE/kg (estimated), 13.0% CP, .62% Ca and .43% P on a DM basis were supplemented with trace minerals (TM) by adding 0, .5 or 1.0% TM premix to the c...

Purpose Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is particularly common in older individuals and associated with pathologic degeneration of the trabecular meshwork (TM). We have shown previously that transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived TM cells restores aqueous humor dynamics in young transgenic mice expressing a pathogenic form of human myocilin (Tg-MYOCY437H). This study...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: considering the presence of squamous epithelial cells and fibroblasts in the tympanic membrane (tm), topical estrogen application may influence the repair of tm perforations. therefore, this study was designed to investigate the healing effect of topical estrogen on chronic tm perforations and improvement in hearing threshold. materials ...

Transactional Memory (TM) has been proposed as an architectural extension to enable lock-free data structures. With the ubiquity of multi-core systems, the idea of TM gains new momentum. The motivation for the invention of TM was to simplify the synchronization of parallel threads in a shared memory system. TM features optimistic concurrency as opposed to the pessimistic concurrency with tradit...

Traditional medicine (TM) is being used more frequently all over the world. However most often these are choices made by the patient. Integrating TM into mainstream health care would require research to understand the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of TM systems. This paper describes research done on TM and difficulties encountered in researching TM, especially when an attempt is mad...

Transactional Memory (TM) is a concurrent programming paradigm that aims to make concurrent programming easier than finegrain locking, whilst providing similar performance and scalability. Several TM systems have been made available for research purposes. However, there is a lack of a wide range of non-trivial benchmarks with which to thoroughly evaluate these TM systems. This paper introduces ...

the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract. We have investigated the local atomic structure of amorphous TM-Ti alloys (TM = Co, Ni, Cu) produced by Mechanical Alloying by means of EXAFS analyses on TM and Ti K-edges. Coordination numbers and interatomic distances for the four alloys where found and compared. EXAFS results obtained indicated a shortening in the unlike p...

Mitochondrial genomes have been useful for inferring animal phylogeny across a wide range of clades, however they are still poorly sampled in some animal taxa, limiting our knowledge of mtDNA evolution. For example, despite being one of the most diverse animal phyla, only 5 complete annelid mitochrondial genomes have been published. To address this paucity of information, we obtained complete m...
