The Guillain-Barré syndrome is often preceded by a herpes virus infection. Herpes simplex virus, however, has rarely been observed as the causative agent. A patient is described with a herpes simplex virus infection followed by a Guillain-Barré syndrome. Immunoblotting was used to detect herpes simplex virus-specific antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

Bacillus simplex DSM 1321 is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and aerobic bacterium. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. simplex DSM 1321, with 6,494,937 bp, which will provide useful information for setting up phylogenomics in genomic taxonomy of the Bacillus-like bacteria as well as for the functional gene mining and application of B. simplex DSM 1321.

This paper shows that the optimal simplex, in the sense of minimizing the linear interpolation error of the quadratic function u(x) = x2 measured in Lp-norm, is the equilateral simplex. It also contains several explicit formulae on the best interpolation error when the volume of the simplex is one.

We describe a case of chronic atypical herpes simplex type 2 encephalitis in an immunocompromised 68 year old man presenting with headache and cognitive changes without focal neurological or MRI findings. To our knowledge this is the first described case of herpes simplex encephalitis associated with normal MRI brain imaging and non-focal neurological examination. This further expands the range...

Euastacus morgani sp. n., is described from a highland, rainforest site in Bindarri National Park, in eastern New South Wales, Australia. Euastacus morgani is found living sympatrically with two more common species, Euastacus dangadi Morgan, 1997 and Euastacus neohirsutus Riek, 1956. Systematically, the species belongs in the 'simplex' complex of the genus that includes Euastacus simplex Riek, ...

The sensitization of herpes simplex virus by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies was studied. Although herpes simplex virus sensitized by IgG could not be neutralized by IgA antibodies known to neutralize a similar number of unsensitized viruses, this protection could be overcome by larger amounts of IgA antibodies. This suggests that the effective neutralization of herpes simplex virus in ocular...

By integrating the underlying developmental mechanisms for the phenotypic formation of traits into a mapping framework, functional mapping has emerged as an important statistical approach for mapping complex traits. In this note, we explore the feasibility of using the simplex algorithm as an alternative to solve the mixture-based likelihood for functional mapping of complex traits. The results...

We will derive two results of the primal simplex method by constructing simple LP instances on 0-1 polytopes. First, for any 0-1 polytope and any of its two vertices, we can construct an LP instance for which the simplex method finds a path between them, whose length is at most the dimension of the polytope. This proves a well-known result that the diameter of any 0-1 polytope is bounded by its...

A simplex of a graph G is a subgraph of G which is a complete graph. The simplex graph Simp(G) of G is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all simplices of G and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a non-empty intersection. The simplex graph operator is the operator which to every graph G assigns its simplex graph Simp(G). The paper studies graphs which are fixed in...
