Three Gram-negative bacterial strains (Cmf 17.2T, Rd 20.33 and Cmf 18.22T) isolated from reared clams in Galicia were subjected to a taxonomic study, based on genetic and phenotypic characterization. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene allowed the identification of the strains as members of the genus Marinomonas, sharing the highest similarity with Marinomonas aquimarina CECT 5080T (97.8 %-98.5 % 16S...

Background: Congenital malformations (CMF) are third most common cause of perinatal mortality in India making their prediction and prevention highly eminent. The present study was designed to analyze the frequency, distribution and patterns of CMF among babies born in a teaching hospital in Punjab, along-with factors contributing towards their occurrence. Methods: This was a prospective study i...

INTRODUCTION Non-battle injuries (NBIs) can be a source of significant resource utilization for the armed forces in a deployed setting. While the incidence and severity of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) battle injuries (BIs) have reportedly increased in the ongoing U.S. military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the prevalence and the nature of NBIs are not well described. MATERIAL AND METHODS Th...

The compute-and-forward (CMF) method has shown a great promise as an innovative approach to exploit interference toward achieving higher network throughput. The CMF was primarily introduced by means of information theory tools. While there have been some recent works discussing different aspects of efficient and practical implementation of CMF, there are still some issues that are not covered. ...

BACKGROUND Giant cell fibroma is a type of fibrous tumour of the oral mucosa which rarely affects children under the age of 10. The purpose of this paper was to contribute two clinically and histologically documented cases of giant cell fibroma in the free gingiva of a 7 and 6 year old boys. METHODS Both nodules were presented in the mandibular anterior region. In the differential diagnosis s...

in this contribution, linearized dynamic model of cumulative mass fraction (cmf) of potassium nitrate-water seeded continues mixed suspension mixed product removal (cmsmpr) crystallizer is approximated by a simplified model in frequency domain. frequency domain model simplification is performed heuristically using the frequency response of the derived linearized models data. however, the cmf fr...

BACKGROUND IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) is one of the most common food allergies in infants. It is still controversial whether the early introduction of cow's milk formula (CMF) prevents the development of CMA. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the duration and frequency of CMF ingestion as compere with exclusive breast-fed for preventing CMA in high-risk infants. METHODS We enrolled ...

During Dictyostelium development, the expression of some genes is dependent on cell density. This effect is mediated by soluble factors referred to as conditioned medium factors (CMFs) which the developing cells secrete at very low rates and simultaneously sense. There are at least two classes of CMFs: one is an 80 x 10(3) Mr glycoprotein and the other is a heterogeneous group of molecules, wit...

Copy-Move Forgery (CMF) is a simple and effective operation to generate forged digital images. Recent, techniques on Scale Invariant Features Transform (SIFT) are commonly used to detect CMF. Various approaches under the SIFTframework are the most acceptable ways to CMF detection due to the robust performance of SIFT. However, for some CMF images, these approaches cannot produce satisfactory de...
