Haemophilus parasuis is a swine pathogen of significant industry concern, but little is known about how the organism causes disease. A related human pathogen, Haemophilus influenzae, has been better studied, and many of its virulence factors have been identified. Two of these, outer membrane proteins P2 and P5, are known to have important virulence properties. The goals of this study were to id...

in this paper the telemac-3d model has been hired to simulate and study the high waves’ interaction with coastal structures. therefore a special arrangement of telemac-3d has been prepared in this study to simulate wave generation, coastal processes, wave set-up and overtopping over coastal structures. experimental data has been used to verify this arrangement of the model. thereafter, the mode...

Previous research has shown that as the stimulus-to-matching-stimulus interval (including the target-to-target interval, TTI, and nontarget-to-nontarget interval, NNI) increases, the amplitude of the P300 ERP component increases systematically. Here, we extended previous P300 research and explored TTI and NNI effects on the various ERP components elicited in an auditory equiprobable Go/NoGo tas...

We explicitly determine all of the transitive groups of degree p2, p a prime, whose Sylow p-subgroup is not isomorphic to the wreath product Z p Z p . Furthermore, we provide a general description of the transitive groups of degree p2 whose Sylow p-subgroup is isomorphic to Z p Z p , and explicitly determine most of them. As applications, we solve the Cayley Isomorphism problem for Cayley objec...

The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) cleaves 11 sites in the polyproteins, including its own N- and C-terminal autoprocessing sites, by recognizing P4-P1 and P1'. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of 3CLpro with the C-terminal prosequence and the catalytic-site C145A mutation, in which the enzyme binds the C-terminal proseque...

Linked article: This Correspondence comments on Sapantzoglou et al. and Sarno We followed with great interest the studies of Sapantzoglou1, Sarno2 colleagues from Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) group who introduced ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler as a new tool in their multivariate prediction models for pre-eclampsia (PE) gestational hypertension, published recently this Journal. The authors pr...

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the entropy numbers of the compact embedding B1 p1,q1(R d , α) ↪→ B2 p2,q2(R ). Here Bs p,q (R d , α) denotes a weighted Besov space, where the weight is given by wα(x) = (1 + |x |2)α/2, and B2 p2,q2 (Rd ) denotes the unweighted Besov space, respectively. We shall concentrate on the so-called limiting situation given by the following constellation of pa...

We study some discrete and continuous variants of the following problem of Erdős: given a finite subset P of R or R, what is the maximum number of pairs (p1, p2) with p1, p2 ∈ P and |p1−p2| = 1?

in this paper, a certain new connectedness of l-fuzzy subsets inl-topological spaces is introduced and studied by means of preclosed sets. itpreserves some fundamental properties of connected set in general topology.especially the famous k. fan’s theorem holds.
