Bacteriophage phi 80 and lambda-phi 80 hybrid phage of the type lambda (QSR)80, in which the rightmost 10% of the lambda genome is replaced by corresponding phi 80 material, are unable to grow lytically in himA and hip/himD mutants of Escherichia coli K12 at 32 degrees. The genetic element responsible for the growth defect, rha, has been mapped to the (QSR)80 region and was located more precise...

background: the objective of this qualitative study on young adults with type 1 diabetes was to determine the factors associated with mismanagement of diabetes. methods: in this qualitative study, a descriptive phenomenological and psychological method was followed. purposeful sampling method was used in this study. 28 young adults aged 18-25 with type 1 diabetes (16 females, 12 males) with hba...

We study an alternative to the prevailing approach to modelling qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) problems as constraint satisfaction problems. In the standard approach, a relation between objects is a constraint whereas in the alternative approach it is a variable. By being declarative, the relation-variable approach greatly simplifies integration and implementation of QSR. To substantiate t...

We investigate the low-temperature quantum stochastic resonance (QSR) phenomenon in a two-level system (TLS) which is coupled to an Ohmic heat bath. In contrast to common belief we find that QSR occurs also for symmetric (i.e., unbiased) TLS's if the viscous friction parameter alpha exceeds a critical value: We demonstrate that with respect to the spectral power amplification measure QSR always...

Elder abuse is a multifactorial public health issue deeply affected by silence and discrimination. This paper aims to analyze the social representations of violence among older people with functional dependence based on theory representations. A qualitative exploratory–descriptive study was conducted sample 21 enrolled in home-based program Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. sociodemographic ...

Purpose : To investigate the existence of fitness orientations among preservice teachers (PTs) and to identify what has influenced these orientations. Methods The participants were 14 undergraduate PTs enrolled in a physical education teacher games methods course Northeast United States. Qualitative data collected through autobiographical essays, orientation self-identification diagrams, semist...

Theoretical work on Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) is abundant, but the actual requirements of practical applications have been widely ignored. This paper discusses how ontologies allow to compare different QSR formalisms with respect to definability of spatial concepts, which are taken from a realworld problem. We introduce the problem of detecting physically defective parts (such as in m...

In this big data modern age, enormous size of data is a challenge for the computer algorithms as well as hardware because important information is hidden in the data. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to transform the data so that meaningful information becomes explicit. The huge dimensional data can be approximated with a few dimensions. Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR), spatial or...
