The ability to withstand viral predation is critical for survival of most microbes. Accordingly, a plethora of phage resistance systems has been identified in bacterial genomes (Labrie et al, 2010), including restriction‐modification systems (R‐M) (Tock & Dryden, 2005), abortive infection (Abi) (Chopin et al, 2005), Argonaute‐based interference (Swarts et al, 2014), as well as clustered regular...

a reinforced concrete member in which the total span or shear span is especially small in relation to its depth is called a deep beam. in this study, a new approach based on the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (rc) deep beams. a constitutive relationship was obtained correlating the ultimate load with seven mechanical a...

This study investigates the effect of different link beam lengths in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with the Linked Column Frame (LCF) system. It also investigates the ratio of the link beam length (e) to the span length of the RC frame (L) from 0 to 1.5 for the 9 models of the RC frame retrofitted by the LCF system has been investigated. In addition, it studies the formation of...

The Tat system allows the translocation of folded and often cofactor-containing proteins across biological membranes. Here, we show by an interspecies transfer of a complete Tat translocon that Tat systems are largely, but not fully, interchangeable even between different classes of proteobacteria. The Tat apparatus from the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus was transferred to a Tat-...

Abstract Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder with adverse effects on haematological parameters level, oxidative stress and antioxidant defence system. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rosa canina (RC) fruit hydro alcoholic extract on oxidative stress, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and haematological parameters in diabetic mice. <st...

The significance of the seismic rotational components have been overlooked in the seismic evaluation of structural behavior. As researchers have measured seismic components more accurately using sensitive rotational velocity sensor, it was observed that the magnitude of rotational components is considerable and could not be neglected. Hence, some parts of seismic damage or failure of structures...

Many researchers and companies have been interested in computer systems which have reconfigurable devices as programmable resources. Current Reconfigurable systems (RC systems) are basically single task systems, but the number of reconfigurable devices in these systems has increased so that multitasking environment for the systems are required to use the devices efficiently. In this paper, we d...

In this paper, we focus on the synthetic understanding of documents, specifically reading comprehension (RC). A current problem with RC is the need for a method of analyzing the RC system performance to realize further development. We propose a methodology for examining RC systems from multiple viewpoints. Our methodology consists of three steps: define a set of basic skills used for RC, manual...
