A novel mechanism for enhancement of adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to host components is described. A secreted protein, Eap (extracellular adherence protein), was purified from the supernatant of S. aureus Newman and found to be able to bind to at least seven plasma proteins, e.g., fibronectin, the alpha-chain of fibrinogen, and prothrombin, and to the surface of S. aureus. Eap bound much ...

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is at the forefront of "both theory development and innovative practice in teaching as a second/other language" Hyland (2006, p.1), it has become predominant language science research. However, many EAP courses still lack theoretical rationale, teachers rely on textbooks or experiences to develop their own methodology material. Based Newton (2018), Kroll &amp...

We have recently cloned and characterized a novel embryonic alkaline phosphatase (EAP) expressed at the two-cell to blastocyst stage of preimplantation development in the mouse. The isozyme is re-expressed in trace amounts in the thymus, intestine and testis during adult life. In the present report, we find that EAP transcripts can be detected, by RT-PCR analysis, in very low amounts in the tes...

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is the unique technique to infer the microstructure of the white matter in vivo and noninvasively, by modeling the diffusion of water molecules. Ensemble Average Propagator (EAP) and Orientation Distribution Function (ODF) are two important Probability Density Functions (PDFs) which reflect the water diffusion. Estimation and processing of EAP and ODF is the central problem...

INTRODUCTION The early detection of critically ill patients together with the rapid initiation of effective treatment in emergency departments(ED) increase the survival rates. AIM This study investigated whether a correlation exists between haemodynamic parameters of critically ill patients and the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was p...

Quick ML, Mukherjee S, Rudick CN, Done JD, Schaeffer AJ, Thumbikat P. CCL2 and CCL3 are essential mediators of pelvic pain in experimental autoimmune prostatitis.

The interdecadal change in the relationship between East Asia-Pacific (EAP) teleconnection pattern and rainfall over China during boreal summer (June–August) was investigated using observation reanalysis datasets 1951–2018. As proposed a previous study, Yangtze-Huaihe River (YH-R) valley is below (above) normal when positive (negative) EAP event occurs. Based on close with anomalies, has been w...
