We report the identification of a new cell wall-associated protein of Enterococcus faecalis. Studies on the distribution of the gene encoding this novel surface protein, Esp, reveal a significant (P < 0.001) enrichment in infection-derived E. faecalis isolates. Interestingly, the esp gene was not identified in any of 34 clinical E. faecium isolates or in 4 other less pathogenic enterococcal spe...

PURPOSE families of dementia patients receiving skilled homecare do not receive supportive services. We evaluated whether a proven intervention, Environmental Skill-building Program (ESP), which reduces caregiver burden and enhances skills managing patient functioning, can be integrated into homecare practices of occupational therapists (OTs) and reimbursed through Medicare Part B. DESIGN AND...

PURPOSE This study was conducted in order to determine the occurrence of esp and biofilm formation among Enterococcus faecalis causing mastitis isolated from different bovine and environmental origins. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 E. faecalis isolates were obtained from clinical mastitis before antibiotic therapy, subclinical mastitis, dried manure bedding samples, and postpartum milk ...

Instead of continuing their studies, Vocational High School (SMK) students are prepared to work following graduation. Thus, instead using general English, ESP (English for Specific Purposes) should be integrated in SMK. However, the Indonesian National Curriculum decided teach both SMA (General School) and SMK same English content. The purpose this study is see how graduates feel about EFL mate...

Together with great proliferation of online resources on the one hand and a striking lack of commercially published materials for specific ESP domains on the other, the ESP teacher needs to reflect on using Internet materials judiciously in the language classroom. An indispensable element of the teaching process in any context is effective resourcing, or the ability to find, evaluate and use re...

The reduction of SO2 and PM for marine engines was investigated using the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with the heat exchanger. The experiments were carried out to reduce SO2 due to condensation of water in the exhausted gas. The experimental system consists of the diesel engine, the heat exchanger and the ESP. The exhausted gas at 180 o C of the temperature is cooled to 20 o C, and generat...

We propose a method called Rule-based ESP (RESP) for utilizing prior knowledge evolving Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). First, KBANN-like techniques are used to transform a set of rules into an ANN, then the ANN is trained using the Enforced Subpopulations (ESP) neuroevolution method. Empirical results in the Prey Capture domain show that RESP can reach higher level of performance than ESP. ...
