This is a general overview document setting out the basics of ontology design for Project I1-[OntoSpace] and the SFB. First, a discussion of the major design parameters is given in order to familiarize SFB-members with the state of ontological engineering and the issues involved. We then select several key ontologies for discussion along the lines of the parameters introduced. We conclude by se...

The sequence of the fibronectin-binding domain of the fibronectin-binding protein of Streptococcus pyogenes (Sfb protein) was determined, and its role in streptococcal adherence was investigated by use of an Sfb fusion protein in adherence studies. A 1-kb DNA fragment coding for the binding domain of Sfb protein was cloned into the expression vector pEX31 to produce an Sfb fusion protein consis...

In San Francisco Bay (SFB), light availability is largely determined by the concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in water column. SPM exhibits substantial variation with time, depth, and location. To study how influences phytoplankton growth, we coupled a sediment transport model hydrodynamic biogeochemical model. The models were used to simulate conditions for year 2011 focus on...

The spherical Fourier-Bessel (SFB) decomposition is a natural choice for the radial/angular separation that allows extraction of cosmological information from large volume galaxy surveys, taking into account all wide-angle effects. In this paper we develop SFB power spectrum estimator measurement largest angular and radial modes with next generation surveys. code measures pseudo-SFB spectrum, t...

Here, we present the Proceedings of the I. International Conference of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 974 “Communication and Systems Relevance in Liver Damage and Regeneration” , held at Düsseldorf, Germany, November 15-16, 2013. The SFB 974 started its research work in 2012 following the SFB 575 “Experimental Hepatology” (2000 to 2011). The liver is long known for its high regenerative ...

The focus of this work is to study the behavior of various queue management algorithms, including RED (Random Early Detection), RIO (RED IN/OUT), SRR, SFB (Stochastic Fair Blue) and BLUE. The performance metrics of the comparison are Throughput (Quantity of Service), end–to–end delay (Quality of Service) and drop of packets. The simulation is done using NS-2. In this paper we have illustrated t...

Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are present in the gastrointestinal tract of mice from weaning until the maturation of the immune system. Probiotic bacteria also have an effect on host immunity. To study the relationships established between these bacteria, samples from a mouse model fed with Lactobacillus plantarum under different immunological conditions were analysed. SFB populations we...
