In 1985, a frozen mummy was found in Cerro Aconcagua (Argentina). Archaeological studies identified the mummy as a seven-year-old Inca sacrifice victim who lived >500 years ago, at the time of the expansion of the Inca Empire towards the southern cone. The sequence of its entire mitogenome was obtained. After querying a large worldwide database of mitogenomes (>28,000) we found that the Inca ha...

In the recent paper by Call et al. (1), the authors show that sequence analysis of their IncA/C plasmids revealed that antimicrobial resistance genes were grouped in four main regions in addition to the region that harbors the blaCMY gene in an otherwise highly related plasmid backbone structure. The authors show that the floR resistance region is found in all three plasmids as well as in the p...

Determinants of multidrug resistance (MDR) are often encoded on mobile elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons, which have the potential to transfer among foodborne pathogens, as well as to other virulent pathogens, increasing the threats these traits pose to human and veterinary health. Our understanding of MDR among Salmonella has been limited by the lack of closed plasmid geno...

In this paper, we describe Inca, an adap-tive, advisable assistant for crisis response. The system lets users guide the search toward particular schedules by giving high-level, operational advice about the solutions desired. Because traces of user interactions provide information regarding the user's preferences among schedules, Inca can draw on machine learning techniques to construct user mod...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the partial results of the first project on Integrative Oncology in Brazil, which is being put into practice at the Clinics Hospital of the University of Campinas (HC/Unicamp). The majority of the Brazilian population uses the public National Health System (SUS) and one of its units, the National Institute for Cancer (INCA), administers cancer t...

The bee genus Mirnapis is revised. Mirnapis ohloweni Packer and Dumesh new species, is described from East of Nazca, Peru and compared to both sexes of the type species, M. inca Urban, based upon material from northern Chile. Thus, the female of the genus is described for the first time. Both sexes of both species are illustrated and variation in some important characteristics noted. The new ma...

این پژوهش با الهام گرفتن از نتایج یک طرح مطالعاتی کاربردی، رویکرد سلسله­‌مراتبی جهت پیگیری فرایند توسعه تأمین‌کنندگان و حمایت تصمیمات موجود در هر مراحل آن ارائه‌ می‌کند. ابتدا، زمینه‌های تأمین نیازمند سپس واجد شرایط هریک زمینه‌ها به کمک تصمیم‌گیری چندشاخصه بهترین-بدترین مشخص می‌گردند. معیارهای شناسایی نیز مرور مطالعات پیشین بهره‌گیری نظرات خبرگان حوزه‌ی خرید استخراج‌شده‌اند. درنهایت، مدل ریاضی ...
