A fatal case of enterovirus 71 infection with pulmonary edema and rhombencephalitis occurred in Brest, France, in April 2007. The virus was identified as subgenogroup C2. This highly neurotropic enterovirus merits specific surveillance outside the Asia-Pacific region.

Microarray technology generates a large amount of data. Clustering is popular technique for locating genes that are expressed in close proximity. It entails examining fresh dataset to determine whether similar traits can be used identify any hidden groupings. There large-dimensional datasets accessible, such as those produced from gene expression investigations, RNA microarray studies, or seque...

Brest harbor (Bay of Brest, Brittany, France) has a severe past of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but inputs tended to decrease, indicating a reassessment of its ecotoxicological status should be carried out. Here, native and caged mussels (Mytilus spp.) were used in combination to evaluate biological effects of chronic chemical contamination in Brest harbor. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocar...

differential evolution Iztok Fister Jr.,∗ Iztok Fister,† and Janez Brest‡ Abstract Differential evolution possesses a multitude of various strategies for generating new trial solutions. Unfortunately, the best strategy is not known in advance. Moreover, this strategy usually depends on the problem to be solved. This paper suggests using various regression methods (like random forest, extremely ...
