Reducing colonization of poultry flocks by Campylobacter spp. is a key strategy in the control and prevention human campylobacteriosis. Horizontal transmission of campylobacters, from in and around the farm, is the presumed route of flock colonization. However, the identification and prioritization of sources are confounded by the ubiquitous nature of these organisms in the environment, their p...

Strain preservation to maintain stable vitality and the recombinant enzyme activity plays a crucial role in industrial fermentation. A Pichia pastoris strain is routinely stored at −80 °C glycerol vial activated on an antibiotic-containing YPD agar plate before being used for Alternatively, should be preserved slant 2~4 (low-temperature storage) short period use. To maximize utilization of low-...

The occurrence of large earthquakes in stable continental interiors challenges the applicability of the classical steady state “seismic cycle” model to such regions. Here we shed new light onto this issue using as a case study the cluster of large reverse faulting earthquakes that occurred in Fennoscandia at 11–9 ka, triggered by the removal of the ice load during the final phase of regional de...

Abstract Objectives The study aims to generate the whole genome sequence of L. monocytogenes strain S2542 and compare it genomes strains RO15 ScottA. In addition, we aimed gene expression profiles S2542, ScottA after high-pressure processing (HPP) using ddPCR. Results indicates that this belongs serotype 4b, in contrast previously reported 1/2a. Strain appears be more susceptible treatment at 4...

Molecular epidemiological data on Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection in Africa is scarce. We characterized the emm-types and emm-clusters of 433 stored clinical GAS isolates from The Gambia collected between 2004 2018. To reduce potential for strain mistyping, we used a newly published primer emm-typing. There was considerable diversity, highlighting need vaccine development offering broad p...

conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

2. McSPRT This section summarizes the McSPRT algorithm for solving correlated selection problems. This section is brief. A more detailed discussion appears in [Gratch94]. McSPRT stands for “Multiple Comparison Sequential Probability Ratio Test.” A sequential procedure [Govindarjulu81] is one that draws data a little at a time until enough has been taken to make a statistical decision of some pr...

completed in 1950, was the first electronic computer with an internally stored program in the U.S. government. This paper describes how scanning and computer processing of images began at the National Bureau of Standards in 1956 and how the use of SEAC made possible experiments that led to the widespread use of image processing and many other computer innovations.

We provide a systematic reconstruction of Abramsky's category SProc of synchronous processes Abr93]: SProc is isomorphic to a span category on a category of traces. The signiicance of the work is twofold: It shows that the original presentation of SProc in mixed formulations is unnecessary | a simple categorical description exists. Furthermore, the techniques employed in the reconstruction sugg...
