A particular class of multiple model, known as decoupled multiple model, is used in order to cope with the state estimation problem of nonlinear systems. This attractive kind of multiple model is characterized by submodels of which the state belong to spaces of various dimensions, in contrast to the popular Takagi-Sugeno multiple model where the dimensions of the state space of the submodels ar...

background: in the present study, a pcr-rflp based molecular technique was designed to rapid identification of der­matophytes in clinical specimens. skin scrapings obtained from human cases suspected to dermatophytosis were studied in or­der to identify involved etiological fungi. methods: in this experimental study, the specimens (skin scrapings) of patients referred to mycology department of ...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves interactions between the host genetic susceptibility, intestinal microflora and mucosal immune responses through the pattern recognition receptor. Polymorphisms in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) induce an aberrant immune response to indigenous intestinal flora, which might favor IBD development. In this study, we aimed to det...

Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) has an important pattern recognition receptor that recognizes endotoxins associated with gram negative bacterial infections. The present investigation was carried out to study nucleotide sequencing and SNP detection by PCR-RFLP analysis of the TLR-4 gene in Murrah buffalo. Genomic DNA was isolated from 102 lactating Murrah buffalo from NDRI herd. The amplified PCR f...

Molecular characterization of one stable strain of Trypanosoma cruzi, the 21 SF, representative of the pattern of strains isolated from the endemic area of São Felipe, State of Bahia, Brazil, maintained for 15 years in laboratory by serial passages in mice and classified as biodeme Type II and zymodeme 2 has been investigated. The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) of parental strain, 5 clones and 14 subcl...

Larvae of many species of Sesiidae, the clearwing moths, are important pests in commercial nurseries, urban landscapes, timber stands, vineyards, and orchards. They cause economic loss by larval boring in stems and roots of herbaceous and woody plants. Researchers and growers often monitor for the presence of economically important sesiid adults with pheromone traps. These traps often attract m...
