BACKGROUND Strategies employed by parasites to establish infections are poorly understood. The host-parasite interface is maintained through a molecular dialog that, among other roles, protects parasites from host immune responses. Parasite excretory/secretory products (ESP) play major roles in this process. Understanding the biology of protein secretion by parasites and their associated functi...

Investigators have pondered whether or not ESP size has an impact on mercury capture by sorbent injection or deposition on fly ash. If important, ESP size would then have an impact on how effectively a power plant captures mercury and can comply with mercury control requirements. There are two possible elements to the impact of ESP size. First, does a larger ESP enable more mercury capture to o...

A comprehensive understanding of cancer is predicated upon knowledge of the structure of malignant genomes underlying its many variant forms and the molecular mechanisms giving rise to them. It is well established that solid tumor genomes accumulate a large number of genome rearrangements during tumorigenesis. End Sequence Profiling (ESP) maps and clones genome breakpoints associated with all t...

ESP is an active safety system for road vehicles to control the dynamic vehicle motion in emergency, the composition and working principle of ESP were introduced in the paper, and the control technology of ESP was studied too. A virtual prototype model of a vehicle model was built in ADAMS/Car, and the yaw fuzzy control co-simulation model of vehicle was established in Matlab/Simulink, to study...

there is a growing interest among the higher education principals and policy makers to improve teacher evaluation methods and more important than that to use the evaluation data. a number of research studies implied the ineffective instruction of esp courses in iran (atai, 2002; eslami, 2005; hayati, 2008; ahmadi, 2008; sherkatolabbasi & mahdavi, 2012; boniadi, ghojazadeh & rahmatvand, ...

Enterococci have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens with resistance to multiple antibiotics. Adhesion to abiotic materials and biofilm formation on medical devices are considered important virulence properties. A single clonal lineage of Enterococcus faecium, complex 17 (CC17), appears to be a successful nosocomial pathogen, and most CC17 isolates harbor the enterococcal surface protein ...

Web 2.0 technology enables people worldwide to collaborate over the Internet, a phenomenon known as social collaboration. While the incentives for social collaboration are primarily enthusiasm for a particular subject, building a reputation, or gaining a benefit by doing something in exchange for using services or downloading files, the emergence of human computation games has shown that the pr...

ESP-102, an extract from Angelica gigas, Saururus chinensis, and Schisandra chinensis, has been used as herbal medicine and dietary supplement in Korea. Despite the numerous bioactivities in vitro and in vivo studies, its effects on neuronal networks remain elusive. To address the neuronal effect, we examined synaptic plasticity in organotypic hippocampal slice culture with multielectrode array...

Although cancer progression is often associated with genome rearrangements, little is known about the detailed genomic architecture of tumor genomes. The attempt to reconstruct the genomic organization of a tumor genome recently resulted in the development of the End Sequence Profiling (ESP) technique, and the application of this technique to human MCF7 tumor cells. We formulate the ESP Genome ...
