Electronic Nose based ENT bacteria identification in hospital environment is a classical and challenging problem of classification. In this paper an electronic nose (e-nose), comprising a hybrid array of 12 tin oxide sensors (SnO2) and 6 conducting polym
To determine the differences in mosquito vector competence between MM_1775 and CQW1, female mosquitoes were orally infected with MM_1775, TMUV MM/CQ-3′UTR, MM/CQ-E or MM/CQ-NS1 at a dose of 105 TCID50/mL. At 8 days post-infection, the mosquitoes were killed to detect IR. To furt...
Genes that were not covered by this procedure were considered to each form a singleton operon. 3. Prediction of orthologs We used the reciprocal best hit method [29] to predict orthologous genes between each two genomes by the BLASTP program with an E-value cutoff 10-6 for both directions....
In a simplified form, we previously used the insulin signaling system as a demonstration object for combinatorial complexity [3]. The complexity (145,156,469 possible species) results from a combination of the first three items listed above. Many other signaling systems also show combinatorial compl...
of the central metabolism is represented byrpdh. Since other fluxes from or to PEP and pyruvate are rather marginal they are not considered in the model. Proteins EI, HPr, and EIIACrrof the PTS are represented by only one componentXthat exists either in the unphosphorylated formXor in the ...
As two of the most popular gene-finders, Glimmer and GeneMark have been used to annotate hundreds of genomes. The most recent versions, Glimmer 3 and GeneMarkS, include a RBS model to predict TISs, which is in a form of PWM whose parameters are derived by a Gibbs sampler. High performanc...
The distributional assumption on the noise variableWdetermines the distributional form of the survival timeT. If this distribution is fully specified, we refer to Model (1) as aparametricAFT model. For example, ifWfollows a standard extreme value distribution,T(givenX) follows a Weibull distributio...
As the core oligosaccharide is common to rough and smooth LPS, MAb 6B8 likely differed from the others by recognizing this region rather than just the formamido-mannose polymer in OPS [24]. The epitope of MAb 6B8 necessitates further analysis. Fortunately, one monoclonal antibody 3 F9, ...
Development of a fast and accurate scoring function in virtual screening remains a hot issue in current computer-aided drug research. Different scoring functions focus on diverse aspects of ligand binding, and no single scoring can satisfy the peculiarit
Protein domains form more natural units for the study of the evolution of gene-content for several reasons. It can be argued that protein domains act like 'evolutionary atoms' to a certain extent [9]; Protein domains form functional units [13] that cannot be split into smaller units, and ...
