DAPA-CKD

Analysis of the Corynebacterium glutamicum dapA promoter.

Deletion and mutational analysis of the promoter P-dapA from Corynebacterium glutamicum was performed to identify regions and particular nucleotides important for its function. An extended -10 region and a stretch of six T's at positions -55 to -50 were found to be the most important elements in the promoter function. The results of mutational analysis of P-dapA are consistent with the conclusi...

DAPA: Diagnosing Application Performance Anomalies for Virtualized Infrastructures

As cloud service providers leverage server virtualization to host applications in virtual machines (VMs), they must ensure proper allocation of resource capacities in order to satisfy the contracted service level agreements (SLAs) with the application owners. However, the ever-growing number of virtual and physical machines within such infrastructure creates greater challenges in quickly and ef...

[Vascular calcification in CKD].

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) constituem a principal causa de mortalidade em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC).1 O risco de óbito por DCV nessa população chega a ser 10 a 30 vezes maior que aquele observado na população geral. Esse aumento da mortalidade também ocorre em pacientes nos estágios precoces da DRC,2 assim como naqueles submetidos a transplante renal.3 A alta prevalência d...
