Malassezia—Can it be Ignored?
Genus Malassezia comprises of 14 species of "yeast like fungi," 13 of which are lipophilic and 1 is nonlipophilic. They are known commensals and in predisposed individuals they commonly cause a spectrum of chronic recurrent infections. They rarely also cause serious illnesses like catheter-related blood stream infections, CAPD associated peritonitis etc., Though these fungi have been known to m...
متن کاملExploring the population implications of male preference when the sex probabilities at birth can be altered
OBJECTIVE The paper explores the population effects of male preference stopping rules and of alternative combinations of fertility rates and male-biased birth sex ratios. METHODS The ‘laboratory’ is a closed, stable population with five age groups and a dynamic process represented by a compact Leslie matrix. The new element is sex-selective abortion. We consider nine stopping rules, one with no...
متن کاملSmall proteins can no longer be ignored.
Small proteins, here defined as proteins of 50 amino acids or fewer in the absence of processing, have traditionally been overlooked due to challenges in their annotation and biochemical detection. In the past several years, however, increasing numbers of small proteins have been identified either through the realization that mutations in intergenic regions are actually within unannotated small...
متن کاملWhen can the cause of a population decline be determined?
Inferring the factors responsible for declines in abundance is a prerequisite to preventing the extinction of wild populations. Many of the policies and programmes intended to prevent extinctions operate on the assumption that the factors driving the decline of a population can be determined. Exogenous factors that cause declines in abundance can be statistically confounded with endogenous fact...
متن کاملCan Water Polarizability Be Ignored in Hydrogen Bond Kinetics?
The kinetics of forming and breaking water-water hydrogen bonds in neat water, an aqueous solution of ethane, and an aqueous solution of NaCl are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We compare nonpolarizable and polarizable water models to elucidate the effect of water’s polarizability on hydrogen bonds. We find that polarizability strengthens the hydrogen bonds and increases the hydroge...
