Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms
Based on Darwin's concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions, and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms. In the current genomic era, increasing data indicated that both vertical and lateral gene inheritance interact in space and time to trigger genome evolution, particularly among microorganisms sharing a given eco...
متن کاملAmoeba-Resisting Bacteria and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
To evaluate the role of amoeba-associated bacteria as agents of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), we tested the water from an intensive care unit (ICU) every week for 6 months for such bacteria isolates; serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage samples (BAL) were also obtained from 30 ICU patients. BAL samples were examined for amoeba-associated bacteria DNA by suicide-polymerase chain rea...

چکیده هدف اصلی از طراحی لرزه ای تامین ایمنی جانی در هنگام وقوع زلزله و تعمیر پذیر بودن سازه خسارت دیده، پس از وقوع زلزله است. تجربه زلزله های اخیر نشان داده است که ساختمان های طراحی شده با آیین نامه های مبتنی بر نیرو از نظر محدود نمودن خسارت وارده بر سازه دقت لازم را ندارند. این امر سبب پیدایش نسل جدید آیین نامه های مبتنی بر عملکرد شده است. در این آیین نامه ها بر اساس تغییرشکل های غیرارتجاعی ...
15 صفحه اولLateral gene transfers have polished animal genomes: lessons from nematodes
It is now accepted that lateral gene transfers (LGT), have significantly contributed to the composition of bacterial genomes. The amplitude of the phenomenon is considered so high in prokaryotes that it challenges the traditional view of a binary hierarchical tree of life to correctly represent the evolutionary history of species. Given the plethora of transfers between prokaryotes, it is curre...
متن کاملAmoeba Techniques for Shape and Texture Analysis
Morphological amoebas are image-adaptive structuring elements for morphological and other local image filters introduced by Lerallut et al. Their construction is based on combining spatial distance with contrast information into an image-dependent metric. Amoeba filters show interesting parallels to image filtering methods based on partial differential equations (PDEs), which can be confirmed b...
