PJ, an algorithm for Contest BioGraph’14
Graphs are usual data structures in Computational Biology and Chemistry. Indeed, molecules and many biological structures can easily be represented as graphs and stored in large databases. For this reason and other applications in Image Analysis for instance, a lot of exact and approximate matching algorithms have been proposed to address the problem of searching for patterns in large graphs. I...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of a Pneumocystis jirovecii real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJ), a pathogenic fungus, causes severe interstitial Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) among immunocompromised patients. A laboratory-developed real-time polyermase chain reaction (PCR) assay was validated for PJ detection to improve diagnosis of PCP. METHODS Forty stored bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples (20 known PJ positive [PJ+] and 20 known PJ negative [P...
متن کاملTwo Cumulativity Results on J-and Pj-default Logics
This paper reports two cumulativity results for J-and PJ-default logics formalized by Del-grande and Jackson Delgrande and Jackson, 1991] in the context of skeptical reasoning: (1) PJ-default logic is cumulative, and (2) J-default logic is not cumulative in general but there is a nontrivial class of theories for which the cumu-lativity property can still hold. We also investigate semantical imp...

Materials and Methods: 28 CP and 17 GAgP patients were included in the study and their cigarette consumption was determined by verbal questioning. In each patient, 4 sites with pocket depths of 5mm or greater were selected. At each site the modified gingival index (MGI), plaque index (PlI), bleeding on probing (PD), suppuration (Supp), probing depth (PD) and relative attachment level (RAL) were...
