Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is a severe respiratory disease of cattle that is caused by a bacterium of the Mycoplasma genus, namely Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm). In the absence of classical virulence determinants, the pathogenicity of Mmm is thought to rely on intrinsic metabolic functions and specific components of the outer cell surface. One of these latter, the capsular po...

ارتقای بازدارندگی دفاعی مستلزم تولید گسترده و متنوع محصولات تجهیزات نظامی است که نیازمند به‌کارگیری ظرفیت‌ها قابلیت‌های وسیع صنعتی است. ازآنجاکه تصدی تملک همه این قابلیت‌ها منطقی اقتصادی نیست، بخشی از فعالیت‌های تولیدی در صنایع دفاعی، برون‌سپاری می­‌شود به ایجاد شبکه بزرگی تأمین‌کنندگان منجر شده گستردگی شبکه، تعاملات همکارانه بهبود عملکرد زنجیره تأمین را یک چالش جدی برای مدیران تبدیل کرده سازما...

We outline a neo-Meinongian framework labeled as Modal Meinongian Metaphysics (MMM) to account for the ontology and semantics of fictional discourse. Several competing accounts of fictional objects are originated by the fact that our talking of them mirrors incoherent intuitions: mainstream theories of fiction privilege some such intuitions, but are forced to account for others via complicated ...

Is domain-general memory updating ability predictive of calculation skills or are such skills better predicted by the capacity for updating specifically numerical information? Here, we used multidigit mental multiplication (MMM) as a measure for calculating skill as this operation requires the accurate maintenance and updating of information in addition to skills needed for arithmetic more gene...

The study of type III RNases constitutes an important area in molecular biology. It is known that the pac1 gene encodes a particular RNase III that shares low amino acid similarity with other genes despite having a double-stranded ribonuclease activity. Bioinformatics methods based on sequence alignment may fail when there is a low amino acidic identity percentage between query sequence and oth...

Due to the complexi ty of real-world applications, the number of da tabases and the volumes of da ta in databases have increased tremendously. With the explosive growth in the amount and complexity of data, how to effectively organize the databases and utilize the huge amount of da ta becomes important . For this purpose, a probabilistic network tha t organizes a network of databases and manage...

Recent observations have underscored the biologic relevance of intratumoral angiogenesis and its potential impact on prognosis. Increased bone marrow angiogenesis has been demonstrated in a variety of hematologic disorders, including multiple myeloma. The extent and prognostic significance of bone marrow angiogenesis in 114 patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) was investiga...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the performance of human subjects, using a prototype robotic micromanipulator controller in a simulated, microlaryngeal operative setting. STUDY DESIGN Observational cross-sectional study. METHODS Twenty-two human subjects with varying degrees of laser experience performed CO2 laser surgical tasks within a simulated microlaryngeal operative setting using an...

The relationship between stock return volatility and trading volume is analysed by using the modified mixture model (MMM) framework proposed by Andersen (1996). This theory postulates that price changes and volumes are driven by a common latent information process, which is commonly interpreted as the volatility. Using GMM estimation Andersen finds that the persistence in this latent process fa...

Mixed matrix membranes (MMM) based on chitosan (CS) and poly (vinyl) alcohol (PVA) with a 50:50 w/w ratio doped with graphene oxide (GO) are prepared by solution casting and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water uptake, alcohol permeability, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and OH ́ conductivity measurements. The SEM anal...
