To understand intracellular trafficking modulations by live Salmonella, we investigated the characteristics of in vitro fusion between endosomes and phagosomes containing live (LSP) or dead Salmonella (DSP). We observed that fusion of both DSP and LSP were time, temperature and cytosol dependent. GTPgammaS and treatment of the phagosomes with Rab-GDI inhibited fusion, indicating involvement of ...

In striped disk array systems, the independency of disks for prefetching is more important than parallelism under high concurrency of accesses, based on which strip prefetching with low read cost has more ability to improve the performance of RAID. However, it indiscriminately fetching all the involved strips limits its applicability. To solve this problem, we propose a Locality-aware Strip Pre...

The land surface phenology (LSP) start of season (SOS) metric signals the seasonal onset of vegetation activity, including canopy growth and associated increases in land-atmosphere water, energy and carbon (CO2) exchanges influencing weather and climate variability. The vegetation optical depth (VOD) parameter determined from satellite passive microwave remote sensing provides for global LSP mo...

A single day census found that long-stay patients (LSP) numbering 7,307 accounted for about 48% of the total inpatient strength of 15,345 in government mental hospitals in India. A load of 2695 (37%) LSP were in two to five years duration of stay, 2782 (38%) were in five to fifteen years duration of stay, and the remaining 1830 (25%) were staying for more than fifteen years. About 11% of LSP we...

Lipoprotein signal peptidase (lsp) is responsible for cleaving the signal peptide sequence of lipoproteins in gram-positive bacteria. Investigation of the role of Lsp in Streptococcus uberis, a common cause of bovine mastitis, was undertaken using the lipoprotein MtuA (a protein essential for virulence) as a marker. The S. uberis lsp mutant phenotype displayed novel lipoprotein processing. Not ...

First of all the daemon supports the set up of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in the network according to the IP routing tables or by explicitly specifying the hops to be traversed (shortest path LSPs and Explicitly Routed-LSPs respectively). There’s an RSVP API (RAPI), an API to aid developers to build custom applications that interact with the RSVP daemon. There is support for DiffServ allowing ...

This document presents an approach to modify the bandwidth and possibly other parameters of an established CR-LSP (Constraint-based Routed Label Switched Paths) using CR-LDP (Constraint-based Routed Label Distribution Protocol) without service interruption. After a CR-LSP is set up, its bandwidth reservation may need to be changed by the network operator, due to the new requirements for the tra...

Several methods exist for extracting plant phenological information from time series of satellite data. However, there have been only a few successful attempts to temporarily match satellite observations (Land Surface Phenology or LSP) with ground based phenological observations (Ground Phenology or GP). The classical pixel to point matching problem along with the temporal and spatial resolutio...

Observational arguments supporting the binary explanation of the long secondary periods (LSP) phenomenon in red giants are presented. Photometry of about 1200 semiregular variables with the LSP in the Large Magellanic Cloud are analyzed using the MACHO and OGLE photometry. For about 5% of these objects additional ellipsoidal-like or eclipsing-like modulation with the same periods as the LSP is ...
