BACKGROUND We present an easily applicable test for rapid binary typing of Staphylococcus aureus: binary interspace (IS) typing. This test is a further development of a previously described molecular typing technique that is based on length polymorphisms of the 16S-23S rDNA interspace region of S. aureus. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A novel approach of IS-typing was performed in which bina...

A 2015 NRDC research study revealed that electronic devices consume alarming amounts of energy. To reduce theenergy consumption these devices, this project proposes a novel energy-harvesting keyboard design allows acomputer to charge as the user types on it. The generates electricity via piezoelectric materials. novelkey structure and transducer circuit were proposed integrate piezo materials i...

Abstract The automatization of handwriting and typing is sustained by both sensorimotor linguistic abilities that support the integration central-linguistic processes with modality-specific peripheral-motor programs. How this evolves when and, especially, not fully automatized has been well-understood yet. In present work, we had two main aims: (1) to understand how spelling processing affects ...

Assessing donor/recipient HLA compatibility at the eplet level requires second field DNA typings but these are not always available. These can be estimated from lower‐resolution data either manually or with computational tools currently relying, best, on containing typing ambiguities. We gathered NGS 61,393 individuals in 17 French laboratories, for loci A, B, and C (100% of typings), DRB1 DQB1...

Background: The present study is the first comprehensive report of the Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) in Iran based on the molecular technique for differentiation and typing of the MCV1 and MCV2. Methods: Patients were diagnosed as having tumor-like genital warts less than 5 mm in diameter, and HIV seronegative samples were chosen for this cross-sectional study. TaqMan real-time PCR was used...

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne bacterium that give rise to the potentially life-threatening disease listeriosis. Listeriosis has been mandatorily notifiable in Norway since 1991. All clinical L. isolates are sent Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) for typing. Since 2005 Multi-Locus Variable number tandem repeats Analysis (MLVA) used typing but was recently replaced by whole gen...
