Three major outer membrane proteins with apparent molecular masses of 43, 45, and 51 kDa were purified from Wolinella recta ATCC 33238, and their pore-forming abilities were determined by the black lipid bilayer method. The non-heat-modifiable 45-kDa protein (Omp 45) showed no pore-forming activity even at high KCl concentrations. The single-channel conductances in 1 M KCl of the heat-modifiabl...

We analyzed the possible causes of imipenem (IPM) resistance in multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Comparison of the outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles of two genomically related strains (Ab288 [IPM sensitive] and Ab242 [IPM resistant]) indicated the conspicuous loss of a 29-kDa polypeptide in the Ab242 strain. No carbapenemase activity was detected in any of these stra...

Omapatrilat (OMP) is a novel mixed inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP), the enzyme that metabolizes natriuretic peptides. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is characterized by excessive sodium retention, attributed to both an excessive effect of angiotensin II and diminished responsiveness to natriuretic peptides. In this study, we examined the ac...

Sources of anti-Haemophilus somnus antibody in bovine uterine secretions following intramuscular immunization and subsequent intrauterine inoculation of killed H. somnus were investigated. Holstein cattle (n = 21) were immunized with a 270-kDa outer membrane protein from H. somnus (omp-270) by intramuscular injection. At estrus, the cattle were given an intrauterine inoculum of a heat-killed su...

A new multiprocessor architecture, called orthogonal multiprocessor (OMP), is proposed in this paper. This OMP architecture has a simplified busing structure and partially shared memory, which compares very favorably over fully shared-memory multiprocessors using crossbar switch, multiple buses, or multistage networks. The higher performance comes mainly from significantly increased memory band...

Inference of phylogenetic trees comprising hundreds or even thousands of organisms based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method is computationally extremely intensive. In order to accelerate computations we implemented RAxML-OMP, an efficient OpenMP-parallelization for Symmetric Multi-Processing machines (SMPs) based on the sequential program RAxML-V (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood). R...

This systematic review was conducted by searching English language articles on one-minute preceptor (OMP) through five databases, including Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, Clinical Key and PubMed for the published from 2000 to 2017 using following search term ‘OMP’ in titles abstracts. After employing exclusion criteria, 31 remained detailed analysis. The main outcomes investigated studies we...

We address the exact recovery of the support of a k-sparse vector with Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS) in a noiseless setting. We consider the scenario where OMP/OLS have selected good atoms during the first l iterations (l < k) and derive a new sufficient and worst-case necessary condition for their success in k steps. Our result is based on the coherence μ...

This paper suggests an upside-down tree-based orthogonal matching pursuit UDT-OMP compressive sampling signal reconstruction method in wavelet domain. An upside-down tree for the wavelet coefficients of signal is constructed, and an improved version of orthogonal matching pursuit is presented. The proposed algorithm reconstructs compressive sampling signal by exploiting the upside-down tree str...
