Strain CPCC 100056(T), which was isolated from a soil sample collected from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The organism was coccobacillus-shaped, non-motile and formed vinaceous colonies on ISP2 agar medium. The respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The major fatty acids were C(18:1)omega7c and C(16:1)omega7c and/or C(16:1)omega6c. The G+C cont...

BACKGROUND Decisions on local and systemic wound treatment vary among surgeons and are frequently based on expert opinion. The aim of this meta-review was to compile best available evidence from systematic reviews in order to formulate conclusions to support evidence-based decisions in clinical practice. METHODS All Cochrane systematic reviews (CSRs), published by the Cochrane Wounds and Peri...

The aims of the present study were to assess dietary intake of saccharides in middle-aged adults, and to determine whether intakes of these sugar nutrients were related to self-reported memory performance. A population-based sample of 1183 men and women (aged 40-60 years) completed questionnaires assessing everyday memory function. Dietary intake status of saccharides was estimated using a self...

In this thesis a method for the automated identification of tree species from images of leaves, needles and bark is presented. In contrast to the current state of the art for the identification from leaf images, no segmentation of the leaves is necessary. Furthermore the proposed method is able to handle damaged and overlapping leaves. This is done by extracting keypoints in the image which all...

Accumulating research suggests that heparanase may be a universal tumor-associated antigen (TAA). Several heparanase T-cell epitopes from humans and mice have already been identified. However, because of low immunogenicity, polypeptide vaccines usually have difficulty inducing effective antitumor immune responses in vivo. In this study, to increase the immunogenicity of polypeptide vaccines, we...

A gram-negative coccobacillus was isolated from the lower respiratory tract of a cat with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The isolate required CO2 and V factor for growth and was initially identified as Haemophilus paraphrophilus on the basis of its nutritional requirements, colony morphology, and some biochemical tests. Because of the host specificity of Haemophilus species and discrepa...
