The main purpose of this paper is to study some relevant applications of the results on bialgebras of type one obtained in [AM1] in the framework of abelian braided monoidal categories. Let H be a braided bialgebra in a cocomplete and complete abelian braided monoidal category (M, c) satisfying AB5. Assume that the tensor product commutes with direct sums and is twosided exact. Let M be in HM H...

genesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and severe systemic complications following enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infection in humans. Stxs have an AB5 structure, in which a single catalytic A subunit is associated with five identical B subunits. The B pentamer is responsible for the toxin binding to eukaryotic cell-surface glycolipid receptors such as galabiosyl (Gb2)-ceramide a...

The Web of Data (WOD) is complex, and inherently messy, contextualised, opinionated, in short: it is a market-place of ideas, rather than a database. Logic-based semantics were not developed, and are not suitable, for such complex systems. A radically new approach to semantics is required. We introduce pragmatic semantics as a new semantic paradigm integrating elements from market-theory and cl...

In situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies were done on three metal hydride electrodes, LaNi~, LaNi~.sSns.2, La0.sCe02Ni48Sn0.2, in 6M KOH. Ex situ measurements were also made on dry uncycled electrodes and on material from an La0.sCe0.2Ni48Sn0.2 electrode that had been cycled 25 times. Comparison of the in situ XAS at the Ni K and at the La L3 edge of charged and discharged electrodes...

This review focuses on typical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening sequela of human infections caused, particularly in children, by Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli strains. Thrombotic microangiopathy the brain and kidney is end point toxin action, resulting hallmarks HUS (ie, thrombocytopenia, anemia, acute renal failure). A growing body evidence points to role extracellu...

Objectives: To analyze the frequency of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antibodies in patients with various inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS and to determine their clinical correlates. Methods: Retrospective case-control study from 2005 to 2014 with the detection of serum IgG antibodies to NMDAR, aquaporin-4, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein by recombinant live cell-based immunofluor...

The introduction of adenovirus 5 EJA into the SKOV3ip1 ovarian cancer cell line was shown previously to suppress HER2/neu expression and reduce the malignant potential of these cells (Vu et a!., Cancer Res., 53: 891-898, 1993). In this report, we show that reduction of p185 in cells stably expressing E1A protein was coincident with increased sensitivity to cytotoxic agents. The LD50 of cisplati...
