Dengue virus infection is considered significant in terms of morbidity, mortality and economic cost associated with it an estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever occurring throughout the world yearly....

BACKGROUND The results of some epidemiologic studies conducted by using questionnaires suggest that dietary fat composition influences diabetes risk. Confirmation of this finding with use of a biomarker is warranted. OBJECTIVE We prospectively investigated the relation of plasma cholesterol ester (CE) and phospholipid (PL) fatty acid composition with the incidence of diabetes mellitus. DESI...

Full-length cDNA and genomic DNA encoding an 8-kDa subunit of antigen B from Echinococcus multilocularis (designated EmAgB8/1) were isolated from an E. multilocularis metacestode cDNA library and a protoscolex genomic DNA library, respectively. The open reading frame of the cDNA clone encodes a polypeptide comprising 85 amino acids with a 20-amino-acid NH(2)-terminal signal sequence, which was ...

Increasing performances by decreasing data transfer times is one of the main challenges of Grid Computing. In order to achieve such a goal, we propose in this paper a data persistency management service for the ASP (Application Service Provider) DIET metacomputing environment. Instead of multiple transmissions of the same data from a client to a server, data persistency allows to keep data insi...

Résumé. Ce papier présente une nouvelle approche de cartographie des connaissances stratégique/métiers guidée par apprentissage automatique en vue de définir la stratégie de gestion des connaissances à engager. La démarche que nous avons expérimentée s’appuie sur une nouvelle méthode cellulaire d’extraction de règles à partir des données nommée CASI (Cellular Automaton for Symbolic Induction). ...
