Enterobacter sakazakii represents a significant risk to the health of neonates. This bacterium is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that is associated with rare but life-threatening cases of meningitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and sepsis in premature and full-term infants. Infants aged <28 days are considered to be most at risk. Feeding with powdered infant formula (PIF) has been epidemiolo...

Functional analysis of human papillomavirus type 16 E7 protein by complementation with adenovirus E1A mutants in baby rat kidney cells has shown that the retinoblastoma gene product (RB)-binding region of E7 can substitute in trans for that of E1A. An N-terminal E7 mutant was unable to complement an E1A mutant unable to bind p300, indicating that the two mutants were defective for functionally ...

We constructed a product network based on the sales data collected and provided by a Fortune 500 Specialty Retailer. The structure of the network is dominated by small isolated components, dense cliquebased communities, and sparse stars and linear chains and pendants. We used the identified structural elements (tiles) to organize products into mini-categories—compact collections of potentially ...

Software stakeholders, testers and end-users find it very difficult to express the real requirements. It is almost impossible to predict how a system will affect end product, how the software will interact with other existing systems and what user operations should be automated. Careful requirements analysis along with systematic reviews of the requirements help to reduce the uncertainty about ...
