Representational difference analysis of cDNA (cDNA RDA) provides a powerful technique for the identification of specific differences between two mRNA populations. The method has previously been used to analyse differential gene expression in eukaryotes, but until now has not been successfully applied to prokaryotes. A strain of Neisseria meningitidis with a deletion of the iron-regulated lactof...

Representational difference analysis (RDA), a subtractive hybridization method that enriches differences between complex genomes, can be used to isolate fragments deleted in tumor genomes. Usually, most of the clones obtained by this approach result from polymorphic fragments. Therefore, identification of homozygously deleted fragments, which can indicate the presence of tumor suppressor loci, ...

Integration of user-generated content with librarycatalogs become more important with the developments in webtechnologies and semantic networks. As a result of thesedevelopments, library catalogs are linked with open data resourceslike the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), DBpedia, andamazon.com with the aim of bibliographic description via UniformResource Ide...

Purpose: Relative dispersion analysis (RDA), a new high pass resolution perimetry (HRP) index, appears to capture a novel aspect of visual field abnormality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of RDA and other HRP indices with the Humphrey perimeter parameters. Methods: Fifty-six eyes were randomly recruited from among patients at the authors’ clinic. Twenty-nine eyes were cl...

Cloud computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm that offers great potential for storing data remotely. Presently, many organizations have reduced the burden of local data storage and maintenance by outsourcing data storage to the cloud. However, integrity and security of the outsourced data continues to be a matter of major concern for data owners due to the lack of control and physical...

Abstract This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory variables that could help predict the negative outcome in cattle affected by gastrointestinal emergencies. A retrospective cohort was carried out using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on data collected from records of hospitalized at Garanhuns Bovine Clinic, UFRPE campus. One hundred twenty-two met inclusion criteria ...

This paper proposed a red deer algorithm (RDA)-based selective harmonic elimination (SHE) method for multilevel inverters (MLIs). To eliminate the desired orders, optimum switching angles of MLI have been calculated using RDA. The applied to 3-phase cascaded H-bridged 11-level inverter. In addition, performance RDA was compared with results methods such as Newton-Raphson (NR) method, LSHADE/EpS...
