BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to investigate the possible etiology of avian colibacillosis by examining Escherichia coli isolates from fecal samples of healthy broilers. FINDINGS Seventy-eight E. coli isolates from fecal samples of healthy broilers in Japan were subjected to analysis of phylogenetic background, virulence-associated gene profiling, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), and...

surge is one of the two destructive factors in compressors. surge is the stream instability phenomenon in compressor that imposes severe damages to the compressors. nowadays, suppressingsurge phenomenon is one of the most important issues in oil and gas industries, especially when flow reduction or gas reflux is considered. according to moore-greitzer compressor model, this paper designs an act...

Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) are responsible for the endocytosis of multiple cargo, including synaptic vesicle membranes. We now describe a new CCV protein, termed connecdenn, that contains an N-terminal DENN (differentially expressed in neoplastic versus normal cells) domain, a poorly characterized protein module found in multiple proteins of unrelated function and a C-terminal peptide moti...

A deeper understanding of the physical nature cycle-to-cycle variations (CCV) in internal combustion engines (ICE) as well reliable simulation strategies to predict these CCV are indispensable for development modern highly efficient engines. Since process ICE strongly depends on turbulent flow field cylinder and, spark-ignited engines, especially around spark plug, prediction using computationa...

In the past few years, main research efforts regarding General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-compliant data sharing have been focused primarily on informed consent (one of six GDPR lawful bases for processing). cases such as Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) sharing, when might not be enough, many small medium enterprises (SMEs) still depend contracts—a basis that is...

AAindex is a database of numerical indices representing various physicochemical and biochemical properties of amino acids and pairs of amino acids. We have added a collection of protein contact potentials to the AAindex as a new section. Accordingly AAindex consists of three sections now: AAindex1 for the amino acid index of 20 numerical values, AAindex2 for the amino acid substitution matrix a...
