Enterococcus faecalis isolates of porcine origin were screened for the presence of a previously identified pathogenicity island (PAI). By using the esp gene as a genetic marker for the presence of this PAI, 9 esp-positive and 10 esp-negative isolates of porcine origin were investigated by use of a designed oligonucleotide array. The results indicated the clustering of esp-positive strains by mu...

The charge density (CD) distribution of an atom is the difference per unit volume between the positive charge of its nucleus and the distribution of the negative charges carried by the electrons that are associated with it. The CDs of the atoms in macromolecules are responsible for their electrostatic potential (ESP) distributions, which can now be visualized using cryo-electron microscopy at h...

RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) is an Internet protocol which is allowing applications reserving network resources. RSVP is used as a general purpose signaling control in the MPLS and Traffic Engineering areas. This paper describes our research on the Extension of RSVP (RFC2961) protocol overhead and applied security authentication by ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) after then check t...

A wide range of biomolecules, including proteins, are excreted and secreted from helminths and contribute to the parasite's successful establishment, survival, and reproduction in an adverse habitat. Excretory and secretory proteins (ESP) are active at the interface between parasite and host and comprise potential targets for intervention. The intestinal nematode Strongyloides spp. exhibits an ...

To assess the salt tolerance mechanism in aromatic plants, a soil pot experiment was conducted on Ocimum sanctum (shyama tulsi). The plants were raised on natural sodic soils having different levels of Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) i.e.,: 4.37 (control), 15.7 (low), 35.6 (medium) and 54.5 (high) ESP levels in complete randomized design. Results indicated that increased in ESP significant...

ARTigo is a gaming platform with two goals: The development of a semantic search engine for art works and a study on art work reception. Even though ARTigo quite successfully achieves its goals, it is so far still deficient at collecting “deep semantics” tags. This article first discusses why this is the case, then proposes two approaches we call “squaring” and “scripting” to collecting deep se...

We consider a binary labelling problem: for some machine learning applications, two types of distinct objects are required to be labeled respectively, before a classifier can be trained. We show that the famous ESP game and variants would not work well on this binary labelling problem. We discuss how to design a new human computation game to solve this problem. It turns out that interesting but...

introdouction:the styloid process(sp) has the potential for calcification and ossification. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different patterns of elongation and calcification of the sp. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 400 digital panoramic radiographs taken for routine dental examination in the dental school of shiraz university were evaluated fo...

In this article, we discuss and empirically examine the importance of embodiment, context, and spatial proximity as they pertain to collaborative interaction and task completion in virtual environments. Specifically, we introduce the embodied social presence (ESP) theory as a framework to account for a higher level of perceptual engagement that users experience as they engage in activity-based ...

Electrical submersible pump (ESP) operation, like many other segments of the oil industry, is recovering from having been drowned in large number of data, the aftermath of information technology revolution, and refocusing on effective utilization of reservoir and production data. This paper presents results of the application of real-time data processing and interpretation in a mature field (Pe...
