This report describes the draft genome sequences of two strains, Pseudoalteromonas telluritireducens DSM 16098 and P. spiralis DSM 16099, which were isolated from hydrothermal vents of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The reads generated by an Ion Torrent PGM were assembled into contigs with total sizes of 4.4 Mb and 4.1 Mb for DSM 16098 and DSM 16099, respectively.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is among the most common causes of liver cirrhosis. We report the full-genome sequences of seven molecular clones of HBV genotype A, amplified from an HBV-infected North Indian patient. This is probably the first report of the HBV genome sequencing using Ion Torrent from India.

I have read with great attention the comments sent by Paul Lunkenheimer, Klaus Redmann and Robert Anderson, on my Letter ‘Ventricular myocardial band and Ross operation’ [1]. Despite I have repeatedly analyzed their comments, the only argument with some connection with the text of my letter was referring my final comment ‘the new concepts on cardiac anatomy and physiology proposed by Dr Francis...

In this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) videoapplications. The proposed RCA provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.By controlling the quantization parameter (QP) on a picturebasis, it produces VBR video bit streams. The proposed RCAhas been implemented on the JM H.264/AVC video codec andth...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a prominent paradigm that is considered to continue its dominance in thecomputation at deep sub-micron regime in nanotechnology. The QCA realizations of five-input Majority Voter based multilevel parity generator circuits have been introduced in recent years. However, no attention has been paid towards the QCA instantiation of the generic (n-bit) even and ...
