Composting is a realistic option for disposal of olive mill pomace (OMP) by making it suitable as a soil amendment for organic farming. The chemical and physical characteristics and contribution of particle-size fractions to total nutrients and carbon mineralization of seven commercial composts of OMP (COMP) were investigated. Higher proportions of manure, co-composted with OMP, reduced the org...

Recovering signals that has a sparse representation from a given set of linear measurements has been a major topic of research in recent years. Most of the work dealing with this subject focus on the reconstruction of the signal’s representation as the means to recover the signal itself. This approach forces the dictionary to be of low-coherence and with no linear dependencies between its colum...

Generalized Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (gOMP) is a natural extension of OMP algorithm where unlike OMP, it may select N(≥ 1) atoms in each iteration. In this paper, we demonstrate that gOMP can successfully reconstruct a K-sparse signal from a compressed measurement y = Φx by K iteration if the sensing matrix Φ satisfies restricted isometry property (RIP) of order NK where δNK < √ N √ K+2 √ N ...

In the E. coli periplasm, C-terminal peptides of misfolded outer-membrane porins (OMPs) bind to the PDZ domains of the trimeric DegS protease, triggering cleavage of a transmembrane regulator and transcriptional activation of stress genes. We show that an active-site DegS mutation partially bypasses the requirement for peptide activation and acts synergistically with mutations that disrupt cont...

Olfactory marker protein (OMP) genomic clones were isolated from a Charon 4A phage lambda rat genomic library. A 16.5-kilobase (kb) fragment of the rat genome containing the gene was isolated and characterized. Sequence analysis of the gene showed the absence of introns and the lack of CAAT and TATA boxes in the 5' flanking region. The transcription initiation site was mapped, and two sites 55 ...

Complexes containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and three outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are released by gram-negative bacteria incubated in human serum and into the circulation in an experimental model of sepsis. The same OMPs are bound by immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the cross-protective antiserum raised to Escherichia coli J5 (anti-J5 IgG). This study was performed to identify the three OMPs. The...

An efficient energy-saving method is proposed by taking the advantages of lightweight encoder and high compression efficiency of Compressed Sensing, which is extremely suitable for image nodes in Wireless Multi-media Sensor Networks. However, the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) reconstruction algorithms in CS can not balance the reconstruction image quality and processing time. A novel recons...

The swine pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae possesses a 75-kDa outer membrane protein (OMP), FhuA, the receptor for ferrichrome, a hydroxamate-type siderophore. Polyclonal serum to FhuA reacted with OMP preparations from 12 serotypes of A. pleuropneumoniae under conditions of iron repletion and restriction. Reverse transcription-PCR confirmed that A. pleuropneumoniae fhuA expression is n...

This paper provides a simple proof of the mutual incoherence condition (μ < 1 2K−1 ) under which K-sparse signal can be accurately reconstructed from a small number of linear measurements using the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Our proof, based on mathematical induction, is built on an observation that the general step of the OMP process is in essence same as the initial step sin...
