Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a sequence-based genotyping method based on polymorphisms (each variant is termed an allele) in seven housekeeping genes (loci) (arcC, aroE, glpF, gmk, pta, tpi, and yqiL) in Staphylococcus aureus providing unique allelic profiles known as sequence types (STs) (1). The data obtained by MLST are highly reproducible and are available in the S. aureus MLST data...

A new approach is presented for the solution of spectral problems on infinite domains with regular ends, which avoids the need to solve boundary value problems for many trial values of the spectral parameter. We present numerical results both for eigenvalues and for resonances, comparing with results reported by Aslanyan, Parnovski and Vassiliev [Q. J. Mech. Appl. Math. 53 (2000), 429–447].

OBJECTIVE This study aims to profile dysregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to identify key regulatory miRNAs in ccRCC. METHODS AND RESULTS miRNA expression profiles in nine pairs of ccRCC tumor samples at three different stages and the adjacent, non-tumorous tissues were investigated using miRNA arrays. Eleven miRNAs were identified to be comm...

The compound (1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane)(transdiacetato)(dichloro)platinum(IV) (DACH-acetato-Pt) is a novel platinum-based antitumor agent with clinical potential against cisplatin-resistant disease that is under development in our laboratory. In view of the central role of the wild-type p53 tumor suppressor gene in drug-induced apoptosis, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and DACH-acet...

In this paper, we study the approximability properties of symmetric TSP under an approximation measure called the differential ratio. More precisely, we improve up to 3/4 − ε (for any ε > 0) the best differential ratio of 2/3 known so far, given in Hassin and Khuller, “z-Approximations”, J. of Algorithms, 41(2), 429-442, 2001.
