Numerous mobile genetic elements (MGE) are associated with the human gut microbiota and collectively referred to as the gut mobile metagenome. The role of this flexible gene pool in development and functioning of the gut microbial community remains largely unexplored, yet recent evidence suggests that at least some MGE comprising this fraction of the gut microbiome reflect the co-evolution of h...

There is a significant relationship between the intestine length (Y) and total body length (X) for 11 species of freshwater fish (Y = 0.08X1.42). Sufficient variation exists about this relationship to indicate important differences among the species' diets. The diets for each species, ranked on a Trophic Index scale determined from literature data, are negatively rank order correlated with the ...

The generalized Hamming weight played an important role in coding theory. In the study of the wiretap channel of type 11, the generalized Hamming weight was extended to a two-code format. Two . equivalent concepts of the generalized Hamming weight hierarchy and its two-code format, are the inverse dimension/length profile (IDLP) and the inverse relative dimension/length profile (IRDLP), respect...

The paper is devoted to the study of an algorithm for optimization of inhibitory rules relative to the length. Such rules on the right-hand side have a relation "attribute value". The considered algorithm is based on an extension of dynamic programming. After the procedure of optimization relative to length, we obtain a graph (T) which describes all nonredundant inhibitory rules with minimum le...

In the paper, an application of dynamic programming approach to global optimization of exact association rules relative to length is presented. It is an extension of the dynamic programming approach to optimization of decision rules to inconsistent tables. An information system I is transformed into a set of decision tables {If1 , . . . , Ifn+1}. The algorithm constructs, for each decision tabl...

Gut microbiota is formed by ten of trillions of microorganisms with at least 1000 different species of known bacteria. One - third of an individual gut microbiota is common to most people, while two - thirds are specific to him. Growing amount of evidence indicates that gut microbiota characteristics may play an important role in mental dysfunctions. Molecular mimicry between several key neurop...

Demonstration of a size-based influence on relative biomechanical neck length of the femur predicts relatively longer necks for smaller femurs. Fossil hominids through the middle Pleistocene appear to have relatively longer femur necks than expected from this relation, excepting the two small australopithecine females. I t is suggested that this variation results from smaller crania a t birth i...

We describe a new approach for comparing cellular-biological networks and finding conserved regions in two or more such networks. Our distance measure is based on the description length of one network, given the description of the other one, and it is efficiently computable. We employ these distances as inputs for generating phylogenetic trees. Using KEGG's metabolic networks as our starting po...
