Legionella pneumophila is the predominant cause of Legionnaires' disease in the United States and Europe, while Legionella longbeachae is the common cause of the disease in Western Australia. Although clinical manifestations by both intracellular pathogens are very similar, recent studies have shown that phagosome biogeneses of both species within human macrophages are distinct (R. Asare and Y....

Salmon melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic heptadecapeptide. MCH stimulates perinuclear aggregation of melanosomes within integumental melanocytes of teleost fishes resulting in skin blanching. MCH contains a disulfide bridge forming a 10-residue ring [sequence: see text]. It has been proposed that the ring is necessary for maintenance of potency. In order to test this proposal, we ...

A recent bivariate factorisation algorithm appeared in (Abu-Salem et al., 2004) based on the use of Newton polytopes and a generalisation of Hensel lifting. Although possessing a worst case exponential running time like the Hensel lifting algorithm, the polytope method should perform well for sparse polynomials whose Newton polytopes have very few Minkowski decompositions. A preliminary impleme...
