Eristalis tenax, belonging to order Diptera, family Syrphidae seldomly causes intestinal myiasis. Intestinal myiasis caused by E. tenax larvae is a rare manifestation found in both humans and other vertebrate animals. We report a 22-year-old woman presented with this myiasis. The larva in her stool sample was identified as E. tenax related to its typical morphology and authentic clues. Lack of ...

Le présent article analyse la crédibilité à reconnaître aux alliances que le roi Crésus de Lydie aurait conclues avec Amasis d’Égypte d’une part et Babylone d’autre part. Par même occasion seront étudiées les relations diplomatiques établies par Cyrénéens Polycrate Samos ainsi rapports qui unissaient l’Égypte. De même, cette étude se penchera sur liens tissés contemporain Crésus, afin mieux dég...

A kind of new multi-layer adsorbent including Tenax TA/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/Carboxen 564 was developed for collecting volatile organic compounds. The adsorption and desorption efficiencies of 11 kinds of adsorbents (including Activated charcoal, Tenax TA, Carboxen 564, Chromosorb 101, Chromosorb 102, Chromosorb 103, Chromosorb 105, Porapak Q, GDX 301, XAD-2, and MWCNTs) were c...

On-line news sources provide a large and comprehensive corpus of world events and news entities. The Lydia project (www.textmap.com) analyzes over a thousand on-line newspapers every day to discover news trends, sentiments, and geographic biases. The aim of the project is to deliver news analysis on a scale of content that would be impossible for a person to read, and to mine the data to discov...

Phormium tenax is a kind of drought resistant garden plant with its rich and colorful leaves. To clarify the molecular mechanism of drought resistance in Phormium tenax, transcriptome was sequenced by the Illumina sequencing technology under normal and drought stress, respectively. A large number of contigs, transcripts and unigenes were obtained. Among them, only 30,814 unigenes were annotated...

The hyperthermophilic, facultatively heterotrophic crenarchaeum Thermoproteus tenax was analyzed using a low-coverage shotgun-sequencing approach. A total of 1.81 Mbp (representing 98.5% of the total genome), with an average gap size of 100 bp and 5.3-fold coverage, are reported, giving insights into the genome of T. tenax. Genome analysis and biochemical studies enabled us to reconstruct its c...

Lydia is a framework for Model-Based Diagnosis (MBD). We have used the Safari diagnostic reasoner (part of Lydia) to solve the synthetic track problems in the DXC’09 diagnostic challenge. In this paper we describe our approach.
