UNLABELLED Capnocytophaga canimorsus is known to form two kinds of cells on blood agar plates (coccoid and bacillary), evoking phase variation. When grown in coculture with animal cells these bacteria appeared only as bacilli, but in the presence of vancomycin they were round, indicating that coccoid shapes likely result from weakening of the peptidoglycan layer. Polysaccharide utilization locu...

BACKGROUND Many studies have investigated racial/ethnic disparities in medication non-adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes using common measures such as medication possession ratio (MPR) or gaps between refills. All these measures including MPR are quasi-continuous and bounded and their distribution is usually skewed. Analysis of such measures using traditional regression methods that mod...

Biodiversity provides humans with abundant natural resources, but due to human activities, land use has become one of the main factors determining loss biodiversity. Previous research shown that different effects on species. To illustrate this phenomenon, study used a wide range sets data determine how affects species diversity worldwide, and whether effect depends continent. This mainly uses l...

This research aims to identify the variables that contribute differential viewership of mobile-phone videos on YouTube. To achieve this, a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) is employed examine correlations among various in randomly selected video database. The findings analysis reveal several significant and culturally insightful associations. Notably, subgenres such as melodrama (soap-oper...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter species associated with human infection include Helicobacter pylori, Helicobacter heilmannii and Helicobacter felis among others. In this study we determined the prevalence of H. pylori and non-Helicobacter pylori organisms H. felis and H. heilmannii and analyzed the association between coinfection with these organisms and gastric pathology in patients presenting with dy...

This paper is a commentary on Pollet et al. (2013), where both the incidence of left-handedness and its effect on outcomes were analyzed. One of the drawbacks is that these analyses were largely cross-sectional with only a small number of fights for any given fighter. Here, we explore the effects of left-handedness on fight outcomes in a small sample of elite UFC fighters with multiple fights f...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to examine associations between school building characteristics, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and health responses using questionnaire data from both school principals and students. METHODS From 334 randomly sampled schools, 4248 sixth grade students from 297 schools participated in a questionnaire. From these schools, 134 principals returned questi...

Bayesian inference for generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) is appealing, but its widespread use has been hampered by the lack of a fast implementation tool and difficulty in specifying prior distributions. In this paper, we conduct an extensive simulation study to evaluate performance INLA estimation hierarchical Poisson regression with overdispersion comparison JAGS Stan while assuming vari...

Urban forest ecosystems, the structure, and functions therein are subjected to anthropogenic disturbances. Native sensitive species from those forests might be lost due such At same time, supplemented resources create opportunities for exotic invasive species. Although considered one of major threats urban biodiversity research on invasion dynamics in Himalayas has primarily focused impacts str...
