background and objectives: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in human, and uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) strains are the most common cause of uti. these strains colonize in bladder and cause cystitis, which could cause pyelonephritis by movement to the kidneys. since fimh protein has a very important role in colonization of upec strains and causing infec...

An integral domain $D$ is called a emph{locally GCD domain} if $D_{M}$ is aGCD domain for every maximal ideal $M$ of $D$. We study somering-theoretic properties of locally GCD domains. E.g., we show that $%D$ is a locally GCD domain if and only if $aDcap bD$ is locally principalfor all $0neq a,bin D$, and flat overrings of a locally GCD domain arelocally GCD. We also show that the t-class group...

introduction: acinetobacter baumannii is associated with hospital-acquired infections. outer membrane protein a of a.baumannii (abompa) is a well-characterized virulence factor which has important roles in pathogenesis of this bacterium. methods: based on our pcr-sequencing of ompa gene in the clinical isolates, abompa protein can be categorized into two types, named here type-1 and type-2. we ...

Quality-of-service and SLA guarantees are among the major challenges of cloud-based services. In this paper we first present a new cloud model called SLAaaS – SLA aware Service. SLAaaS considers QoS levels and SLA as first class citizens of cloud-based services. This model is orthogonal to other SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS cloud models, and may apply to any of them. More specifically we make three con...

this research aims to compare the capabilities of a thesaurus and an ontology for representation of domain knowledge. this is the first to focus on the construction of an ontology in library and information science (lis), in the domain of indexing and in persian language. the research also develops the methodology of ontology construction by implementing domain analysis methodology. the present...

these days, promotion of farmers' technical-scientific abilities in agriculture is one of the main challenges in this sector. agricultural extension as a motivate power source in agricultural development can be more effective in solving these problems via acceptance of responsibility in the educational concepts. but it faces numerous obstacles because of absence of a proper informational s...

Most of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) suffers from security related and overhead problems. During the inter domain routing, the conventional protocols require each gateway to resend its routing table periodically to all its neighbors thus increasing the delay. Since VPNs carry sensitive information over an insecure network, the traffic in this network has to be transmitted reliably and secu...
