Pathogenicity islands are sets of successive genes in a genome that determine the virulence of a bacterium. In a growing number of studies, bacterial virulence appears to be determined by multiple islands scattered along the genome. This is the case in a family of seven plant pathogens and a human pathogen that, under KdgR regulation, massively secrete enzymes such as pectinases that degrade pl...

Here, we report intermediate follow-up details after using a technique of confluent posterior left atrial wall epicardial ablation designed to eliminate both existing and future atrial fibrillation (AF) substrates. The method is part of the Convergent hybrid procedure for AF ablation. In this study, multiple confluent epicardial ablations with radiofrequency energy were delivered, spanning the ...

The explosive viscous liquid becomes inject to warhead by discharge system. The injection device is consisted of a piston to move down and leads the viscous fluid through the cylindrical pipe towards the end of the duct. Then the viscous fluid leads into a convergent path that will be injected to the warhead or other injection equipment. In this project, the path of viscous fluid flow is divide...

Convergent/divergent channels have real-world applications including the production of fibers and glass, fabrication plastic sheets, manipulation molten metal streams, industrial casting metal. This article intends to discuss flow thermal transport mixture nanoparticles, namely, copper molybdenum oxide in a base fluid (water) over wedge-shaped channel. The dissipation effects are taken into acc...

in this paper we introduce strongly $left[  v_{2},lambda_{2},m,pright]-$summable double vsequence spaces via orlicz function and examine someproperties of the resulting these spaces. also we give natural relationshipbetween these spaces and $s_{lambda_{2}}-$statistical convergence.

The noncanonical wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway [1] regulates the mediolaterally (planarly) polarized cell protrusive activity and intercalation that drives the convergent extension movements of vertebrate gastrulation [2], yet the underlying mechanism is unknown. We report that perturbing expression of Xenopus PCP genes, Strabismus (Xstbm), Frizzled (Xfz7), and Prickle (Xpk), disrupts ...

Noxious stimuli in the esophagus cause pain that is referred to the anterior chest wall because of convergence of visceral and somatic afferents within the spinal cord. We sought to characterize the neurophysiological responses of these convergent spinal pain pathways in humans by studying 12 healthy subjects over three visits (V1, V2, and V3). Esophageal pain thresholds (Eso-PT) were assessed ...

A method based on microjets is implemented to control the flow properties in a convergent-divergent nozzle undergoing sudden expansion. Three different variants of this active technique are explored numerically by means finite-volume for compressible fluid flow: with first one, at base, second wall, while third one may be regarded as combination other two variants. When jets over-expanded, not ...

‎in this paper we study the existence of fixed points for mappings defined on complete metric spaces‎, ‎satisfying a general contractive inequality depending on two additional mappings‎.
