Clostridium difficile is the commonest cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, with the hospitalized elderly being at particular risk. The organism makes a crystalline surface protein layer (S-layer), encoded by the slpA gene, the product of which is cleaved to give two mature peptides which associate to form the layer. The larger peptide (high molecular weight; HMW), derived from the C-termi...

A new approach to parametric localization of a distributed source is proposed. This method is based 071 the ESPRIT Algorithm. the Central angle and the angular extension of an incoherently distributed source are estimated. This algorithm has a low computational complex­ ity. The method does not require array calibration

Abstract Introduction Sexuality is complex and multifaceted, broadly composed of psychological, physiological, interpersonal, identity, social/political phenomena. The term “sexuality” used inconsistently in the literature, both how it defined by researchers measured.

Background: By lowering LDL cholesterol levels, the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and other serious vascular events can be significantly reduced. In order to prevent cardiovascular illnesses (CVD), mainly disease, LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels must tightly controlled on both a primary secondary level (CHD). Despite fact that patients in prevention experience higher absolute number ather...
