Working relations between the Pan- American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and Brazilian health institutions accumulated a long history of cooperation with mutual benefits, which in many cases were shared with other nations under various cooperation frameworks among countries for health development. A milestone in this relationship is the technical cooperation provided...

The physiological, biochemical and functional differences between oxidative and glycolytic muscles play important roles in human metabolic health and in animal meat quality. To explore these differences, we determined the genome-wide landscape of DNA methylomes and their relationship with the mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes of the oxidative muscle psoas major (PMM) and the glycolytic muscle longi...

Paromomycin (PMM) has recently been introduced for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis in India. Although no clinical resistance has yet been reported, proactive vigilance should be warranted. The present in vitro study compared the outcome and stability of experimental PMM-resistance induction on promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes. Cloned antimony-resistant L. donovani field isolates ...

In this document, we describe two strategies of distribution of computations that can be used to implement parallel solvers for dense linear algebra problems for Heterogeneous Computational Clusters of Multicore Processors (HCoMs). These strategies are called Heterogeneous Process Distribution Strategy (HPS) and Heterogeneous Data Distribution Strategy (HDS). They are not novel and have already...

The cheapest platforms for parallel processing are Networks of Workstations (NOWs) equipped with oo-the-shelf communication hardware and high-end Personal Computers running an operating system with networking capabilities. However standard network protocols and mechanisms cannot deliver a satisfactory amount of the raw communication performance to the application level. The Genoa Active Message...

Potato Micropropagation Medium (PMM) is the growth medium used for in vitro micropropagation of potato tubers. The present study was intended to assess the effect of biofield energy treatment on the physical, thermal and spectroscopic properties of PMM. The study was attained in two groups i.e. control and treated. The control group was remained as untreated, while the treated group was receive...

A major computational challenge in analyzing metagenomics sequencing reads is to identify unknown sources of massive and heterogeneous short DNA reads. A promising approach is to efficiently and sufficiently extract and exploit sequence features, i.e., k-mers, to bin the reads according to their sources. Shorter k-mers may capture base composition information while longer k-mers may represent r...

Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS) was measured for one-monolayer coronene films deposited on Ag(111). The (kx ,ky )-dependent photoelectron momentum maps (PMMs), which were extracted from the ARUPS data by cuts at fixed binding energies, show finely structured patterns for the highest and the second-highest occupied molecular orbitals. While the substructure of the P...

A mobile agent is a promising area in distributed systems. It is a new technology for computers to communicate. Despite the multiple benefits of the mobile agent, but there are several obstacles to its spread. The mobile agent protection is one of these obstacles. In this paper a new mechanism has been proposed to protect mobile. The mechanism is called Partial-Mobility Mechanism (PMM). The mai...
