Streptococcus pneumoniae is a frequent cause of potentially life-threatening infections, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia (14). However, the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance in S. pneumoniae is a serious concern (4). Recent data from 12 Asian countries showed high resistance rates (17, 18). We studied prospective resistance to a large number of antimicrobial agents in p...

Catalogue No.: M-1586-100 Description: The amyloid beta peptide is derived from the cleavage of the Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and varies in length from 39 to 43 amino acids. However, the form(s) of amyloid-beta peptide (Aß) associated with the pathology characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains unclear. In particular, the neurotoxicity of intraneuronal Aß accumulation is an area ...

We address highly dynamic distributed systems modeled by time-varying graphs (TVGs). We interest in proof of impossibility results that often use informal arguments about convergence. First, we provide a distance among TVGs to define correctly the convergence of TVG sequences. Next, we provide a general framework that formally proves the convergence of the sequence of executions of any determin...

One of the most interesting scientific challenges nowadays deals with the analysis and the understanding of complex networks’ dynamics and how their processes lead to emergence according to the interactions among their components. In this paper we approach the definition of new methodologies for the visualization and the exploration of the dynamics at play in real dynamic social networks. We pr...

The past few years have seen intensive research efforts carried out in some apparently unrelated areas of dynamic systems – delay-tolerant networks, opportunistic-mobility networks, social networks – obtaining closely related insights. Indeed, the concepts discovered in these investigations can be viewed as parts of the same conceptual universe; and the formal models proposed so far to express ...
