In this paper C denotes a category and o1, o2, o3 denote objects of C. Let C be a non empty category structure with units and let o be an object of C. Observe that 〈o, o〉 is non empty. The following propositions are true: (1) Let v be a morphism from o1 to o2, u be a morphism from o1 to o3, and f be a morphism from o2 to o3. If u = f · v and f −1 · f = id(o2) and 〈o1, o2〉 6= ∅ and 〈o2, o3〉 6= ∅...

OBJECTIVE We identified a poor clinical response to treatment of cholera with a single 1 g dose of ciprofloxacin, a standard treatment for cholera. METHODS To determine reasons for the poor response and better therapeutic approaches we examined the minimal inhibitor concentration (MIC, n = 275) and disc-diffusion zone sizes (n = 205) for ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid of V. cholerae O1 stra...

Recommended by Wee Teck Gan We prove that the ratio of the Newman sum over numbers multiple of a fixed integer, which is not a multiple of 3, and the Newman sum over numbers multiple of a fixed integer divisible by 3 is o1 when the upper limit of summing tends to infinity. We also discuss a connection of our results with a digit conjecture on primes.

This paper describes SODA a novel ontology alignment method for the OWL-DL format. SODA uses a new approach that consists in computing local and semantic similarities among ontological elements. 1 Presentation of the system SODA [1] (Structural Ontology OWL-DL [2] Alignment), is a new approach that aligns two OWL-DL ontologies using similarity measures [3]. Both OWL-DL ontologies are transforme...

The resistance profile and its correlation with mobile genetic elements were investigated in 11 Vibrio cholerae O1 and 2 Vibrio parahaemolyticus clinical isolates, as well as in 1 V. cholerae O1 and 1 V. cholerae non-O1 environmental isolate, isolated between 1991 and 1996 in different provinces of Angola. All clinical isolates of V. cholerae O1 were resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tr...

We use the abbreviation x1:k for x1, . . . , xk, o1:k for o1, . . . ok, h1:k for h1, . . . , hk. The sequence of DDO times up to observation time tk is denoted τ (1, k) = {ti : hi = 1, i = 1, . . . , k}. Forward functions are defined as αtk(u) = P [o1:k, τ (1, k),h1:k, Xk = u] and backward functions as βtk(u) = P[ok+1:n, τ (k + 1, n),hk+1:n|Xk = u]. The forward function is initialized with αt1(...

Ontology matching produces correspondences between entities of two ontologies. The OMReasoner is unique in that it creates an extensible framework for combination of multiple individual matchers, and reasons about ontology matching by using description logic reasoner. It handles ontology matching in semantic level and makes full use of the semantic part of OWL-DL instead of structure. This pape...

The emergence and spread of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor variant strains causing severe diarrhea has been witnessed worldwide in recent years. In the state of Odisha, India, the spread of the V. cholerae O1 El Tor variant strains was studied during outbreaks in 2008 and 2009. Analysis of 194 V. cholerae O1 Ogawa strains revealed that V. cholerae O1 El Tor variant strains are spreading gradually th...

Vibrio cholerae are Gram-negative bacteria that are differentiated into O1/O139 and non-O1/non-O139 serogroups depending on their ability to agglutinate with specific antiserum. In contrast to non-O1/non-0139 Vibrio cholerae, which are more prone to invade the bloodstream, Vibrio cholerae O1 is rarely the cause of bacteremia. We report a case of O1 Vibrio cholera bacteremia and primary peritoni...

To understand the evolutionary events and possible selection mechanisms involved in the emergence of pathogenic Vibrio cholerae, we analyzed diverse strains of V. cholerae isolated from environmental waters in Bangladesh by direct enrichment in the intestines of adult rabbits and by conventional laboratory culture. Strains isolated by conventional culture were mostly (99.2%) negative for the ma...
