Extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) and capsular polysaccharide (CPS) production by Aeromonas salmonicida A450 and the influence of the capsule on cell surface properties were studied. A. salmonicida did not produce CPS or EPS when glucose, phosphate, magnesium chloride, or trace mineral components were absent from the medium. The addition of yeast extract improved capsule production. Neither EP...

We describe the experience with courses that teach the Foundations of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) and methods for ensuring the correctness of CPS designs. CPSs combine cyber effects (computation & communication) with physical effects (motion or other physical processes). CPS represent a paradigm shift that transcends the separation of computer science, which traditionally focuses on computatio...

OBJECTIVE We measured clinicians' level of knowledge and attitudes regarding Department of Defense-mandated clinical preventive services (CPS) delivery and the barriers they believe prevent the delivery of CPS at a large U.S. Air Force referral medical center. METHODS Our survey listed a range of prescribed specific CPS and solicited reasons why providers believed that they could not be deliv...

Comorbid conduct problems (CPs) and depression are observed far more often than expected by chance, which is perplexing given minimal symptom overlap. In this study, relations between parental psychopathology and children's diagnostic status were evaluated to test competing theories of comorbidity. Participants included 180 families with an 8-12-year-old child diagnosed with CPs, depression, bo...

Much attention has been given to the call-by-value continuation passing style (CBV CPS) translation as a tool in partial evaluation, but the call-by-name (CBN) CPS translation has not been investigated. We undertake a systematic investigation of the eeect of CBN CPS in connection with partial evaluation and deforestation. First, we give an example where CBN CPS translation acts as a binding tim...

Carbamoyl phosphate (CP) is an intermediate in pyrimidine and arginine biosynthesis. Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (CPS) contains a small amidotransferase subunit (GLN) that hydrolyzes glutamine and transfers ammonia to the large synthetase subunit (SYN), where CP biosynthesis occurs in the presence of ATP and CO(2). Lactobacillus plantarum, a lactic acid bacterium, harbors a pyrimidine-inhibi...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are service systems that connect physical and cyber elements through global networks. CPS put upon sensors and actuators as well as omnipresent status data of smart products in order to facilitate the design of innovative service offerings. CPS typically require the cooperation of several actors such as manufacturers of smart products and service providers. Organiza...

Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urologic tumor characterized by high risk of recurrence and mortality. Capsaicin (CPS), used as an intravesical drug for overactive bladder, was demonstrated to induce cell death in different cancer cells including BC cells.Here we found that treatment of high-grade BC cells with high dose of CPS triggers autophagy. Infact, the CPS treatment alters the redox home...

For protein structure alignment and comparison, a lot of work has been done using RMSD as the distance measure, which has drawbacks under certain circumstances. Thus, the discrete Fréchet distance was recently applied to the problem of protein (backbone) structure alignment and comparison with promising results. For this problem, visualization is also important since protein chain backbones can...

in this paper we intend to generate some set of optimal trajectories according to the number of control points has been applied for parameterizing those using b-spline curves. the trajectories are used to generate an optimal locomotion gait in a crawling worm-like robot. due to gait design considerations it is desired to minimize the required torques in a cycle of gait. similar to caterpillars,...
