Assuming that the various phage types of Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) are largely equally virulent, the importance of certain foods as sources of infection for human salmonellosis can be deduced from differences in the distribution of phage types in human and non-human samples. In 2002, S. Enteritidis phage type 29 (PT29) was first isolated from non-human test samples in Austria. S. ...

GTI-simplex is a new methodology that combines the generalized topological indices and the down hill simplex optimization procedure to search for optimized quantitative structure-property relationship models (Chem. Phys. Lett. 2005, 410, 343). In this study, the fundamental role of the graph topological distance inducing a local shell structure on vertexes and a detailed derivation of the GTI-d...

In this work, a high-speed imaging platform and a resistive force theory (RFT) based model were applied to investigate multi-flagellated propulsion, using Tritrichomonas foetus as an example. We discovered that T. foetus has distinct flagellar beating motions for linear swimming and turning, similar to the 'run and tumble' strategies observed in bacteria and Chlamydomonas. Quantitative analysis...
