OBJECTIVE Staphylococcus aureus can induce platelet aggregation. The rapidity and degree of this correlates with the severity of disseminated intravascular coagulation, and depends on platelet peptidoglycans. Surface-located thiol isomerases play an important role in platelet activation. The staphylococcal extracellular adherence protein (Eap) functions as an adhesin for host plasma proteins. T...

BACKGROUND Wound infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The staphylococcal extracellular adherence protein (Eap) has been shown to delay wound healing by interfering with host defense and angiogenesis, yet the expression of Eap in the human wound is required to exert these functions. METHODS A protocol was developed to determine eap...

The extracellular adhesion protein (Eap) secreted by the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is known to have several effects on human immunity. We have recently added to knowledge of these roles by demonstrating that Eap enhances interactions between major histocompatibility complex molecules and human leukocytes. Several studies have indicated that Eap can induce cytokine production by...

1 2 The cell surface-associated extracellular adherence protein (Eap) mediates adherence of 3 Staphylococcus aureus to host extracellular matrix components, and inhibits inflammation, 4 wound healing and angiogenesis. A well-characterized collection of S. aureus and non5 S. aureus staphylococcal isolates (n = 813) was tested for the presence of the Eap-encoding 6 gene (eap) by PCR to investigat...

Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. 1. Abstract The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams ove...

In the era of mobile and wireless networks, the growing complexity of end devices and the accentuated tendency towards miniaturization of them raise new security challenges. Authentication is a crucial concern in resource constrained environments, and despite the great number of existing EAP methods, as explained in the article, we are still in need for EAP methods tightly adapted to wireless e...

In diffusion MRI (dMRI) domain, many High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) methods were proposed to estimate Ensemble Average Propagator (EAP) and Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). They normally need many samples, which limits their applications. Some Compressive Sensing (CS) based methods were proposed to estimate ODF in Q-Ball Imaging (QBI) from limited samples. However EAP...

this study was conducted in english for academic purposes (eap) context to explore iranian teachers' perceptions of their pedagogical content knowledge (pck) and their sense of professional identity (pi) as well as to scrutinize how their cognitions were practiced in eap classes. to this end, two elt teachers and two content instructors (i.e. subject experts who teach eap courses in addition to...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) describes a framework that allows the use of multiple authentication mechanisms. This document defines an authentication mechanism for EAP called EAP-EKE, based on the Encrypted Key Exchange (EKE) protocol. This method provides mutual authentication through the use of a short, easy to remember password. Compared with other common authentication metho...
