Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T (=KCTC 42708T=DSM 101732T), a halophilic marine bacterium, was isolated from seawater collected from Desaru beach, Malaysia. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of D-24T with a genome size of approximately 3.1Mbp and G+C content of 39.93%. The genome of D-24T contains genes involved in reducing a potent greenhouse gas (N2O) in the environment and the degrada...

The majority of people with dementia worldwide live in developing countries. Studies from the developed world have reported an association between lower educational attainment and dementia, but there are few data from the developing world where literacy and educational levels are frequently much lower. In this study we assessed the association between education and dementia prevalence in a rura...

BACKGROUND Among the oligosaccharides that may positively affect the gut microbiota, xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) possess promising functional properties. Ingestion of XOS has been reported to contribute to anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, immune-modulatory and anti-diabetic activities. Because of the structural complexity and chemical heterogeneity, complet...

This study proposes a dependency structure matrix driven genetic algorithm (DSMDGA) which utilizes the dependency structure matrix (DSM) clustering to extract building block (BB) information and use the information to accomplish BB-wise crossover. Three cases: tight, loose, and random linkage, are tested on both a DSMDGA and a simple genetic algorithm (SGA). Experiments showed that the DSMDGA i...

BACKGROUND This study compares the DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for eating disorders. DSM-IV resulted in a large number of patients being diagnosed with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). In DSM-5 the residual category is renamed Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) and Unspecified Eating Disorders (UFED) however the diagnostic criteria for the residual cat...

This paper describes a new firstand second-order delta-sigma modulator concept where the first integrator is extracted and implemented by a frequency modulator with the modulating signal as the input. The result is a simple delta-sigma modulator with no need for digital-to-analog converters, allowing straight-forward multi-bit quantization. Without the frequency modulator, the circuit becomes a...
