The obligate intracellular parasite Neospora caninum disseminates across the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, to reach sites where it causes severe pathology or establishes chronic persistent infections. The mechanisms used by N. caninum to breach restrictive biological barriers remain elusive. To examine the cellular basis of these processes, migration of different N. caninum isolates (Nc...

We show that the product of n 3 3 matrices of n-bit integers can be computed in P -uniform FNC1. Since this problem is complete [BOC92] for formul in f+; g on n-bit integers, we conclude that \algebraic NC1" on integers is equal to the usual Boolean notion of NC1 functions.

Neospora caninum is one of the most significant parasitic organisms causing bovine abortion worldwide. Despite the economic impact of this infection, relatively little is known about the genetic diversity of this parasite. In this study, using Nc5 and ITS1 nested PCR, N. caninum has been detected in 12 brain samples of aborted fetuses from 298 seropositive dairy cattle collected from four diffe...

the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...

discussion: establishing the etiology, using the evidence–based strategies to improve hirsutism, and treating the underlying disorder, are essential for proper management of women with hirsutism. case presentation: the case was a 17-year-old female with severe hirsutism, oligomenorrhea, and obesity. she was evaluated to identify the etiology and diagnosed as a case of polycystic ovarian syndrom...
