We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella massiliensis strain LegA(T), recovered from a cooling tower water sample, using an amoebal coculture procedure. The strain described here is composed of 4,387,007 bp, with a G+C content of 41.19%, and its genome has 3,767 protein-coding genes and 60 predicted RNA genes.

Three glutamic-acid-producing coryneform strains were isolated from soil and vegetable samples. Chemotaxonomic investigations indicated that these strains belonged to the genus Corynebacterium. Phylogenetic studies, based on 16S rDNA analysis, demonstrated that the three strains formed a distinct cluster within the genus Corynebacterium and that their nearest relatives were Corynebacterium glut...

The genome of HAdV-B14p1 strain BJ430, isolated from a six-month-old baby diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia at the Beijing Children's Hospital in December 2010, was sequenced, analyzed, and compared with reference adenovirus genome sequences archived in GenBank. This genome is 34,762 bp in length, remarkably presenting 99.9% identity with the genome from HAdV14p1 strain 303600, which was isola...

Natural scenes contain a rich variety of contours that the visual system extracts to segregate the retinal image into perceptually coherent regions. Covert spatial attention helps extract contours by enhancing contrast sensitivity for 1st-order, luminance-defined patterns at attended locations, while reducing sensitivity at unattended locations, relative to neutral attention allocation. However...

specialist interested in working up a medical finding in a patient; however, given its objectives, this text may lack the detail that an internal medicine resident might require. Another valuable characteristic of this text is that it emphasizes selecting procedures based on their yield and cost, an aspect of medicine that is not emphasized in traditional medical education. This volume represen...

This is a relatively brief yet comprehensive account of the origins and early development of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The volume is unmistakably the result of extensive research conducted over a number of years, as evidenced by its great detail, painstaking referencing, and historical accuaracy. Its historical and scientific value is complemented by its being absorbing and enjoy...

Before the first edition of Field Epidemiology was published in 1996, no single authoritative textbook or manual existed for public health epidemiologists engaged in active field investigation and outbreak control. Those needing preparation or guidance in responding to acute problems in the community (infectious or noninfectious) were left to read a variety of disparate materials and exercises ...
