Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are multiprotein molecular devices used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to translocate effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. A T3SS is also used for protein export in flagellar assembly, which promotes bacterial motility. The two systems are evolutionarily related, possessing highly conserved components in their export apparatuses. Enteropathogeni...

The paper describes an ontology of enterprise software components (ESCO). Its purpose is to reduce the conceptual gap between component specifications and their corresponding business descriptions, i.e., business processes and business entities. To this end, the different types of enterprise components and their semantic relationships are analyzed. The ontology axioms are formally expressed in ...

The secondary circulation in a predominantly well-mixed estuarine tidal inlet is examined with three-dimensional numerical simulations of the currents and density field German Bight. Simulations analyze two complete neap spring cycles, inspired by cross-section measurements inlet, focus on subtidal time scales. study scrutinizes lateral momentum balance quantifies individual forces that drive r...

The aim of this study is twofold: (i) At first, the authors would like to analyze the financial reliability of Energy Service Companies (ESCO) industry in Italy by using the Z” score model by Altman et al. (1995) and (ii) secondly, observing the trend of Z’’ values from the year 2010 to the year 2014, they would try to connect these changes to specific business behaviors. An empirical research ...

Energy performance contracting (EPC) is the best solution for an educational building to implement energy conservation measures (ECMs) because of its high capital expenditure and operational needed retrofit maintenance. It also considered a win–win mechanism organising efficiency projects. aims assist buildings in acquiring new high-efficiency equipment maximising use reduction, as guaranteed b...

The profits of the ESCO (Energy Services Company) and EU (Energy Using Organization) in the EPCP (energy performance contracting project) rely on the signing of the shared savings contract and the successful operation of the project, and the probability of the project’s success is decided by the complementary efforts of the ESCO and EU. However, the effort selection of the two sides face the bi...
