The exosporium-defective phenotype of a transposon insertion mutant of Bacillus cereus implicated ExsY, a homologue of B. subtilis cysteine-rich spore coat proteins CotY and CotZ, in assembly of an intact exosporium. Single and double mutants of B. cereus lacking ExsY and its paralogue, CotY, were constructed. The exsY mutant spores are not surrounded by an intact exosporium, though they often ...

Abstract In maritime container terminals, yards have a primary role in permitting the efficient management of import and export flows. this work, mixed 0/1 linear programming model heuristic approach are proposed for defining storage rules order to minimize space used yard. The minimization land is pursued by allocate containers into bay-locations yard, such way as number empty slots within the...

In the present work a fuzzy logic model to preliminary assess the risk of accidental releases of ecotoxic substances in hazard plants has been developed. The methodology is based in three steps, the characterization of the hazardousness of the substance, the delimitation of the soil and groundwater vulnerability and the identification of the protective and preventive measures of the plant. The ...

Berths and yards are the most critical parts of container terminals. Their efficiency directly influences terminal operation efficiency. The multi-period coordinated optimization on berth allocation yard assignment has been studied considering a interaction between yard. problem is formulated as an integer programming, aimed at minimizing total truck travel distance, where decision variables be...

This document describes anonymization techniques for IP flow data and the export of anonymized data using the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. It categorizes common anonymization schemes and defines the parameters needed to describe them. It provides guidelines for the implementation of anonymized data export and storage over IPFIX, and describes an information model and Optionsbase...
