TsaR is the putative LysR-type regulator of the tsa operon (tsaMBCD) which encodes the first steps in the degradation of p-toluenesulfonate (TSA) in Comamonas testosteroni T-2. Transposon mutagenesis was used to knock out tsaR. The resulting mutant lacked the ability to grow with TSA and p-toluenecarboxylate (TCA). Reintroduction of tsaR in trans on an expression vector reconstituted growth wit...

Microwave breast cancer detection is based on differences in electrical properties between healthy and malignant tissues. Tissue sensing adaptive radar (TSAR) has been proposed as a method of microwave breast imaging for early tumor detection.TSARsenses all tissues in the volume of interest and adapts accordingly. Simulation results have shown the feasibility of this system for detecting tumors...

Nous présentons dans ces travaux le concept du “Résumé de Séquence Temporelle” dont le but est d’aider les applications dépendantes du temps à passer à l’échelle sur de grandes masses de données. Un Résumé de Séquence Temporelle s’obtient en transformant une séquence d’événements où les événements sont ordonnés chronologiquement. Chaque événement est précisément décrit par un ensemble de labels...

The mid-sixteenth century saw dramatic transformations in the image of the Russian monarchy. In 1547 Ivan IV the Terrible (1530–84) adopted a new title, that of tsar. Powerful images of the tsar and his realm also appeared in Russian works of art, architectural monuments, literary texts and court rituals. The historian David Miller sees court art and ritual as attempts to build a new national p...

Attribute reduction of an information system is a key problem in rough set theory and its applications. Using computational intelligence (CI) tools to solve such problems has recently fascinated many researchers. CI tools are practical and robust for many real-world problems, and they are rapidly developed nowadays. However, some classes of CI tools, like memory-based heuristics, have not been ...

We consider the effect of phase shifts in the context of second-order recoupling techniques in solid-state NMR. Notably we highlight conditions leading to significant improvements for the Third Spin Assisted Recoupling (TSAR) mechanism and demonstrate the benefits of resulting techniques for detecting long-distance transfer in biomolecular systems. The modified pulse sequences of PAR and PAIN-C...

Guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) for event delivery has been recognized as a important but challenging issue in Event Based Middleware (EBMs). Amongst the numerous QoS parameters, in this effort, we focus on reliability as a service guarantee to subscribers in an EBM. While there exist some work in this area, our focus is primarily on providing subscribers with an additional level of granu...
