The comparative approach for analyzing genomic data and the phage lytic spectrum suggested that the amino acid sequence of the orf8-encoded putative tape measure protein correlates with host range. Phylogenetic studies revealed separation of the sequenced phages into two subgroups. Finally, we identified three types of phage origin of replication…[Read more]

IMPLICATIONS Although these cases suggest that ARI may be associated with the emergence of PBG in the early course of schizophrenia-related psychotic disorders, they cannot prove the causality or the strength of this association. They provide the impetus to perform adequately powered and well-controlled prospective studies to draw more definite…[Read more]

BACKGROUND A step change in the night environment is taking place, with the large-scale installation of bright, broad-spectrum road lighting such as white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One justification for this is a reduction in road traffic collisions (RTCs). This study aimed to estimate the effect of new lighting on personal injury RTCs within…[Read more]

Syngas fermentation is a potential player for future emission reduction. The first demonstration and commercial plants have been successfully established. However, due to its novelty, development of syngas fermentation processes is still in its infancy, and the need to systematically unravel and understand further phenomena, such as substrate…[Read more]

The developed tool is evaluated by the 10-fold cross validation technique. Our findings suggest that the developed system is useful for diagnostic computational intelligence tool in hospital settings, and that it enables the automatic classification of HPT versus normal ECG signals. A deep learning (DL) network for 2D-based breast mass…[Read more]

Background Although pregnancy and childbirth are physiological processes, fear of childbirth is a common problem that is often associated with requests for cesarean delivery. This study was undertaken to determine the validity and reliability of the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire A (W-DEQ [A]) primiparous women in Mashhad,…[Read more]

Due to ecological reason, in the last period there is an increased interest for changing the synthetic based materials with biodegradable ones. In this study, we prepared bio-nanocomposite formulations based on κ-Carrageenan (κ) and bentonite nanoclay (BT) with different component concentrations (0% BT, 5% BT, 10% BT and 15% BT respectively) and i…[Read more]
