Rapid advancements in sequencing technologies along with falling costs present widespread opportunities for microbiome studies across a vast and diverse array of environments. These impressive technological developments have been accompanied by considerable growth the number methodological variables, including sampling, storage, DNA extraction, primer pairs, technology, chemistry version, read length, insert size, analysis pipelines, amongst others. This increase variability threatens to...
Abstract We have identified a t(8;9)(p21-23;p23-24) in seven male patients (mean age 50, range 32-74) with diverse hematologic malignancies and clinical outcomes: atypical chronic myeloid leukemia/chronic eosinophilic leukemia (n = 5), secondary acute 1), pre-B-cell lymphoblastic 1). Initial fluorescence situ hybridization studies of one patient indicated that the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Janus-activated 2 (JAK2) at 9p24 was disrupted. Rapid amplification cDNA ends-PCR 8p22 partner gene...
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of DNA, RNA, and protein sequences is one the most essential techniques in fields molecular biology, computational bioinformatics. Next-generation sequencing technologies are changing biology landscape, flooding databases with massive amounts raw data. MSA ever-increasing data sets becoming a significant bottleneck. In order to realise promise for large-scale sets, it necessary existing algorithms be run parallelised fashion distributed over computing...
Abstract Technical Support call centres frequently receive several thousand customer queries on a daily basis. Traditionally, such organisations discard data related to enquiries within relatively short period of time due limited storage capacity. However, in recent years, the value retaining and analysing this information has become clear, enabling identify patterns, improve first resolution maximise closure rates. This paper proposes Proof Concept (PoC) end solution that utilises Hadoop...
This paper provides an in-depth review and discussion of the state art in redundancy mitigation for vehicular Collective Perception Service (CPS). We focus on evolutionary differences between rules proposed 2019 ETSI TR 103 562 versus 2023 technical specification TS 324, which uses a Value Information (VoI) based approach. also critically analyse academic literature that has sought to quantify communication challenges posed by CPS present unique taxonomy approaches using three distinct...
Summary. Plasma NOx concentrations were raised in 22 acute painful crises SCD. We have measured blood of nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) sickle‐cell disease (SCD), and shown that they are increased compared with healthy controls (P = 0.002), haemoglobin E/β‐thalassaemic (P=0.05). Concentrations steady‐state SCD also higher than 0.04) but not significantly different from the at beginning 0.34). Importantly, 12 regularly exchanged sicklers, mean pre‐transfusion concentration did differ control...
In this work the authors present first publicly available, open-source simulation model of Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 14 Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) standard. The specifically addresses Mode 4, in which vehicles communicate directly peer mode using a distributed resource allocation algorithm. Importantly, is fully compliant with existing service and application layers already defined by automotive standards communities, providing standardised cross-layer...
This paper presents OpenCV2X, the first publicly available, open-source simulation model of Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 14 Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) sidelink, which forms basis for 5G NR Mode 2 under later releases. is fully compliant with existing vehicular service and application layers, including messaging sets as defined by automotive standards communities providing a standardised, cross-layer communication model. Using this model, we show how current...
Low plasma heparin cofactor II (HCII) levels are associated with a thrombotic tendency, and we have previously shown these to be decreased in variety of haemolytic conditions. The risk thrombosis is recognized increased both thalassaemia major (TM) intermedia (TI), although the exact mechanisms poorly understood. HCII therefore been compared 20 untrans‐fused patients TI regularly transfused TM determine influence transfusion on HCII. Additionally, untransfused commenced regular red cell...
With world wide data predicted to exceed 40 trillion gigabytes by 2020, big storage is a very real and escalating problem. Herein, we discuss the utility of synthetic DNA as robust eco-friendly archival solution future.
This paper presents an Infrastructure Enhanced Geographic Routing Protocol (IEGRP) for urban vehicular environments. IEGRP is a hybrid routing protocol that facilitates V2V or V2I unicast by dynamically changing its decisions in the presence of full partial Road-Side Unit (RSU) infrastructure order to maximise packet delivery rate. To best author's knowledge this first approach where algorithm exploits available but also utilises efficient multi-hop communications using greedy forwarding,...
Summary Hepatic venocclusive disease causes considerable morbidity and mortality following bone marrow transplantation. There are two hypotheses regarding the aetiology of this syndrome; firstly that changes in plasma coagulation factors natural anticoagulants lead to a prothrombotic state secondly endothelial cell activation stimulates intravascular deposition fibrin. We have investigated these mechanisms by measuring proteins C S VII X post transplant period using concentration factor Vila...
This paper presents a detailed quantitative evaluation of standardised Decentralised Congestion Control (DCC) and packet dropping mechanisms for Cellular V2X (C-V2X). Based on the identified shortcomings, an Access layer DCC scheme, RRI adaptive, is then proposed. adaptive accommodates sidelink scheduling mechanism Sensing Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SB-SPS), eliminating incompatibilities between current standards mechanism, to avoid unnecessary reoccurring collisions. Two variants are...
Both Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) aim to provide seamless connectivity services in a dynamic decentralised environment. These two technologies, if unified, may be able realise MANETs as viable commercial technology will enable the development of widespread distributed applications for MANETs. The push towards wireless ubiquitous computing means that service providers need adapt highly mobile topology given client-server can not supported such an environment, P2P...
It is expected that future vehicular networks will consist of a combination ad-hoc network and infrastructure components. Road Side Units (RSUs) form part the element. However, it anticipated fully deployed RSU may not be economically feasible in short term, therefore, partial urban environments more likely, at least initially while are being adopted. further likely low vehicle penetration rates exist 802.11p On-Board Unit (OBU) technology rolled out, thus routing schemes should exploit...
Adaptation of the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) within Cellular Vehicle-To-Everything (C-V2X) sidelink has potential for a wide range applications including congestion control, support variable packet sizes, density aware rate adaptation improved unicast transmissions. However, practical implementation MCS presents implications C-V2X radio resources, bandwidth, computation power levels operation scheduling mechanism. This paper first study that provides detailed analysis an implemented...
Network simulations are often the first choice to design, test, and evaluate novel applications protocols for vehicular networks. Aiming higher realism, simulators become increasingly complex, relying on detailed simulation models that developed by different communities. With this trend, it also becomes difficult understand all in detail researchers might lack expert knowledge parameterize such properly. In paper, we identify suboptimal default parameter values physical layer effects common...
Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae ED-NGS-1000, cultivated from a blood sample taken preterm neonate sepsis patient at Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
A 33-year-old woman was receiving her second cycle of combination chemotherapy (etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, cisplatin; ESHAP) for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma when she complained worsening dyspnoea. Until this point had been well, disease having detected on a follow-up computerised tomography (CT) scan. The patient not received radiotherapy as part initial treatment. At presentation tachycardic (110 bpm) and hypotensive (blood pressure 90/55 mm Hg). jugular venous elevated at 10...
