Although Streptococcus sanguinis has been reported to produce H 2 O gain a competitive edge over mutans, the molecular mechanisms evolved by S. mutans counter this “peer stress” are still be identified. The current study was designed investigate ecological role of glutathione synthetase ( gshAB) in interspecies interaction between and sanguinis. A gshAB in-frame deletion strain constructed, its phenotypic traits were characterized. spatio-temporal mutant with further investigated...

Large fluctuations of key parameters in cation-based resistive random access memory (RRAM), which originate from stochastic growth metallic conductive filaments, always impose a significant barrier to the practical application devices. Here, we propose an ordinary bilayer oxide structure Ag/TaOx/TaOy/Pt (x < y) address this issue and achieve performance enhancement cells. This device is inclined form nano-cone-shaped filaments under external bias, tips provide electric field...

In order improve overall energy a LIB, herein we propose dual-functional cathodic prelithiation reagent Li3P that can and enhance security. With high theoretical 1547.61 mA h g–1 relatively low lithiation potential, able sacrifice its Li+ during first charging process. LiFePO4(LFP)//graphite full cell, charge 177.5 be...

Oil is widely used as a lubricant in many industries. However, the final product, oil often considered contaminant. In various production processes, such semiconductor manufacturing, precision machining, and optical device fabrication, ultra-clean surfaces are crucial. residues on these can adversely affect product performance quality. Detecting controlling enables enhancing reliability consistency. Previous lipid detection studies necessitate complex pre-processing, large instruments, or...

Abstract Drought tolerance in turfgrass species and optimal irrigation strategies are key to addressing the need for water conservation our landscapes. Preliminary findings on tall fescue [ Schedonorus arundinacea (Schreb.) Dumort., nom. Cons] western Oregon have determined that this can persist at a high‐quality level with very little evapotranspiration (ET) replacement. Research perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) has suggested deficit ET replacement is also viable weed management...

Abstract Hard fescue ( Festuca brevipila ) is a fine‐leaved cool‐season turfgrass and well adapted for low‐maintenance areas, such as home lawns, parks, roadsides. Breeding improved disease resistance major objective in utilizing hard under low‐input management. The Epichlöe festucae endophyte‐mediated dollar spot Clarireedia jacksonii its mechanism have been well‐documented strong creeping red F. rubra subsp. ). However, little known about fescue. objectives of this research were to (1)...

Multitarget agents have been increasingly explored for enhancing efficacy and reducing countertarget activities toxicities. Efficient virtual screening (VS) tools searching selective multitarget are desired. Combinatorial support vector machines (C-SVM) were tested as VS dual-inhibitors of 11 combinations 9 anticancer kinase targets (EGFR, VEGFR, PDGFR, Src, FGFR, Lck, CDK1, CDK2, GSK3). C-SVM trained on 233−1,316 non-dual-inhibitors correctly identified 26.8%−57.3% (majority >36%) the...

Abstract Epichloë spp. are naturally occurring fungal endophytic symbionts of many cool-season grasses. Infection by the endophytes often confers biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to their hosts. Endophyte-mediated disease resistance is well-established in fine fescue grass Festuca rubra subsp. (strong creeping red fescue) infected with E . festucae Resistance pathogens not an established effect endophyte infection other species, may therefore be unique fescues. The underlying mechanism...

Virtual screening performance of support vector machines (SVM) depends on the diversity training active and inactive compounds. While diverse compounds can be routinely generated, number known actives are typically low. We evaluated SVM trained by sparsely distributed in six MDDR biological target classes composed a high (983−1645) high, intermediate, low structural (muscarinic M1 receptor agonists, NMDA antagonists, thrombin inhibitors, HIV protease cephalosporins, renin inhibitors)....

Phosphorus has been considered a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high specific capacity 2596 mA h g-1 and safe lithiation voltage 0.7 V. However, the practical application phosphorus is challenged by poor cyclability associated with dissolution intermediates, enormous volume expansion sluggish reaction kinetics during cycling process. Herein, multifunctional coating layer designed fabricated on surface phosphorus-carbon nanotube (P-CNT) electrode via facile...

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a compatible intracellular bacterial pathogen that can invade different mammalian cells and reach the central nervous system (CNS), leading to meningoencephalitis brain abscesses. In diagnosis of L. (LMM), conventional tests are often reported as negative due antibiotic therapy or low content in cerebrospinal fluid. To date, prompt accurate treatment remain challenge for patients with infections.Here, we report case 64-year-old male diagnosed LMM...

Increased N fertilization, mowing height, and sand topdressing are management practices that can suppress anthracnose disease of annual bluegrass [ Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn) T. Koyama; ABG] caused by Colletotrichum cereale Manns. A 3‐yr field study evaluated the relative importance interactions these factors on severity, turfgrass quality, ball roll distance (BRD) ABG turf in North Brunswick, NJ. factorial combination height (2.3 3.2 mm), fertilization (100 200 kg ha −1 yr ), (46 98...

Many cool-season grasses have symbiotic relationships with Epichloë (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) fungal endophytes that inhabit the intercellular spaces of above-ground parts host plants. The presence is generally beneficial to hosts due enhanced tolerance biotic and abiotic stresses conferred by endophytes. spp. are asexual, those infections always remain asymptomatic. However, some a sexual stage produce macroscopic fruiting body, stroma, envelops developing inflorescence causing syndrome...

The inhibitor of apoptosis family member livin is expressed in several types cancer but not most benign tissues, and it has been considered to be a poor prognostic mark various malignancies. However, expression its relevance have evaluated colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence. In this study, we analyzed the difference among normal mucosa, adenoma, adenocarcinoma investigated relationship carcinomas with clinicopathological variables using immunohistochemistry real-time reverse...

The 1 -norm based tensor analysis (TPCA-L1) is recently proposed for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction.However, a greedy strategy was utilized solving the maximization problem, which makes it prone to being stuck in local solutions.In this paper, we propose robust TPCA with non-greedy (TPCA-L1 non-greedy), all projection directions are optimized simultaneously.Experiments on several face databases demonstrate effectiveness of method.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV vaccination considered an effective way to prevent Although vast majority people experience no obvious adverse reactions after being vaccinated with vaccine, continuous monitoring events following immunization important. Herein, we report case a previously healthy young woman who developed unilateral extraocular muscle palsy receiving third dose Gardasil 9-valent vaccine (9vHPV) and was diagnosed myasthenia gravis...
