Abstract
We evaluated the effectiveness of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode in species identification of Tanzanian antelope species. A 470 base-pair region of the COI gene was examined in 95 specimens representing 20 species of antelopes, buffalo and domestic Bovidae. All the Ta...

Abstract
We provide the first molecular characterization of a piroplasm detected in a symptomatic sow, phylogenetically closely related to the Ungulibabesids. Results pave the way for future molecular epidemiology studies....

Abstract
Auditory development is disrupted without normal hearing but might proceed to some extent depending on the type and onset of deafness. We therefore hypothesized that activity in the auditory cortex would be highly variable in children who are deaf.

Abstract
We describe the genomic comparison of 18 strains of L. sakei originating mainly from processed meat against the 23K strain by comparative genome hybridization. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to estimate the genome sizes of the strains, which varied from 1.880 to 2.175 Mb, and the 23K gen...

Abstract
We investigate the 5-HT(2A) receptor, which is a known target for antipsychotic drugs. Recently, 5-HT(2A) has been shown to form functional homodimers and heterodimers with the mGluR2 receptor. The objective of this study is to build up 3D models of the 5-HT(2A)/mGluR2 heterodimer and of the 5-HT(2A...

Abstract
In Taiwan many factors, whether geological parent materials, human activities, and climate change, can affect the groundwater quality and its stability. This work combines factor analysis and kriging with information entropy theory to interpret the stability of groundwater quality va...

Abstract
Concerns about the water quality in Yuan-Yang Lake (YYL), a shallow, subtropical alpine lake located in north-central Taiwan, has been rapidly increasing recently due to the natural and anthropogenic pollution. In order to understand the underlying physical and chemical processes as...

Abstract
Liver metastasis is a fatal step in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the epigenetic evolution of this process is largely unknown. To decipher the epigenetic alterations during the development of liver metastasis, the DNA methylation status of 12 genes, including 5...

Abstract
We focus in this paper on object recognition using a new type of kernel referred to as "context dependent.” Objects, seen as constellations of interest points, are matched by minimizing an energy function mixing 1) a fidelity term which measures the quality of feature matching, 2) a neighborhood c...

Abstract
We provided an update on the prevalence of Legionella in mist fans (N=28), household water heaters with storage tanks (N=19) and instantaneous heaters (N=30); and extended the survey to spa pools (N=29) and aerosol-generating fixtures in nursing homes (N=116). The prevalence of Legionella were 21.1%...

Abstract
Our study on genetic diversity among populations of Schistosoma in Saudi Arabia gave a clear picture about this population and subsequently the method for controlling the parasites. From the examination of 40 collected samples of stools and urine, all urine samples were shown to be negative for the...

Abstract
We characterized the genomic, metabolic, and physiological divergence of several inbred rat strains--Brown Norway, Lewis, Wistar Kyoto, Fisher (F344)--frequently used as healthy controls in genetic studies of the cardiometabolic syndrome. Hierarchical clustering of (1)H NMR-based metabolic profiles...

Abstract
We found it to be difficult in tissues of very different cellularity, or tissue sections that exhibit high levels of inflammatory response. In both cases, spectral quality will be compromised due to confounding effects resulting from scattering effects. The correction of these effects now permits th...

Abstract
We propose that cell wall restructuring and superior homeostasis, particularly the management of reactive oxygen species, may render better dehydration-adaptation. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the comprehensive comparison of dehydration-responsive organellar proteome of two genotype...

Abstract
We comprehensively investigated the secretome and the concurrent cellular proteome of A549 cells. A high-quality secretome consisting of 382 proteins was refined from 889 initial secretory proteins. More than 85.3% of proteins were annotated as secreted and 76.8% as extracellular or membrane-bound....

Abstract
We propose several novel algorithms to reconstruct the growth history of a present-day network. Our likelihood-based method finds a probable previous state of the graph by applying an assumed growth model backwards in time. This approach retains node identities so that the history of individual node...

We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to test which of these four candidates occur with the limpet's symbiotic gill bacteria. The γ-proteobacterial probes consistently hybridized to the entire area where symbiotic bacteria were found, but fluorescence signal from the ε-proteobacterial...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was employed as a genetic analysis tool for the study of the genetic relatedness of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolates harvested from bovine fecal samples and from bovine or human tissues. This analysis revealed genetic differences betwe...
