We give a broad overview of the basic principles and historical development of gel-based proteomics, and how this powerful approach can be applied for studying bacterial biology and physiology. We highlight specific 2-DE applications that can be used to analyze when, where and how much proteins are...

We report the first case of spontaneous intrapartum Atopobium vaginae bacteremia identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacterium was misidentified by RapID ANA II, API RAPID 32A, and MALDI-TOF-MS. The likely source of bacteremia was the female genital tract. In invasive infections caused by A....

Herein investigated are computationally simple microphone-array beamformers that are independent of the frequency-spectra of all signals, all interference, and all noises. These beamformers allow the listener to tune the desired azimuth-elevation "look direction." No prior informatio...

To better understand the genetic diversity and genomic features of 41 coronaviruses (CoVs) identified from Kenya bats in 2006, seven CoVs as representatives of seven different phylogenetic groups identified from partial polymerase gene sequences, were subjected to extensive genomic s...

We report the identification and genome characterization of a novel bocavirus, feline bocavirus (FBoV), and novel bocaviruses closely related to canine bocavirus (CBoV) strain Con-161 in stray cats and dogs in Hong Kong respectively. FBoV was detected in 7.2%, 0.3%, 1.6%, 2% and 0.8% of fecal, nasal...

Room measurements were conducted in a variable acoustics classroom mockup space (epod) at Armstrong World Industries in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Binaural room impulse responses were measured in the epod using a head and torso simulator. Five reverberation time (RT) scenarios wer...

It is well known that the propagation of sound is sensitive to the acoustical properties and thicknesses of the porous materials when the source is placed near them. An efficient yet accurate numerical scheme to compute the sound propagation over an extended reaction surface is neede...

We proposed a novel beamforming algorithm which is complex signal basis instead of signal power output basis in order to explore the phase information of the sources, moreover the coherence interference is eliminated by applying linear constrains which enhance the accuracy of the source-parameter es...

An increasing number of schools are offering Architectural Engineering (AE) programs; currently there are 20 schools across the United States. However, only few of these AE programs include acoustics as a main option in their curricula. A comprehensive review of U.S. graduate program...

We report the first case of Kytococcus schroeteri implant-related septic arthritis and osteomyelitis, identified by phenotypic tests and 16S rRNA sequencing, which responded to implant removal and doxycycline. 16S rRNA sequencing was useful for the accurate and rapid identification of the organism a...

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms, also known as PEComas, are unique mesenchymal tumors exhibiting perivascular epithelioid cell differentiation, characterized by a mixed myogenic and melanocytic phenotype. PEComas arising in visceral organs outside of the kidney, liver, and lu...

Irradiation of BM subregions with higher (18)F-FDG-PET activity was associated with hematologic toxicity, supporting the hypothesis that reducing dose to BM(ACT) subregions could mitigate hematologic toxicity. Future investigation should seek to confirm these findings and to identify optimal SUV thr...

We investigated the expression of 10 immunohistochemical markers (CK7, CK20, CDX-2, β-catenin, MUC-1, MUC-2, MUC-6, ER, WT-1, and PAX-8) in 175 cases of MA, including 69 cases from the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, 41 from the upper GI tract, 27 from gynecologic organs, 4 from the urinary blad...

We discovered a novel paramyxovirus, Tailam virus, of subfamily Paramyxovirinae, in the kidneys and spleens of Sikkim rats. The coding potential of its genome (3'-N-P/V/C-M-F-SH-TM-G-L-5') is similar to those of Beilong virus and J virus, with putative proteins having 59.1 to 94.4% and 23.8 to 80.1%...

Sound transmission loss through an exterior wall is limited by its weakest structure, generally a window, especially if it is open. Considering the acoustic modes within a window and a room are important because much of the acoustic energy from noise sources such as traffic and large wind turbines is...
