Bacteroides fragilis Toxin Induces Sequential Proteolysis of E-Cadherin and Inflammatory Response in Mouse Intestinal Epithelial Cell Line

Microorganisms
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is an intestinal bacterium that secretes the metalloprotease Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT), which induces E-cadherin cleavage and interleukin-8 secretion in human intestinal epithelial cell lines.

Stretching BFT

, 2010
State-of-the-art BFT protocols remain far from the maximum theoretical throughput. Based on exhaustive eval- uation and monitoring of existing BFT protocols, we highlight few impediments to their scaling. These include the use of IP multicast, the presence of bottlenecks due to asymmetric replica processing, and an unbalanced network bandwidth ...

Experimental Investigation of TR-UHPC Composites and Flexural Behavior of TR-UHPC Composite Slab

Applied Sciences
In this investigation, the effects of different fabrics with 0.20% carbon fiber textile (CFT), 0.21% glass fiber textile (GFT), and 0.25% basalt fiber textile (BFT) on the properties of TR-UHPC were investigated by axial tensile tests.

Research on Estimating Backfat Thickness in Jinfen White Pigs Using Deep Learning and Image Processing

Agriculture
To address the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient nature of existing contact-based measurements of sow backfat thickness (BFT), in this study, a method to estimate BFT from depth images using deep learning and image processing is proposed ...

MiB: Asynchronous BFT With More Replicas

IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing
State-of-the-art asynchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) protocols, such as HoneyBadgerBFT, BEAT, and Dumbo, have shown a performance comparable to partially synchronous BFT protocols. This paper studies two practical directions in asynchronous BFT.

Ultrasound Back-Fat Thickness Association with Risk of Metabolic Disease of Dairy Cows in Early Lactation

Animals
Ultrasound back-fat thickness (BFT) can indirectly assess the risk of metabolic disease as hyperketonemia. In this study, 129 multiparous and clinically healthy dairy cows were enrolled and examined weekly for the first 8 weeks of lactation for body ...
