Pursuit on a Graph under Partial Information from Sensors [PDF]
We consider a class of pursuit-evasion problems where an evader enters a directed acyclic graph and attempts to reach one of the terminal nodes. A pursuer enters the graph at a later time and attempts to capture the evader before it reaches a terminal node. The pursuer can only obtain information about the evader's path via sensors located at each node

Heat stress as a predisposing factor for necrotic enteritis in broiler chicks
Heat stress is a physical environmental stressor, which can affect performance, health and welfare of poultry. The present study investigates the effect of cyclic acute heat stress as a predisposing factor for necrotic enteritis in broiler chicks in an ...

Abstract Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are actively secreted nanostructures that play a unique role in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. In this study, we established an intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)/macrophage coculture system and found that Listeria monocytogenes (LM) membrane vesicles (MVs) acted on macrophages and caused ...

Abstract Mycobacterium marinum is a prevalent nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)‐infecting teleosts. Conversely, little is known about mycobacteriosis in elasmobranchs, and M. marinum infection has never been reported from the subclass. This study investigated the histopathological characteristics and localization of this mycobacterium through ...

Necrotic enteritis is an economically important poultry disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium perfringens. There are currently no necrotic enteritis vaccines available for use in broiler birds, the most important target population.

Variable Selection and Model Averaging in Semiparametric Overdispersed Generalized Linear Models [PDF]
We express the mean and variance terms in a double exponential regression model as additive functions of the predictors and use Bayesian variable selection to determine which predictors enter the model, and whether they enter linearly or flexibly. When the variance term is null we obtain a generalized additive model, which becomes a generalized linear ...

Eosinophilic enteritis: A case for awareness among primary care physicians
In making a presumptive diagnosis of eosinophilic enteritis prompting specialist referral, primary care physicians are advised to focus on patients' medical history, medication history, clinical course, and blood tests, while bearing in mind that a definitive diagnosis of eosinophilic enteritis requires a histopathological assessment of biopsy ...

Fuss-Catalan numbers and planar partitions [PDF]
We show how the Fuss-Catalan numbers $ \frac{1}{p n+1}\binom{pn+1}{n}$ enter different problems of counting simple and multiple planar partitions.

Entering the "magnetic highway": energetic particle anisotropies at the heliospheric boundary [PDF]
In August of 2012 the Voyager 1 space probe entered a distinctly new region of space characterized by a virtual absence of heliospheric energetic charged particles and magnetic fluctuations, dubbed a "magnetic highway". Prior to their disappearance, the particle distributions strongly peaked at a 90$^\circ$ pitch angle implying a faster particle escape
