By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Overall Processes Capability Index for Assembly Production Lines [PDF]

Journal of Applied Sciences, 2009
This study develops a new method called Overall Processes Capability Index (OPCI) to measure the capability of assembly lines. After defining relation between percentage yield and process capability, the new definition of overall defective rate is developed for assembly lines in different cases (series and parallel processes).

Estimating process capability index Cpm using a bootstrap sequential sampling procedure

, 2010
Construction of a confidence interval for process capability index CPM is often based on a normal approximation with fixed sample size. In this article, we describe a different approach in constructing a fixed-width confidence interval for process ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

A general novel process capability index for normal and non-normal measurements

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
In this study, a new process capability index is proposed. The new index is quantile-based, can be used in normal and non-normal measurements, and is a general form of the conventional Cpm.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
