Scalable Microbial Strain Inference in Metagenomic Data Using StrainFacts

Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2022
While genome databases are nearing a complete catalog of species commonly inhabiting the human gut, their representation of intraspecific diversity is lacking for all but the most abundant and frequently studied taxa.

Strained Interpretations [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
Judges often give statutes strained interpretations. What makes an interpretation strained? What, if anything, justifies a strained interpretation? Is there always a point past which an interpretation would be too strained, or are there some interpretations which judges are entitled to adopt, whatever a statute says?

α-Synuclein Strains Target Distinct Brain Regions and Cell Types

Nature Neuroscience, 2019
The clinical and pathological differences between synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy have been postulated to stem from unique strains of α-synuclein aggregates, akin to what occurs in prion diseases.

Isolation of Shiga toxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli from beef and swine carcasses and the characterization of their genes

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2018
Escherichia coli is part of the normal microflora of the intestinal tract of humans and warm-blooded animals, but its presence in raw material and food of animal origin is considered as fecal contamination and can be very dangerous for consumers.

Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS) for Deformation Assessment of Composite Collectors and Pipelines

Sensors, 2021
Due to the low costs of distributed optical fibre sensors (DFOS) and the possibility of their direct integration within layered composite members, DFOS technology has considerable potential in structural health monitoring of linear underground ...

NEDD4 controls spermatogonial stem cell homeostasis and stress response by regulating messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes

Nature Communications, 2017
Stress granules (SG) comprise aggregates of cellular messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) but how they form is unclear. Here, the authors identify NEDD4, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, as regulating the RNA binding protein NANOS2 and turnover of mRNP components,

Strain Hardening at Large Strains [PDF]

, 1989
The strain hardening properties of various fcc metals have been investigated at large strains by means of torsion tests of short thin-walled cylinders. The results show that Stage IV occurs in all cases provided that a low enough test temperature is used; it is a nearly constant hardening rate of 2.10/sup /minus/4/ G in terms of resolved flow stress ...

Review on PRNP genetics and susceptibility to chronic wasting disease of Cervidae

Veterinary Research, 2021
To date, chronic wasting disease (CWD) is the most infectious form of prion disease affecting several captive, free ranging and wild cervid species. Responsible for marked population declines in North America, its geographical spread is now becoming a ...
