Technological characterization of vaginal probiotic lactobacilli: resistance to osmotic stress and strains compatibility [PDF]
Aims: The aim was to evaluate the osmotic stress resistance of vaginal beneficial probiotic strains, their growth kinetics and parameters when growing in salt-added culture media, and their compatibility to go further in the design of a probiotic formula

Understanding Distal Transcriptional Regulation from Sequence Motif, Network Inference and Interactome Perspectives [PDF]
Gene regulation in higher eukaryotes involves a complex interplay between the gene proximal promoter and distal genomic elements (such as enhancers) which work in concert to drive spatio-temporal expression. The experimental characterization of gene regulatory elements is a very complex and resource-intensive process.

Mechanisms of pelvic floor muscle function and the effect on the urethra during a cough
Background: Current measurement tools have difficulty identifying the automaticphysiologic processes maintaining continence, and many questions still remainabout pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function during automatic events.Objective: To perform a ...

Understanding Transcriptional Regulation Using De-novo Sequence Motif Discovery, Network Inference and Interactome Data [PDF]
Gene regulation is a complex process involving the role of several genomic elements which work in concert to drive spatio-temporal expression. The experimental characterization of gene regulatory elements is a very complex and resource-intensive process.

Compact integral manifolds of differential systems [PDF]
The boundedness tests for the number of compact integral manifolds of autonomous ordinary differential systems, of autonomous total differential systems, of linear systems of partial differential equations, of Pfaff systems of equations, and of systems of exterior differential equations are proved.

Using Structure-Behavior Coalescence Method for Systems Definition 2.0 [PDF]
Systems definition is an artifact created by humans to describe what a system is. A system has been defined, by systems definition 1.0, hopefully to be an integrated whole, embodied in its components, their interrelationships with each other and the environment, and the principles and guidelines governing its design and evolution.

Paraganglioma (PGL) is rare, and PGL that arises from the urogenital system is even rarer. Here we report a case of PGL in spermatic cord and review the relevant literatures.

Morphisms of Networks of Hybrid Open Systems [PDF]
This thesis (defended 10/07/2019) develops a theory of networks of hybrid open systems and morphisms. It builds upon a framework of networks of continuous-time open systems as product and interconnection. We work out categorical notions for hybrid systems, deterministic hybrid systems, hybrid open systems, networks of hybrid open systems, and morphisms
