Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are capable of occupying physiologically distinct intracellular and extracellular niches within the urinary tract.This feat requires the timely regulation of gene expression and small RNAs (sRNAs) are known to mediate such rapid adjustments in response to changing environmental cues.This study aimed to uncover
An improved spectral reflectance estimation method was developed to transform captured RGB images to spectral reflectance.The novelty of our method is an iteratively reweighted regulated model that combines polynomial expansion signals, which was developed for spectral reflectance estimation, and a cross-polarized imaging system, which is used to e
Astrophotonics Astragalus is the application of photonic technologies to channel, manipulate, and disperse light from one or more telescopes to achieve scientific objectives in astronomy in an efficient and cost-effective way.Utilizing photonic advantage for astronomical spectroscopy is a promising approach to miniaturizing the next generation of s
ADAMTS13 is a 190 kDa zinc protease encoded by a gene located on chromosome 9q34.This protease specifically hydrolyzes von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers, thus causing VWF size reduction.ADAMTS13 belongs to Jackets the A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease with ThromboSpondin type 1 repeats (ADAMTS) family, involved in proteolytic processing of many
The fast growing popularity of smartphones and tablets enables us to use various intelligent mobile applications.As many of those applications require position information, smart mobile devices provide positioning methods such as Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi-based positioning system (WPS), or Cell-ID-based positioning service.However, thos
