ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase encoding genes in E. coli from pig and pig farm workers in Vietnam and their association with mobile genetic elements by Hounmanou, Yaovi Mahuton Gildas, Bortolaia, Valeria, Dang, Son Thi Thanh, Truong, Duong, Olsen, John E., Dalsgaard, Anders

“…The isolates carrying the plasmids, even those with plasmids of similar types, showed wide genetic variation with high number of SNPs, suggesting horizontal spread of plasmids into different clonal lines. Their virulence profiles did not confirm to known pathotypes, suggesting that unrelated commensals are a main reservoir for ESBL and AmpC β-lactamases in both humans and pigs. …”

Overexpression of 4EBP1, p70S6K, Akt1 or Akt2 differentially promotes Coxsackievirus B3-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by Xing, X., Huang, L., Li, X., Li, Z., Zhou, W., Tian, L., Chen, J., Chen, C., Ma, Xing, Yang, Z.

“…And then, we established the stable transfected cell lines. Next, after CVB3 infection, apoptosis in different groups was determined by flow cytometry; the expressions of Bim, Bax, caspase-9 and caspase-3 were examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot analysis; the expression of CVB3 mRNA and viral capsid protein VP1 were also analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence, respectively. …”

Cross-layer host-network co-design for QoS in streamed video data networking by Nan, Ya

“…The proposed design faces the challenge of constraints of both computation resources at the edge servers and network bandwidth of the edge-cloud links. An accuracy gradient-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to allocate the limited computation and network resources across different video streams to achieve the maximum overall performance. …”

Investigating S-acylation in the metabolic dysfunction of the T2D heart by Dennis, KMJH

“…The lipid post translational modification <em>S</em>-acylation has been linked to regulating CD36 trafficking. However, it remains unknown whether CD36 is <em>S</em>-acylated in the heart and whether CD36 <em>S</em>-acylation levels are altered in T2D.…”

Production and characterization of collagen and gelatin from edible jellyfish (Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934) for fabrication of biofunctional scaffold by Khong, Nicholas Mun Hoe

“…The combinations of different jellyfish collagen and gelatin concentrations were observed to have significant effects on the cross-section morphology and the molecular integrity of the cross-linked scaffolds. Proportional combination of jellyfish collagen into the ternary scaffolds was found to significantly (p < 0.05) increase mean pore size and porosity. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…However, due to the increased video data compared to conventional single-view video, efficient coding format and joint bit rate allocation among multiple stereo videos on bandwidth limited transmission links are still challenging problems. A scalable coding scheme for stereo video is first designed such that regulating output bit rate of each video to match the allocated bandwidth can be achieved by simple bitstream extraction. …”
