Spread of a highly mucoid Streptococcus pyogenes emm3/ST15 clone
(BioMed Central, 2010)
Background
Hyaluronic acid capsule plays a key role in Streptococcus pyogenes virulence. Circulation of mucoid or highly encapsulated strains has been related to rheumatic fever epidemics and invasive disease in several ...
Biosimilars – the way forward
(Cogora Limited, 2010-05)
Biotechnology represents a considerable opportunity, but also a challenge, given the complexities and risk associated with the
development and manufacture of biological medicines.
Experiencia, pragmatismo y líneas de actuación comunes, bases del nuevo modelo de desarrollo rural del País Vasco
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC: Instituto de Economía y Geografía, 2010)
[ES] En el año 1998 el País Vasco pone en marcha un modelo de desarrollo rural fundamentado en la colaboración entre administraciones locales y regionales frente a la dependencia de las subvenciones comunitarias. Con objeto ...
On a Generalized Time-Varying SEIR Epidemic Model with Mixed Point and Distributed Time-Varying Delays and Combined Regular and Impulsive Vaccination Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper discusses a generalized time-varying SEIR propagation disease model subject to delays which potentially involves mixed regular and impulsive vaccination rules. The model takes also into account the natural ...
A Minimal Model of Metabolism-Based Chemotaxis
(Public Library of Science, 2010-12-02)
Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of bacterial chemotaxis endorse this assumption. Recent ...
Stable Iteration Procedures in Metric Spaces which Generalize a Picard-Type Iteration
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the stability of iteration procedures defined by continuous functions acting on self-maps in continuous metric spaces. Some of the obtained results extend the contraction principle to the use of ...
Grafted Human Embryonic Progenitors Expressing Neurogenin-2 Stimulate Axonal Sprouting and Improve Motor Recovery after Severe Spinal Cord Injury
(Public Library of Science, 2010-12-30)
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a widely spread pathology with currently no effective treatment for any symptom. Regenerative medicine through cell transplantation is a very attractive strategy and may be used in ...
Robust Adaptive Stabilization of Linear Time-Invariant Dynamic Systems by Using Fractional-Order Holds and Multirate Sampling Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010-02)
This paper presents a strategy for designing a robust discrete-time adaptive controller for stabilizing linear time-invariant (LTI) continuous-time dynamic systems. Such systems may be unstable and noninversely stable in ...
The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats
(Public Library of Science, 2010-08-02)
The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hot spot. Here we combined an extensive literature analysis with expert opinions to update publicly available estimates of major taxa in this marine ecosystem and to revise ...
Some Fixed Point Properties of Self-Maps Constructed by Switched Sets of Primary Self-Maps on Normed Linear Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper is devoted to the investigation of the existence of fixed points in a normed linear space X endowed with a norm ‖⋅‖ for self-maps f from T×X to X which are constructed from a given class of so-called primary ...
