Rainfall is one of the most complex phenomena occurring on earth to study with extreme and advanced soft computing engine that can perform well with adaptive perception. Here, in this study, an attempt has been made to study the behaviour of rainfall in Chennai district, Tamil Nadu, India, using wavelet tool. Wavelet is one of the prominent tools f...

Gut microbiomes perform crucial roles in host health and development, but few studies have explored cetacean microbiomes especially deep divers. We characterized the gut microbiomes of stranded dwarf (Kogia sima) and pygmy (K. breviceps) sperm whales to examine the effects of phylogeny and life stage on microbiome composition and diversity. 16S rRN...

BackgroundTo identify factors predicting severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adolescent and adult patients with laboratory-positive (quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) infection.MethodA retrospective cohort study took place, and data from 740 subjects, from all 32 states of Mexico, were analyzed. The association...

A modified SDS–Trizol method was optimized for isolation of total RNA from the stored maize seeds at regular interval of one month for 4 months. Use of SDS extraction buffer before the use of Trizol reduced the co-precipitation problem associated with high carbohydrate content in the seed. Recorded mean RNA yield from seeds across the storage inter...

Imitation learning is an intuitive approach for teaching motion to robotic systems. Although previous studies have proposed various methods to model demonstrated movement primitives, one of the limitations of existing methods is that the shape of the trajectories is encoded in high dimensional space. The high dimensionality of the trajectory repres...

Hypoxia inducible factor (HIFs) signaling contributes to malignant cell behavior in glioblastoma (GBM). We investigated a novel HIF2α inhibitor, PT2385, both in vitro, with low-passage patient-derived cell lines, and in vivo, using orthotopic models of glioblastoma. We focused on analysis of HIF2α expression in situ, cell survival/proliferation, an...

BackgroundIn [Prezza et al., AMB 2019], a new reference-free and alignment-free framework for the detection of SNPs was suggested and tested. The framework, based on the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), significantly improves sensitivity and precision of previous de Bruijn graphs based tools by overcoming several of their limitations, namely: (i) t...

BackgroundGram-negative bacterial capsules are associated with production of carbohydrates, frequently resulting in a mucoid phenotype. Infections caused by capsulated or mucoid A. baumannii are associated with increased clinical severity. Therefore, it is clinically and epidemiologically important to identify capsulated A. baumannii. Here, we desc...

An accurate understanding of biodiversity of the past is critical for contextualizing biodiversity patterns and trends in the present. Emerging techniques are refining our ability to decipher otherwise cryptic human-mediated species translocations across the Quaternary, yet these techniques are often used in isolation, rather than part of an interd...

In this paper, we consider the Ricci curvature of a Ricci soliton. In particular, we have showed that a complete gradient Ricci soliton with non-negative Ricci curvature possessing a non-constant convex potential function having finite weighted Dirichlet integral satisfying an integral condition is Ricci flat and also it isometrically splits a line...
