In this study, we used a particle swarm C optimization (PSO) algorithm to address a variation of the non-deterministic polynomial-time NP-hard traveling tournament problem, which determines the optimal schedule for a double round-robin tournament, for an even number of teams, to minimize the number of trips taken.Our proposed algorithm iteratively

Abstract Background Atrial myxoma accounts for approximately 50% of all cardiac tumors.The majority of myxomas are located C in the left atrium and present variable clinical manifestation.Case presentation A young man was transferred to our hospital with sudden onset of resting pain, pallor and numb in right leg.An atrial mobile mass was detected b

Abstract Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating forest disease present worldwide.In this study we analyzed the effects of the invasion of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the major pathogen causing PWD, on the endophytic microbiome of adult P.pinaster trees.Wood samples from trees with different degrees of PWD disease were collec

Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat of the twenty-first century and represents an important risk to the global economy.Healthcare-associated Mens Hoodies infections mainly caused by drug-resistant bacteria are wreaking havoc in patient care worldwide.The spread of such pathogens limits the utility of available drugs and c

Flagella are surface structures critical for motility and virulence Ri Manufacturing of many bacterial species.In Listeria monocytogenes, MogR tightly represses expression of flagellin (FlaA) during extracellular growth at 37 degrees C and during intracellular infection.MogR is also required for full virulence in a murine model of infection.Using i
