ABSTRACT Bacteriophage (phage) are both predators and evolutionary drivers for bacteria, notably contributing to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes by generalized transduction.Our current understanding of this complex relationship is limited.We used an interdisciplinary approach to quantify how these interacting dynamics can lead to

This paper investigates the controller synthesis problem for a multi-agent system (MAS) with intermittent communication.We adopt a relay-explorer scheme, where a mobile relay agent with absolute position sensors switches among a set of explorers with relative Beauty position sensors to provide intermittent state information.We model the MAS as a sw

An H-mode database of ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with improved diagnostics for a variety of different plasma conditions has been analysed to study the momentum removal in the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL).A strong reduction, up to a factor of 100, of the electron pressure Collections is observed close to the separatrix.Sets of L-mode and H-mode like plasma sim

In fast-growing microorganisms, a tRNA concentration profile enriched in major isoacceptors selects for the biased usage of cognate codons.This optimizes translational rate for the least mass invested in the translational apparatus.Such translational streamlining is thought to be growth-regulated, but its genetic basis is poorly understood.First, w

The Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat is a new model for obese type 2 diabetes.The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 1/2 nephrectomy (Nx) on renal function and morphology and on blood pressure in SDT fatty rats.Male SDT fatty rats underwent 1/2 Fetish Nx or a sham operation (Sham).Subsequently, animals were studie
