CHARACTERIZATION OF QUORUM REGULATORY SMALL RNAS IN AN EMERGING PATHOGEN VIBRIO FLUVIALIS AND THEIR ROLES TOWARD TYPE VI SECRETION SYSTEM VFLT6SS2 MODULATION

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is essential for Gram-negative bacteria to antagonize a wide variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic competitors and thus gain survival advantages.Two sets of T6SS have been found in Vibrio fluvialis, namely VflT6SS1 and VflT6SS2, among which VflT6SS2 is functionally expressed.The CqsA/LuxS-HapR quorum sensing (QS)

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have emerged as a hardware efficient architecture for classification tasks.The challenge of spike-based encoding has been the lack of a universal training mechanism performed entirely using spikes.There have been several attempts to adopt the powerful backpropagation (BP) technique used in non-spiking artificial neura

Building fabric retrofitting is an important first step in improving building energy efficiency.The United Kingdom’s (UK) housing stock is one of the most inefficient in Europe, and Northern Ireland has the second-highest level of fuel poverty in the UK.This chainsaw file Northern Irish case study developed three fabric retrofit scenarios that es

Chemical crop protection is widely used to control plant diseases.However, the adverse effects of pesticide use on human health and environment, resistance development and the impact of regulatory requirements on the crop protection market urges the agrochemical industry to explore innovative il barone wine and alternative approaches.In that contex
