Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the gene for surface layer protein, slpA, from 14 PCR ribotypes of Clostridium difficile
(Society for General Microbiology, 2006)Clostridium difficile is the commonest cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, with the hospitalized elderly being at particular risk. The organism makes a crystalline surface protein layer (S-layer), encoded by the slpA ... -
Soluble extracts from Helicobacter pylori induce dome formation in polarized intestinal epithelial monolayers in a laminin-dependent manner
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003)Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach at the interface between the mucus layer and the apical pole of gastric epithelial cells. A number of secreted and shed products from the bacteria, such as proteins and lipopolysaccharide, ... -
Telephony-based voice pathology assessment using automated speech analysis
(IEEE, 2006)A system for remotely detecting vocal fold pathologies using telephone-quality speech is presented. The system uses a linear classifier, processing measurements of pitch perturbation, amplitude perturbation and harmonic-to-noise ... -
Using broad phonetic group experts for improved speech recognition
(IEEE, 2007)In phoneme recognition experiments, it was found that approximately 75% of misclassified frames were assigned labels within the same broad phonetic group (BPG). While the phoneme can be described as the smallest ... -
Wash-free highly sensitive detection of C-reactive protein using gold derivatised triangular silver nanoplates
(2014)A rapid, wash-free highly sensitive detection method for C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is reported with both triangular silver nanoplate (TSNP) and Au-edge coated TSNP biosensor sols. The latter shows higher assay sensitivity ...
