摘要:
Described are methods and products useful for identifying subjects with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). A number of protein antigens secreted into culture filtrate by MAP are identified and binding proteins selective for these antigens are demonstrated to be useful for detecting subjects with MAP infections including subjects with Johne's disease.
摘要:
A composition comprising an isolated fowl adenovirus (FAdV), wherein the FAdV is a strain selected from FAdV-2, FAdV-7, FAdv-8a, FAdV-8b, FAdV-8a/8b or FAdV-11 serotype strains; and a suitable carrier and methods for inducing protective immunity in a subject and/or its progeny.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method for filtering sequence clusters during a process of merging a newly generated nucleotide or amino acid sequence with a set of previously clustered sequences. In another aspect, the disclosure provides a method for assigning newly generated nucleotide or amino acid sequences to presumptive species called operational taxonomic units. In yet another embodiment, the sequences are derived from the cytochrome c oxidase I gene.
摘要:
An active phage bio-ink composition and phage-based bioactive paper, wherein the phage is oriented and immobilized at the paper surface through heads, with the phage tail fibers free to capture target bacterial pathogens.
摘要:
A high performance acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer blend comprising ABS, polylactic acid (PLA), an acrylic copolymer based lubricant and a polymeric chain extender.
摘要:
The invention provides nucleotide sequences that can be used in operable association with a promoter to express a polynucleotide of interest in a plant, plant part or plant cell. Also provided are methods of increasing or decreasing the expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant, plant part or plant cell in response to nitrate, drought and/or rehydration.
摘要:
Novel metabolites and enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are disclosed. The novel metabolites are 3-OH-3-methylindolenine (HMI); 3-methyloxindole (3MOI); indole-3-carbinol (I-3C); and 2-aminoacetophenone (2-AM). Measuring levels of these metabolites in a pig may be useful in identifying the pig's ability to metabolize skatole and its susceptibility to boar taint. The novel enzymes involved in skatole metabolism are aldehyde oxidase and CYP2A6. Enhancing the activity of these enzymes may be useful in enhancing skatole metabolism and reducing boar taint. The identification of the enzyme also allows the development of screening assays for substances that interact with these enzymes and skatole metabolism or for genetic screening to identify pigs on the basis of their skatole metabolism. Pigs having high levels of these enzymes may be selected and bred to produce pigs that have a lower incidence of boar taint.
摘要:
Novel nucleic acid molecules encoding proteins involved in the synthesis and assembly of O-antigen in P. aeruginosa; and novel proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecules are described. Methods are disclosed for detecting P.aeruginosa in a sample by determining the presence of the proteins or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the proteins in the sample.
摘要:
There is provided systems and methods for counteracting an adversarial attack on an artificial neural network by determining out-of-distribution samples. One method including: receiving training data for the artificial neural network including a plurality of in-distribution samples in an input space; embedding the training data in the input space into a lower-dimensional embedded space; receiving one or more inputted samples and embedding the one or more inputted samples into the lower-dimensional embedded space; determining a score for each of the one or more inputted samples by determining a distance from each inputted sample to a distribution of the training data in the embedded space; classifying whether each of the one or more inputted samples is out-of-distribution by determining whether the score is greater than a predetermined distance from the distribution of the training data in the embedded space; and outputting the classification of each of the one or more inputted samples.
摘要:
There is provided systems and methods for adversarial sample generation and adversarial malware threat prevention. The method including: receiving an input executable sample; extracting features of the input executable sample and applying feature mapping to determine components of the features; determining a binary classifier representing whether the executable sample is adversarial using one or more machine learning models, the one or more machine learning models taking the components as input, the one or more machine learning models trained using, at least, generated adversarial samples, generating the generated adversarial samples includes determining code caves in training executable samples and inserting generated payloads as benign samples at the determined code caves; and where the binary classifier indicates adversarial, dropping the input executable sample, otherwise outputting the input executable sample.
