Idempotents in Cyclic Codes
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cyclic codes give us the most probable method by which we may detect and correct data transmission errors. These codes depend on the development of advanced mathematical concepts. It is shown that cyclic codes, when viewed ... -
Identification and Characterization of alcR, a Gene Encoding an AraC-Like Regulator of Alcaligin Siderophore Biosynthesis and Transport in Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica
(East Carolina University, 1998-02)A Bordetella bronchiseptica iron transport mutant was isolated following an enrichment procedure based on streptonigrin resistance. The mutant displayed a growth defect on iron-restricted medium containing ferric alcaligin ... -
Identification and characterization of iron-regulated Bordetella pertussis alcaligin siderophore biosynthesis genes.
(East Carolina University, 1996-08)Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants BRM1, BRM6, and BRM9 fail to produce the native dihydroxamate siderophore alcaligin. A 4.5-kb BamHI-SmaI Bordetella pertussis genomic DNA fragment carried multiple genes required to restore ... -
Identification and Characterization of Optimal Gene Expression Markers for Detection of Breast Cancer Metastasis
(East Carolina University, 2005-08)Sentinel lymph node (SLN) status is highly predictive of overall axillary lymph node involvement in breast cancer. Historically, SLN-positive patients have undergone axillary lymph node dissection in a second ... -
Identification and mapping of two divergent, unlinked major histocompatibility complex class II B genes in Xiphophorus fishes.
(East Carolina University, 1998-08)We have isolated two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B genes from the inbred fish strain Xiphophorus maculatus Jp 163 A. We mapped one of these genes, designated here as DXB, to linkage group III, linked ... -
Identification of a circular intermediate in the transfer and transposition of Tn4555, a mobilizable transposon from Bacteroides spp.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)Transmissible cefoxitin (FX) resistance in Bacteroides vulgatus CLA341 was associated with the 12.5-kb, mobilizable transposon, Tn4555, which encoded the 13-lactamase gene cfxA. Transfer occurred by a conjugation-like ... -
