TL;DR: Results showed that some bacterial groups were significantly associated with specific families, indicating that microbiota composition may be influenced by the host, and the effect of diet on microbiota composition was dependent on the trout family.
Abstract: This study assessed the relative contributions of host genetics and diet in shaping the gut microbiota of rainbow trout. Full sibling fish from four unrelated families, each consisting of individuals derived from the mating of one male and one female belonging to a breeding program, were fed diets containing either vegetable proteins or vegetable oils for two months in comparison to a control diet consisting of only fish protein and fish oil. Two parallel approaches were applied on the same samples: transcriptionally active bacterial populations were examined based on RNA analysis and were compared with bacterial populations obtained from DNA analysis. Comparison of temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) profiles from DNA and RNA showed important differences, indicating that active bacterial populations were better described by RNA analysis. Results showed that some bacterial groups were significantly (P<0.05) associated with specific families, indicating that microbiota composition may be influenced by the host. In addition, the effect of diet on microbiota composition was dependent on the trout family.

TL;DR: This techical note deals with interval state observer design for time-varying discrete-time systems and the problem of a similarity transformation computation which connects a (time- varying) matrix and its nonnegative representation is studied.
Abstract: This techical note deals with interval state observer design for time-varying discrete-time systems. The problem of a similarity transformation computation which connects a (time-varying) matrix and its nonnegative representation is studied. Three solutions are proposed: for a generic time-varying system, a system with positive state, and for a particular class of periodical systems. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate advantages of the developed techniques.

24 Jun 1996TL;DR: The controlled-siphon property is defined that generalizes the well-known Commoner's property, since it involves both traps and invariants notions, and it is proved that this property is a necessary and sufficient liveness condition for simple nets and asymmetric choice nets.
Abstract: Structure theory of Petri nets investigates the relationship between the behavior and the structure of the net. Contrary to linear algebraic techniques, graph based techniques fully exploit the properties of the flow relation of the net (pre and post sets). Liveness of a Petri net is closely related to the validation of certain predicates on siphons. In this paper, we study thoroughly the connections between siphons structures and liveness. We define the controlled-siphon property that generalizes the well-known Commoner's property, since it involves both traps and invariants notions. We precise some structural conditions under which siphons cannot be controlled implying the structural non-liveness. These conditions based on local synchronization patterns cannot be captured by linear algebraic techniques. We establish a graph-theoretical characterization of the non-liveness under the controlled-siphon property. Finally, we prove that the controlled-siphon property is a necessary and sufficient liveness condition for simple nets and asymmetric choice nets. All these results are illustrated by significant examples taken from literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the primary or secondary structure of single-stranded nucleic acids has been investigated with fluorescent oligonucleotides, i.e., oligon nucleotides covalently linked to a fluorescent dye.
Abstract: The primary or secondary structure of single-stranded nucleic acids has been investigated with fluorescent oligonucleotides, i.e., oligonucleotides covalently linked to a fluorescent dye. Five different chromophores were used: 2-methoxy-6-chloro-9-amino-acridine, coumarin 500, fluorescein, rhodamine and ethidium. The chemical synthesis of derivatized oligonucleotides is described. Hybridization of two fluorescent oligonucleotides to adjacent nucleic acid sequences led to fluorescence excitation energy transfer between the donor and the acceptor dyes. This phenomenon was used to probe primary and secondary structures of DNA fragments and the orientation of oligodeoxynucleotides synthesized with the alpha-anomers of nucleoside units. Fluorescence energy transfer can be used to reveal the formation of hairpin structures and the translocation of genes between two chromosomes.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to characterize high-cycle fatigue behavior of high-strength spring steel wire by means of an ultrasonic fatigue test and analytical techniques, and the experimental results show that fatigue rupture can occur beyond 107 cycles.
Abstract: An attempt has been made to characterize high-cycle fatigue behaviour of high-strength spring steel wire by means of an ultrasonic fatigue test and analytical techniques. Two kinds of induction-tempered ultra-high-strength spring steel wire of 6.5 mm in diameter with a tensile strength of 1800 MPa were used in this investigation.
The fatigue strength of the steel wires between 106 and 109 cycles was determined at a load ratio R = −1. The experimental results show that fatigue rupture can occur beyond 107 cycles. For Cr–V spring wire, the stress–life (S–N ) curve becomes horizontal at a maximum stress of 800 MPa after 106 cycles, but the S–N curve of the Cr–Si steel continues to drop at a high number of cycles (>106 cycles) and does not exhibit a fatigue limit, which is more correctly described by a fatigue strength at a given number of cycles. By using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the crack initiation and propagation behaviour have been examined. Experimental and analytical techniques were developed to better understand and predict high-cycle fatigue life in terms of crack initiation and propagation. The results show that the portion of fatigue life attributed to crack initiation is more than 90% in the high-cycle regime for the steels studied in this investigation.
