In view of high computational time needed for carrying out buckling analysis at every time increment, the elastoplastic analysis is carried out only at a few critical time steps which are identified based on strain energies that are associated with the shear and compressive stresses developed at the portions of the vessels prone to buckle.
The published genome sequence is based on strain A4, and so differences between the A91 and reference sequences allowed us to identify SNP markers for our population.
The study is based on surveillance of circulating strains identified at two Brazilian cities situated in two places of the tropics of special interest: one is at the core of the tropical region, at a few kilometers from the equatorial line, and the other at its southern boundary – in fact crossed by the tropic of Capricorn line (figure 1).
Moreover, damage indexes based on identified macro strain modal shapes are investigated for structural damage detection.
The CEN sequence was isolated from C. glabrata strain BG2 centromere H, based on previously identified C. glabrata centromeric sequences (Kitada et al. 1996).
Sequence types (STs) were determined for each strain based on the alleles identified at each of the seven loci using the S. aureus MLST database (http://www.mlst.net) (Table S1).
MTB complex were cultured from 240 children in 2008, including 36 (15.0%) isolates that were considered to be possible Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) strain, based on being exclusively identified from lymph node aspirates.
Sequence types (STs) for each SA strain were obtained based on the alleles identified at each of the seven loci using the SA MLST database (http:// http://www.mlst.net).net
SPOTCLUST uses mixture models based on spoligotypes to identify strain families of MTBC.
A Japanese group also reported that the novel GII.17 variants might have emerged and circulated in East Asia in recent years and the emerging GII.17 variants have different evolutionary histories than GII.17 strains identified earlier based on a time-scaled phylogenetic tree.
Based on the strains tested in this study, these probes successfully identified and differentiated 11 of the 12 antigens targeted.
