How should dispersal strategies be chosen to increase the likelihood of survival of a species? We obtain the answer for the spatially extended versions of three well-known models of two Wall Art competing species with unequal diffusivities.Though identical at the mean-field level, the three models exhibit drastically different behavior leading to d
Through the expression of the accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum sensing cascade, S.aureus is able to produce an extensive array of enzymes, hemolysins and immunomodulators essential to its ability to spread through the host tissues and cause disease.Many have argued for the discovery and development of quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) to augmen
Background: A majority of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have normal endoscopy.We aimed to investigate whether esophageal primary and secondary peristalsis influence esophageal reflux parameters in patients with normal endoscopy.Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with typical reflux symptoms and normal endoscopy.All pat
