Antibiotic pretreatment inhibits white band disease infection by suppressing the bacterial pathobiome by Jason D. Selwyn, Jason D. Selwyn, Brecia A. Despard, Brecia A. Despard, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Kai A. Galvan-Dubois, Emily C. Trytten, Emily C. Trytten, Steven V. Vollmer, Steven V. Vollmer

“…We found the prophylactic use of antibiotics led to significantly reduced infection rates in disease exposed corals with a 30-percentage point decrease in the infection rate. Analyses of 16S rRNA amplicon gene sequencing data in the disease exposed corals demonstrated that antibiotic pretreatment resulted in coral microbiomes which were less speciose and contained relatively fewer Vibrio spp. than untreated corals, indicating that the benefit of the antibiotic pretreatment was its ability to reduce the relative abundance of intrinsic secondary opportunists and/or opportunistic pathogens suggesting their likely importance to the etiology of WBD. …”

Scheme of extending elliptic curve method to three phases by Guiwen LUO

“…Elliptic curve method for integer factorization (ECM) is one of the most popular integer factorization algorithms,and it was firstly proposed by Lenstra in 1985.The original ECM contained just first phase.Since its invention,researches about the algorithm and implementation emerged up,among which the most important improvement is the extension to two phases proposed by Brent and Montgomery.This improvement tremendously strengthened ECM's capacity and efficiency.Elliptic curve method was extended to three phases.Extension method is kind of like “mixing together” the first phase and second phase.Compared to the best current two phases ECM,the new algorithm shows 2 advantages.First,under the same factorization parameters,the proposed algorithm improves the probability of finding out prime factor at the expense of negligible increasement of time.Second,when searching the same prime factor,the proposed algorithm can utilize smaller “smoothness parameters”.…”
