The Diet and Early Childhood Caries (DECC) Study: Validation of a Novel ECC Risk Assessment Tool and Investigation of Diet-Related ECC Risk Factors
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a highly prevalent disease afflicting approximately 28 percent of children in the U.S. under the age of 6 years (Bruce A Dye et al., 2007). ECC is a serious condition that can have profound health implications, including altered physical appearance, impaired ability …

Neuromuscular characteristics of eccentric contractions of the knee extensors and their muscle damage profiles
… force with lower muscle activation during eccentric (ECC) than isometric (ISO) and concentric (CON) contractions (actions). Unaccustomed ECC exercise induces muscle damage represented by prolonged impairment of muscle function and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), but also confers …

Elliptic Curve Cryptography on Heterogeneous Multicore Platform
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is becoming the algorithm of choice for digital signature generation and authentication in embedded context. However, performance of ECC and the underlying modular arithmetic on embedded processors remains a concern. At the same time, more complex system-on-chip …

Erwinia carotovora extracellular proteases: characterization and role in soft rot
… carotovora</u> subsp. <u>carotovora</u> (Ecc) strain EC14, a Gram-negative bacterium, causes soft rot on several crops, including potato. Maceration of potato tuber tissue is caused by secreted pectolytic enzymes. Other cell-degrading enzymes may also have roles in pathogenesis, including …

Evolution of a gene for pathogenicity: endo-pectate lyase
Erwinia carotovora subsp. Carotovora (Ecc) and Erwinia carotovora subsp. Atroseptica (Eca) are plant pathogenic bacteria that cause soft rot disease of many plant species and blackleg disease of potatoes, respectively. Ecc and Eca attack plants by means of a group of extracellular plant …
