Nonomuraea mangrovi sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from mangrove soil.

A novel aerobic actinomycete, designated HA15826, was isolated from a mangrove soil sample collected in Sanya, China. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the isolate produced straight to slightly flexural spore chains with rough cylindrical spores. Chemotaxonomic tests showed that the cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, 10-methyl-C17 : 0, C17 : 1ω8c and C16 : 0.

Streptomyces caeni sp. nov., isolated from mangrove mud.

A novel aerobic actinomycete, designated as HA15955, was isolated from a mangrove mud sample collected in Sanya, China. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that HA15955 produced straight to spiral spore chains with smooth cylindrical spores. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that strain HA15955 belonged to the genus Streptomyces, was most closely related to Streptomyces speibonae NRRL B-24240 (98.

Deep Patient Similarity Learning for Personalized Healthcare.

Predicting patients' risk of developing certain diseases is an important research topic in healthcare. Accurately identifying and ranking the similarity among patients based on their historical records is a key step in personalized healthcare. The electric health records (EHRs), which are irregularly sampled and have varied patient visit lengths, cannot be directly used to measure patient similarity due to the lack of an appropriate representation.
