Cutaneous Melioidosis Cluster Caused by Contaminated Wound Irrigation Fluid

Burkholderia pseudomallei in the tropics. A cluster of 5 cutaneous melioidosis cases occurred in suburban southwest Australia after an earlier case in January 2012. We collected environmental samples at the first patient’s home in January 2012 and from a nearby health center in December 2013 after 2 new cases occurred in the same postal district. We isolated genotypically identical B. pseudomal...

The milk drip.

certainly possible to improve the results of medical treatment in our present state of knowledge. First the diagnosis of ulcer should be established as early as possible after symptoms begin and thorough treatment with bed rest should be given at the onset; how rarely does one see a patient in a hospital bed with an ulcer history of less than a year? It is in this respect that our professional ...

Drip paintings and fractal analysis.

It has been claimed that fractal analysis can be applied to unambiguously characterize works of art such as the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock. This academic issue has become of more general interest following the recent discovery of a cache of disputed Pollock paintings. We definitively demonstrate here, by analyzing paintings by Pollock and others, that fractal criteria provide no informat...

Sub-barrier Fusion of Drip-line Nuclei

We discuss the role of break-up process of a loosely-bound projectile in subbarrier fusion reactions. Coupled-channels calculations are carried out for Be + Pb and 4,6He + U reactions by discretizing in energy the particle continuum states. Our calculations show that the coupling to the break-up channel has two effects, namely the loss of flux and the dynamical modulation of fusion potential. T...
