Optimal testing parameters for blood cultures.
The effects of volume of blood, number of consecutive cultures, and incubation time on pathogen recovery were evaluated for 37,568 blood cultures tested with the automated BACTEC 9240 instrument (Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems) at a tertiary care center over the period of 12 June 1996 through 12 October 1997. When the results for this study were compared with previous data publi...
متن کاملTwo Remarks Concerning Balanced Matroids
The property of balance (in the sense of Feder and Mihail) is investigated in the context of paving matroids. The following examples are exhibited: (a) a class of “sparse” paving matroids that are balanced, but at the same time rich enough combinatorially to permit the encoding of hard counting problems; and (b) a paving matroid that is not balanced. The computational significance of (a) is the...
متن کاملRemarks concerning Linear Characters of Reflection Groups
Let G be a finite group generated by unitary reflections in a Hermitian space V , and let ζ be a root of unity. Let E be a subspace of V , maximal with respect to the property of being a ζ-eigenspace of an element of G, and let C be the parabolic subgroup of elements fixing E pointwise. If χ is any linear character of G, we give a condition for the restriction of χ to C to be trivial in terms o...
متن کاملSome Remarks Concerning the Baum-Connes Conjecture
P. Baum and A. Connes have made a deep conjecture about the calculation of the K-theory of certain types of C∗-algebras [1, 2]. In particular, for a discrete group Γ they have conjectured the calculation of K∗(C r (Γ)), the Ktheory of the reduced C∗-algebra of Γ. So far, there is quite little evidence for this conjecture. For example, there is not a single property T group for which it is known...
متن کاملSome Examples and Remarks Concerning Groups
We present some examples and remarks which may be helpful to those who are dealing with an abstract algebra or a first semester group theory course. Alternating groups, dihedral groups, and symmetric groups of small orders are treasure troves of elementary examples and counter examples concerning groups.
