Some coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species affect udder health more than others.

A longitudinal study in 3 dairy herds was conducted to profile the distribution of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) species causing bovine intramammary infection (IMI) using molecular identification and to gain more insight in the pathogenic potential of CNS as a group and of the most prevalent species causing IMI. Monthly milk samples from 25 cows in each herd as well as samples from cl...

We have participated in the Dutch Monolingual task and submitted three runs. In this paper we introduce a new method for relevance computation using two new query operators. This method is meant to be applied to Multilingual Retrieval in t...

Are Some RISC-Based Clusters More Secure Than Others?

In February 2004, TechWise Research published a paper entitled: Total Cost of Ownership for Entry-Level and Mid-Range Clusters. That paper showed that HP OpenVMS/AlphaServer clusters average fewer hours of security-related downtime than IBM AIX/pSeries and Sun Solaris/Sun Fire clusters. TechWise Research decided to conduct a follow-up study to probe specifically into the area of cluster securit...
