A Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate was identified that had reduced susceptibility to several expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and imipenem. That isolate produced a chromosome-encoded SHV-type beta-lactamase, SHV-38, that had an alanine to valine substitution in position Ambler 146 compared to beta-lactamase SHV-1. The kinetic parameters for purified beta-lactamases SHV-38 and SHV-1 showed that the...

We present here a microscopic nuclear-structure calculation of $\ensuremath{\beta}$-electron spectrum including all the $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay branches high $Q$-value reactor fission product contributing significantly to antineutrino energy spectrum. perform large-scale nuclear shell-model calculations total electron for ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay $^{92}\mathrm{Rb}$ state...

A nosocomial pyogenic liver abscess caused by an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate presented in a man with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. The K. pneumoniae strain isolated from blood and liver aspirate cultures after antibiotic therapy for recurrent bacteremia was resistant to all extended-spectrum beta-lactams except imipenem and differed from K. pneumoni...

Fifteen nosocomial cases of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred among 132 neonates in a premature intensive care unit in Hungary in June through November 1998. Fourteen strains were indistinguishable by molecular biological typing and harbored the same single conjugative extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-encoding plasmid that was spontaneously found in a Ser...

Using the spectrum data for quality prediction always suffers from noise and colinearity, so variable selection method plays an important role to deal with spectrum data. An efficient elastic net with regression coefficients method (Enet-BETA) is proposed to select the significant variables of the spectrum data in this paper. The proposed Enet-BETA method can not only select important variables...
