A rapid carbohydrate utilization test for the identification of N. gonorrhoeae was investigated, with reference to its use in a routine diagnostic laboratory. The rapid test was shown to give accurate results in agreement with those of a conventional serum-free sugar medium. Because of the shorter time taken for the confirmation of an isolate, and several other advantages, it is proposed that t...

High yield synthesis of trans-[(Me(3)P)(OC)(3)Fe = BDur] (Dur, "Duryl" = 2,3,4,6-Me(4)C(6)H) is achieved by salt elimination and subsequent liberation of trimethylsilylbromide from K[Fe(CO)(3)(PMe(3))SiMe(3)] and Br(2)BDur.

On this, our 20th anniversary, we pay tribute to the women and men who made the ECC's foundation possible. They included the Hon. E.G. Whitlam QC, then Prime Minister of Australia; the Hon. J.M. Fraser, then Leader of the Opposition; the Hon. S.G. Mauger, then State Minister for Youth, Ethnic and Community Affairs, representing the Premier of NSW; the Hon. N.

Wireless Sensor Networks plays important role in our life so they need to be secured. In this paper we will first give introduction of basics of wireless sensor network and code dissemination technique. We will discuss the impact of reprogramming on WSN in parallel. we will introduce technique called Enhanced ECC to make WSN energy efficient.

Contractor renormalization (CORE) is a real-space renormalization-group method to derive effective Hamiltionians for microscopic models. The original CORE method is based on a real-space decomposition of the lattice into small blocks and the effective degrees of freedom on the lattice are tensor products of those on the small blocks. We present an extension of the CORE method that overcomes thi...
