James Cross, Sandra I. Woolley and Chris Baber School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT 1. Abstract This presentation will discuss the results of an archaeological field trial using a wearable (PC/104) image capture system in order to demonstrate the potential of image sequence tagging methods for efficient data retrieval in docu...

We derive helicity amplitudes for diffractive leptoproduction of the S and D wave states of vector mesons. We predict a dramatically different spin dependence for production of the S and D wave vector mesons. We find very small R = σL/σT and abnormally large higher twist effects in production of longitudinally polarized D-wave vector mesons. Diffractive vector meson production γ∗ + p→ V + p′, i...

BACKGROUND NXL104 is a novel-structure beta-lactamase inhibitor with potent activity against both class A and class C enzymes. Among the class A carbapenemases, KPC-type enzymes are now spreading rapidly and KPC-related carbapenemase resistance is an emerging phenomenon of great clinical importance. The activity of NXL104 against KPC beta-lactamases was examined. METHODS Enzymatic activity of...

In the title compound, C(19)H(13)N(5)·C(4)H(8)O(2)·2H(2)O, the mol-ecular skeleton of the 2,6-bis-(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bbip) mol-ecule is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.023 Å). An extensive three-dimensional network of inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds consolidates the crystal packing, which also exhibits π-π inter-actions between the five- and six-membered...

We describe a light-cone wave function formulation for hadroproduction of heavy-flavors at high energies. At moderate values of xF heavy-flavor production can be viewed as a diffractive excitation of heavy quark-antiquark Fock states, present in the interacting gluon from the projectile. The approach developed here is well suited to address coherence effects in heavyquark production from nuclei...
