Ground-based infrastructure consisting of wind tunnels and propulsion system test cells has been the predominant tool for the development of aeronautical systems since the Wright Brothers. With advances in modeling and simulation, as well as a reduced tempo for developing new major flight systems, it is reasonable to ask whether these aeronautical ground-test facilities will be needed in the fu...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infections are of particular concern within medical treatment facilities, yet the gene assemblages that give rise to this phenotype remain poorly characterized. In this study, we tested 97 clinical A. baumannii isolates collected from military treatment facilities (MTFs) from 2003 to 2009 by using a molecular epidemiological approach that enable...
