We investigated the use of multiprimer-PCR for detection of mycobacteria species in clinical samples. Three different mycobacterial genomic fragments were investigated: the IS6110 insertion sequence, present in M. tuberculosis complex; the genus specific fragment (32kDa); and from M. tuberculosis species-specific mtp40 gene. The sensitivity and specificity using 135 clinical isolates were 94.5%...

Cloud Computing (CC) environment has restructured the Information Age by empowering on demand dispensing of resources a pay-per-use base. Resource Scheduling and allocation is an approach ascertaining schedule which tasks should be carried out. Owing to heterogeneity nature resources, scheduling in CC considered as intricate task. Allocating best resource for cloud request remains complicated t...

This thesis describes neutron diffraction studies of the long-range magnetic ordering of superconducting ErNi2B2C and TmNi2B2C in an applied magnetic field. The magnetic structures in an applied field are especially interesting because the field suppresses the superconducting order parameter and therefore the magnetic properties can be studied while varying the strength of superconductivity. Er...

Abstract We prove a very general fixed point theorem in the space of functions taking values random normed (RN-space). Next, we show several its consequences and, among others, present applications it proving Ulam stability results for inhomogeneous linear functional equation with variables class f mapping vector X into an RN-space. Particular cases are instance equations Cauchy, Jensen, Jordan...
