The effects of the accessory gene regulator (agr) and glucose on staphylococcal enterotoxin type C (SEC) gene (sec+) expression were examined. For the agr studies, a Tn551 insertionally inactivated agr was transferred into two different sec+ Staphylococcus aureus strains. Western blot (immunoblot) analysis showed that each of the sec+ Agr- derivatives produced less extracellular SEC than their ...

This Supplementary Material is organized as follows. In Sec. I, we present the linearization of the optomechanical Hamiltonian. Using the quantum master equation, we describe the covariance approach to calculate the mean phonon number in Sec. II. With this approach, we derive the steady-state cooling limit in Sec. III and the time evolution of mean phonon number in Sec. IV. In Sec. V, we calcul...

<sec>We present the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) mechanism of argon (Ar) plasma driven by a combination radio frequency (rf) voltage source and direct current (dc) at atmospheric pressure, based on one-dimensional self-consistent coupled fluid model. Using finite element method (FEM) to numerically calculate model, average value period electron density varying with gas in one rf per...

In this paper, considering optical feedback as an optical injection, and taking in to account round-trip time role in the external cavity, a standard small signal analysis is applied on laser rate equations. By considering the relaxation oscillation (f2) and external cavity frequencies (f) ratio for semiconductor laser, field amplitude response gain, optical phase and carrier number for long ex...
