In 2017, a total of 9,093 new cases of tuberculosis (TB) were provisionally* reported in the United States, representing an incidence rate of 2.8 cases per 100,000 population. The case count decreased by 1.8% from 2016 to 2017, and the rate declined by 2.5% over the same period. These decreases are consistent with the slight decline in TB seen over the past several years (1). This report summar...

Feeds comprising methanol, dimethyl ether or a mixture of the two are oxidized by contacting the feed with an oxygen-containing gas and a supported heteropolyacid catalyst containing molybdenum or molybdenum and vanadium. The primary products are methylal (dimethoxymethane) and methyl formate. Production of dimethyl ether from methanol can be inhibited by partial deactivation of acid sites on t...

(57) ABSTRACT A method for the identification of chromosomal inversions is described. Single-stranded sister chromatids are generated, for example by CO-FISH. A plurality of non-repetitive, labeled probes of relatively small size are hybridized to portions of only one of a pair of single-stranded sister chromatids. If no inversion exists, all of the probes will hybridize to a first chromatid. I...
