Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an important opportunistic pathogen that may cause invasive life-threatening infections, like sepsis and pneumonia. Due to the increasing antibiotic resistance, the development of an effective vaccine against S. aureus is needed. Although a correlate of protection against staphylococcal diseases is not yet established, several findings suggest that both anti...

We report on the detection of the lowest CO J = 1 − 0 transition in the powerful high-redshift radio galaxy 4C 60.07 at z = 3.79. The CO emission is distributed in two spatially and kinematically distinct components as was previously known from the observations of the higher excitation CO J = 4 − 3 line. The total molecular gas mass in 4C 60.07 inferred from the CO J = 1 − 0 emission is M (H2) ...

Some aspects of tricarboxylic acid-cycle activity during differentiation and aging in Dictyostelium discoideum were examined. The concentrations of glutamate, aspartate, alanine, citrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate and acetyl-CoA were determined at four stages over the course of differentiation. The rate of 02 utilization was also determined over differe...

Let c 3 be positive integer such that c; 4c+ 1; c 1 are square-free integers relatively prime in pairs. In this paper we …nd minimal index and determine all elements with minimal index in bicyclic biquadratic …eld K = Q p (4c+ 1) c; p (c 1) c .

This Article contains typographical errors in the keys of Figure 4c, 4d, 4e, and 4f. In Figure 4c, the values of the exponents for power-law decay of G 6 'η or ' have been incorrectly given as 'α '. In Figure 4e the values of the exponents for power-law decay of G K 'η p ' have been incorrectly given as 'α ' .

Decentralized applications do not have a single centralized authority that can safeguard peers in the system from malicious attacks. Each peer is autonomous and must adopt measures to protect itself. Reputation-based trust management systems enable peers to develop trust relationships with each other based on their reputations. These trust relationships help a peer determine the trustworthiness...

An isotopic method was developed to measure the in vivo rate of dephosphorylation of glucose 6-phosphate in brains of conscious rats. The rats were surgically prepared 20-24 h before the experiment by: 1) cannulation of the left carotid artery, 2) ligation of the left external carotid artery, and 3) ligation of the right internal carotid artery. A mixture of [2-3H,U-'4C]glucose was injected int...
