This article examines Inca (AD 1400–1532) funerary contexts using a meta-study of published archaeological data. To date, ethnohistory has been the main means dealing with this theme, and syntheses based on record have mostly absent. One hundred forty are compared from Cusco area three Inca-conquered regions pertaining to Late Horizon, leading identification patterns contrasts in these differen...

OXA-48-like beta-lactamase producing bacteria are now endemic in several European and Mediterranean countries. Among this carbapenemase family, the OXA-48 and OXA-181 variants predominate, whereas other variants such as OXA-204 are rarely reported. Here, we report the molecular epidemiology of a collection of OXA-204-positive enterobacterial isolates (n = 29) recovered in France between October...

The bacterial enzyme New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase hydrolyzes almost all β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, which are drugs of last resort for severe bacterial infections. The spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae that carry the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase gene, blaNDM, poses a serious threat to public health. In this study, we genetically characterized eight carbapenem-...

Hybrid UAVs have gained a lot of interest for their combined vertical take-off & landing (VTOL) and efficient forward flight capabilities. But control is facing challenges in over-actuation conflicting requirements depending on the phase which can easily lead to actuator saturation. Incremental Non-linear Control Allocation (INCA) has been proposed solve platform’s allocation problem case s...
