The second sub-system, which has no name, consists of a maze of regulations, institutions and tax practices designed to influence the allocation of credit, and h...

It is well known that there are five classes of sloops of cardinality 16 " SL(16)s" according to the number of sub-SL(8)s [4, 6]. In this article, we will show that there are exactly 8 classes of nonsimple sloops and 6 classes of simple sloops of cardinality 20 "SL(20)s". Based on the cardinality and the number of (normal) subsloops of SL(20), we will construct in section 3 all possible classes...

Laser cooling and trapping of neutral molecules has made substantial progress in the past few years. On one hand, have more complex energy level structures than atoms, thus bringing great challenges to direct laser trapping; on other cold show advantages molecular collisions chemistry, as well applications many-body interactions fundamental physics such searching for symmetry violations. In rec...

From January to April 2012, 16 cases of W135 invasive meningococcal infection were reported in France. Of these, eight were linked to a recent travel history to Sub-Saharan Africa. These cases were reported in France concomitantly with the meningitis epidemic season in Sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the high number of travellers between France and West-African countries belonging to the so-cal...

The in vitro postantibiotic effects (PAEs), the postantibiotic sub-MIC effects (PA-SMEs), and the sub-MIC effects (SMEs) of DX-619 were determined for 16 gram-positive organisms. DX-619 pneumococcal, staphylococcal, and enterococcal PAE ranges were 1.7 to 5.0 h, 0.7 to 1.8 h, and 1.2 to 6.5 h, respectively. The PA-SME ranges (0.4x MIC) for pneumococci, staphylococci, and enterococci were 5.2 to...
