In this paper, we present some connections between tree automaton theory and hyperstructure theory. In this regard, at first we construct some hyperoperations on the set of trees and, specially, prove that one of them creates a join space. Also, we define a hyperoperation on the states of a tree automaton and, based on the properties of the tree automaton, we show that the proposed hyperoperati...

Warner (1966), Hewitt and Ross (1970), Yap (1970), and Yap (1971) extended the so-called Ditkin's condition for the group algebra L\G) of a locally compact abelian group G to the algebras L(G) Π L(G), dense subalgebras of L{G) which are essential Banach LHO-modules, LKG) Π L(G)(1 ^ p < co) and Segal algebras respectively. Chilana and Ross (1978) proved that the algebra L^K) satisfies a stronger...

Carbapenem resistance due to KPC has rarely been observed outside the United States. We noticed a sharp increase in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains possessing KPC in Tel Aviv Medical Center from 2004 to 2006. Sixty percent of the isolates belonged to a single clone susceptible only to gentamicin and colistin and carried the bla(KPC-3) gene, while almost all other clones carri...

A homomorphism of a hypergroup (H, ◦) is a function f : H → H satisfying f(x ◦ y) ⊆ f(x) ◦ f(y) for all x, y ∈ H. A homomorphism of a hypergroup (H, ◦) is called an epimorphism if f(H) = H. Denote by Hom(H, ◦) and Epi(H, ◦) the set of all homomorphisms and the set of all epimorphisms of a hypergroup (H, ◦), respectively. In this paper, the elements of Hom(Zn, ◦m) and Epi(Zn, ◦m) are characteriz...

An understanding of the impact of antibiotics on the intestinal reservoir of KPC carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is important to prevent its emergence. We used a mouse model to examine the effect of antibiotic treatment on the establishment and elimination of intestinal colonization with KPC-Kp. Mice (10 per group) received subcutaneous antibiotics daily for 8 days. On da...

conclusions the incidence of mbls producing p. aeruginosa in patients with cf was not low. the findings indicate that the identification of drug-resistance patterns in p. aeruginosa and the detection of mbl-producing isolates are important in the prevention and control of infections. background respiratory infections caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa play an important role in the pathogenesis of...

introduction klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important gram-negative bacteria causing hospital-acquired infections. case presentation in this report is presented a patient with an abdominal infection caused by carbapenemase producing-klebsiella pneumonia (k. pneumonia). in spite of administrating the combination therapy, successive resistance to last-resort antimicrobial agents (colist...

background and objectives: klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for up to 10% of nosocomial infections. the emergence and spread of multidrug resistant k. pneumoniae , mostly due to the production of extended-spec- trum β-lactamases (esbl) and carbapenemases, is often responsible for antibiotic treatment failure of these infections. we compared the antibiotic resistanc...
