Background: In recent years, the widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in increased rates antibiotic resistance (ABR). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one most important opportunistic pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. continuously to commonly used clinical antimicrobial drugs, bringing great difficulties treatment. Objectives: This retrospective study investigated epidemiological c...

Despite the importance of electron correlation in first-principles description Li-ion cathode materials, Coulomb interaction parameter, U is often treated as an ad hoc value. In practice, one usually relies on empirical ways parametric treatment to optimally match experimentally observed physical properties such band gap or reaction energy. Here, using constrained random phase approximation (cR...

We present an ab initio derivation method for effective low-energy Hamiltonians of material with strong spin-orbit interactions. The Hamiltonian is described in terms the Wannier function spinor form, and interactions are derived constrained random phase approximation (cRPA) method. Based on this formalism developed code, we derive a interaction Ca5Ir3O12. This system consists three edge-shared...

Monoenergetic muon neutrinos at 236 MeV are readily produced in intense medium-energy proton facilities $(\ensuremath{\gtrsim}2--3\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GeV})$ when a positive kaon decays rest (KDAR; ${K}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$). These provide unique opportunity to both study the neutrino interaction and probe nucleus...

metallo-β-lactamase (mbl) producing pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported to be an important nosocomial infection. its intrinsic and acquired resistance to various antimicrobial agents and its ability to develop multidrug resistance imposes a serious therapeutic problem. different clinical samples were collected from public and private hospitals in baghdad city, iraq. bacterial identificatio...

This retrospective study evaluated trends and association between resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and hospital antimicrobial usage from 2003 through 2011 in a tertiary care hospital in northeast China. HAI was defined as occurrence of infection after hospital admission, without evidence that infection was present or incubating...

Adaptive antenna array processing is widely known to provide significant anti-interference capabilities within a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver. A main challenge in the quest for such receiver architecture has always been the computational/processing requirements. Even more demanding would be to try and incorporate the flexibility of the Software-Defined Radio (SDR) design ...

The Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) is being developed to provide navigation to support aircraft landings for the U.S. military. One variant of this is sea based JPALS, which will be implemented on aircraft carriers. Sea based JPALS will be a dual frequency carrier phase DGPS system. In order to meet strict accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability goals in the prese...

We investigated the relationship between the outer membrane protein OprD2 and carbapenem-resistance in 141 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected between January and December 2013 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in China. Agar dilution methods were employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of meropenem (MEM) and imipenem (IMP) for P...
