BACKGROUND Buruli ulcer (BU), one of 17 neglected tropical diseases, is a debilitating skin and soft tissue infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. In tropical Africa, changes in land use and proximity to water have been associated with the disease. This study presents the first analysis of BU at the village level in southwestern Ghana, where prevalence rates are among the highest globally,...

Three octanuclear phosphonate clusters, formulated as [Ln8(O3P(t)Bu)6(μ3-OH)2(H2O)2(HO(i)Bu)(O2C(t)Bu)12](NH3(i)Pr)2 (Ln = Gd, Dy and Tb), were synthesised by refluxing a mixture of pivalic acid (HO2C(t)Bu), Ln(NO3)3·6H2O, tert-Butyl phosphonic acid (H2O3P(t)Bu) and isopropylamine ((i)PrNH2) in isobutyl alcohol (i)BuOH.

In this paper we define a new clausal class, called BU , which can be decided by hyperresolution with splitting. We also consider the model generation problem for BU and show that hyperresolution plus splitting can also be used as a Herbrand model generation procedure for BU and, furthermore, that the addition of a local minimality test allows us to generate only minimal Herbrand models for cla...
