Modern laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis.

One-third of the global population is believed to be infected with bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, the causative agent of tuberculosis. More than 8 million new cases of tuberculosis occur annually leading to 2 million deaths. Mortality is particularly high in those coinfected with HIV and where the bacteria are multiple-drug-resistant strains--ie, strains resistant to at lea...

A Cookbook for Variational Subdivision

These course notes will attempt to answer the following questions: What is subdivision? How can the rules for subdivision schemes be derived in a systematic manner? How can these rules be extended to handle special topological features such as extraordinary points or creases? We will argue that most subdivision schemes correspond to a special type of multigrid method that generates shapes which...

XAFS Data Interchange: A single spectrum XAFS data file format

We propose a standard data format for the interchange of XAFS data. The XAFS Data Interchange (XDI) standard is meant to encapsulate a single spectrum of XAFS along with relevant metadata. XDI is a text-based format with a simple syntax which clearly delineates metadata from the data table in a way that is easily interpreted both by a computer and by a human. The metadata header is inspired by ...
