Some Commentary on Atle Selberg’s Mathematics

One way of characterizing Atle Selberg’s mathematical genius is that he had a “golden touch”. In those domains he thought about in depth, he saw further than generations before him, repeatedly uncovering truths lying below the surface. His breakthroughs on long-standing problems were based on imaginative and novel ideas which, once digested, were appreciated as simple and decisive. The impact o...

Partial atlE sequencing of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains from prosthetic joint infections.

Partial atlE sequencing (atlE nucleotides 2782 to 3114 [atlE(2782-3114)]) was performed in 41 Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates from prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and 44 isolates from skin as controls. The atlE(2782-3114) allele 1 (type strain sequence) was significantly more frequent in PJI strains (38/41 versus 29/44 in controls; P = 0.0023). Most PJI strains were positive for mecA, ic...

This paper gives an overview of the KULRoT 99 team. This team is based on our last year's team. The major problem we experienced with KULRoT 98 was a slow reaction time. The cause of this problem was related to bad synchronization and an insuucient notion of time. To tackle this problem, we switched to a new architecture that gives each soccer player a better notion of time. Preliminary results...
