Nonpigmented and late-pigmenting rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) have been reported to commonly colonize water production and distribution systems. However, there is little information about the nature and distribution of RGM species within the different parts of such complex networks or about their clustering into specific RGM species communities. We conducted a large-scale survey between 2...

It is an essential demand to establish an effective financial risk early-warning system for financial security. But some factors have a lagging effect on financial risk. So this paper aims to construct a reasonable and practical indicator system for financial risk early-warning. First, determine the explained variables of the indicator made up by Chinese financial stress index. Second, confirm ...

In order to research the stability and the inner community structure of the international stock network, this paper, based on complex network theory, by calculating the correlative relationship of the stock market index in different countries, and then, used the thrice MST and set up the network model of the stock markets in different countries. The influence-strength analysis was made use of t...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the self-care behavior, hope, and social support in patients awaiting heart transplantation and to explore all the correlative and related factors. METHODS In total, 45 participants who met the selection criteria were selected by purposive sampling from four medical centers in Taiwan. The three instruments Self-Care Behavior Scale, Herth Hope...

The ability to use GFP-tagged proteins to perform correlative light and electron microscopy has been a desirable but elusive method. The high quantum yield of GFP that makes it excellent for fluorescence imaging also makes it extremely inefficient for production of the reactive oxygen needed to trigger formation of an electron-dense precipitate for electron microscopy. This roadblock has finall...

Correlative high speed AFM and florescence microscopy to reveal membrane reshaping by septins.

Comparative correlative constructions (the more you run, the more you sweat) are widespread across the languages of the world (Taylor, 2006). Nonetheless, the peculiarities of this construction raise questions that challenge our understanding of the syntax of this specific construction and, more broadly, of how the core and the periphery of Universal Grammar (UG) are organized (Culicover and Ja...

Two powerful and complementary techniques for chemical characterisation of nanoscale systems are electron energy-loss spectroscopy in the scanning transmission electron microscope, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the scanning transmission X-ray microscope. A correlative approach to spectro-microscopy may not only bridge the gaps in spatial and spectral resolution which exist between the tw...

We propose a novel, robust scheme for data hiding/ oblivious detection of watermarks in still images. While the low-frequency image coe cients are robust, they cannot be used e ectively for oblivious detection methods, when correlative processing is employed for detection. However, in the proposed non-linear detection method, the robust low-frequency bands can be used e ectively. Thus the propo...
