In the electroweak sector of Standard Model, CP violation arises through a very particular interplay between three quark generations, as described by Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa (CKM) mechanism and single Jarlskog invariant $J_4$. Once generalized to Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), this peculiar pattern gets modified higher-dimensional operators, whose associated Wilson coefficients are u...

Despite many available social technologies for connecting at a distance, we don't always find opportunities to actively engage in shared experiences and activities with friends loved ones, even though this kind of interaction is associated increased closeness. To better support active engagement while also making it convenient interacting way, our work explores the design Opportunistic Collecti...

In this paper we describe the problems and challenges fa...

The frequency of invasive mycoses due to opportunistic fungal pathogens has increased significantly over the past two decades (35, 74, 83, 88, 89, 101, 106). This increase in infections is associated with excessive morbidity and mortality (33, 50, 108) and is directly related to increasing patient populations at risk for the development of serious fungal infections, which includes individuals u...

We read with interest the manuscript by Rello et al. published in Critical Care [1]. The authors conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled vaccine study against Pseudomonas aeruginosa among intensive care unit (ICU) patients and concluded that vaccination against P. aeruginosa failed to protect the patients from infection with this microorganism. Interestingly, invasive P. aeruginosa infection...

cystoisospora belli, formerly isospora belli , as an opportunistic infection agent, is seen in immunocompromised patients like htlv-1. we describe here cystoiso­sporiasis in an htlv1 iranian female in mashhad, northwestern iran in 2012 who presented with a debilitating diarrheal illness and great weight loss. c. belli was de­tected in her stool by modified acid-fast staining and then by molecul...
