objective(s): we investigated the contribution of gyra and parc mutational mechanism in decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility of acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn wound infections. materials and methods: ciprofloxacin susceptibility of 50 a. baumannii isolates was evaluated by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. pcr and sequencing were performed for detection of mutation in gyra...

The editorial materials in top medical and public health journals are opportunities for experts to offer thoughts that might influence the trajectory of the field. To date, while some studies have examined gender bias in the publication of editorial materials in medical journals, none have studied public health journals. In this perspective, we studied the gender ratio ...

  Clear cell variant of ependymoma is almost exclusively located in the supratentorial region. Only few cases of this tumor that located in the spinal cord have been reported. Here we report one case of intramedullary clear cell ependymoma of the lumbar spinal cord. In microscopic examination, the tumor cells were round to oval with moderate amounts of clear cytoplasm and centrally located lar...

This paper fortifies and defends the so called Sufficiency Argument (SA) against Classical Invariantism. In Sect. 2, I explain the version of the SA formulated but then rejected by Brown (2008a). In Sect. 3, I show how cases described by Hawthorne (2004), Brown (2008b), and Lackey (forthcoming) threaten to undermine one or the other of the SA’s least secure premises. In Sect. 4, I buttress one ...

Fossil chela of an erymid lobster from a single locality the upper Bajocian in Western Fore-Balkan Mts (NW Bulgaria) was studied. Two segments thoracic appendages, probably belonging to one individual, were described: 1) P1 propodus with partially preserved pollex and dactylus; 2) carpus merus attached. These elements first pair pereiopods identified as Eryma compressum (Eudes-Deslongchamps, 18...

in this paper we have proposed an approach for emotion detection in implicit texts. we have introduced a combinational system based on three subsystems. each one analyzes input data from a different aspect and produces an emotion label as output. the first subsystem is a machine learning method. the second one is a statistical approach based on vector space model (vsm) and the last one is a key...
