pHN1122-1 carrying bla(CTX-M-55), from an Escherichia coli isolate from a dog, was completely sequenced. pHN1122-1 has an IncI2 replicon and typical IncI2-associated genetic modules, including mok/hok-finO-yafA/B, nikABC, and two transfer regions, tra and pil, as well as a shufflon. bla(CTX-M-55) is found within a 3.084-kb ISEcp1 transposition unit that includes a fragment of IncA/C plasmid bac...

We begin with an introduction of superconductivity by giving a brief history of the phenomenon. The phenomenological Ginzburg–Landau theory and the microscopic theory of Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer are outlined. In view of recently available multi-band superconductors, relevant theories of both types are discussed. Unlike the traditional GL theory an extended GL theory is developed relevant ...

We study how black hole superradiance appears in string microscopic models of rotating black holes. In order to disentangle superradiance from finite-temperature effects, we consider an extremal, rotating D1-D5-P black hole that has an ergosphere and is not supersymmetric. We explain how the microscopic dual accounts for the superradiant ergosphere of this black hole. The bound 0 < ω < mΩH on s...

The erotic literature of ancient China constitutes an inexhaustible source of information on ejaculation control techniques, which remain valid today and are the source of the techniques advocated by contemporary sex therapists. To cite this journal: Androl. 20 (2010).

Although the relationship between minimal free resolutions and Koszul cohomology has been known for a long time, it has been difficult to find a way to fully utilize the " exterior " nature of the Koszul classes. The technique used here seems to be one way to begin to do this. We prove a conjecture of Eisenbud-Koh-Stillman on linear syzygies and in consequence a conjecture of Lazarsfeld and mys...

Before proceeding, we make the following observations: First, for each student, applying to a college dominates not applying at all. Second, since a student does not know the score and the student’s preference is independent of the score, the student’s application depends solely on the preference. Third, since each student’s preference depends on the state, the mass of students applying to each...

Abstract The local field correction to the spontanous dacay rate of an impurity source atom imbedded in a disordered dielectric is calculated to second order in the dielectric density. The result is found to differ from predictions associated with both ”virtual” and ”real” cavity models of this decay process. However, if the contributions from two dielectric atoms at the same position are inclu...

Non-supersymmetric black holes carrying both electric and magnetic charge with respect to a single Kaluza-Klein gauge field have much in common with supersymmetric black holes. Angular momentum conservation and other general physics principles underlies some of their basic features. Kaluza-Klein black holes are interpreted in string theory as bound states of D6-branes and D0branes. The microsco...
