Abstract Real-time prediction of Earth Orientation Parameters is necessary for many advanced geodetic and astronomical tasks including positioning navigation on in space. Rotation (ERP) are a subset EOP, consisting coordinates the Earth’s pole (PMx, PMy) UT1-UTC (or Length Day – LOD). This paper presents ultra-short-term (up to 15 days into future) short-term 30 ERP using geostatistical method ...

We introduce a generalized Gross-Neveu (GN) model to describe the excitonic instabilities in two different systems: small overlap semi-metal (SM) and gap semi-conductor (SMC), both (2d) three-dimensions (3d). identify order parameter (EOP) obtain effective potential within Large $N$ limit approach where GN can be exactly solved. insulator (EI) phase diagrams as function of temperature, chemical...

Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), which has been carried out for more than 35 years, is used to determine many parameters within the Earth-Moon system. This includes coordinates of terrestrial ranging stations and that of lunar retro-reflectors, as well as lunar orbit, gravity field, and its tidal acceleration. LLR data analysis also performs a number of gravitational physics experiments such as test ...

To establish effective therapeutic strategies for eosinophil-related disorders, it is critical to understand the developmental pathway of human eosinophils. In mouse hematopoiesis, eosinophils originate from the eosinophil lineage-committed progenitor (EoP) that has been purified downstream of the granulocyte/macrophage progenitor (GMP). We show that the EoP is also isolatable in human adult bo...

Bacteriophages are present in virtually all ecosystems, and bacteria have developed multiple antiphage strategies to counter their attacks. Clostridium difficile is an important pathogen causing severe intestinal infections in humans and animals. Here we show that the conserved cell-surface protein CwpV provides antiphage protection in C. difficile. This protein, for which the expression is pha...

OBJECTIVES Microbiological laboratory procedures are involved in diagnosis and therapy control of progressive and refractory forms of periodontitis. In recent years techniques have been developed based on the detection of nucleic acids. The purpose of this study was to validate the commercially available micro-Dent(R) test which employs probes for A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, P. int...

Abstract Advanced geodetic and astronomical tasks, such as precise positioning navigation require forecasted Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP). The Second Prediction Comparison Campaign (2nd EOP PCC) aims to compare various forecast methods implemented by different institutes from all over the world. Here we focus on universal time (UT1-UTC) Length-of-Day (LOD) predictions received in period b...

Using a screening procedure, three bacteriophages, ST27, ST29, and ST35, were identified with selective activity for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (SL1344) but not SL1344 tolC::aph. Overproduction of TolC led to a lower efficiency of plating (EOP), further suggesting that TolC was the target receptor. Activity against other serovars of Salmonella was observed but not against other spe...

We discuss the exceptional Laguerre and Jacobi orthogonal polynomials in framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM). express differential equations for (EOP) as eigenvalue make an analogy with time independent Schr\"odinger equation to define "Hamiltonians" enables us study EOPs SUSYQM realize underlying shape invariance associated such systems. show that symmetry is responsible sol...
