This study identified, using PCR blaoxA,,23 encoding carbapenamase OXA-23 in 42 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) clinical iso- lates and blaOXA-40-like encoding carbapenamase OXA-40-like in one isolate (the first such Thai sample) obtained from patients admitted to Hua Hin Hospital, Thailand during November 2011-September 2012. Using repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR, the...

C++0x is the working title for the revision of the ISO standard of the C++ programming language that was originally planned for release in 2009 (but that will probably appear in 2011). The largest language extension in C++0x was “concepts”, that is, a collection of features for constraining template parameters. In September of 2008, the C++ standards committee voted the concepts extension into ...

As the creation of signed language resources is gaining speed worldwide, the need for standards in this field becomes more acute. This paper discusses the state of the field of signed language resources, their metadata descriptions, and annotations that are typically made. It then describes the role that ISOcat may play in this process and how it can stimulate standardisation without imposing s...

a r t i c l e i n f o Technological innovation has recently become more essential than ever. To examine the factors that might induce environmental technological innovation, we focus on ISO 14001, a voluntary approach to environmental management, and scrutinise how the proficiency or maturity level of ISO 14001 in facilities influences environment-related research and development (R&D) expendit...
