Of 500 hospital-onset Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia events (58% methicillin-susceptible S. aureus [MSSA]; 42% methicillin-resistant S. aureus [MRSA]), we found no significant differences in S. aureus bacteremia rates between medium-sized and large hospitals. However, the proportion of S. aureus bacteremia caused by MSSA was greater in medium-sized hospitals and did not correlate with MRSA ba...

Also known as... ancient DNA. The New Shorter Oxford Dictionary offers the precise explanation of ‘ancient’ as ‘belonging or pertaining to the period before the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476.’ DNA can be recovered from fossils much older than 1500 years, but the inevitable time-dependent decay of the DNA structure due to oxidation and hydrolysis makes retrieval increasingly difficu...

Scarcely is GPRS on the market, before the next development, EGPRS, appears on the horizon. EGPRS is intended to achieve data rates up to 364 kbit/s, thus also covering typical 3G applications. With a view to fast data transmission, network operators in North America in particular have shifted their focus from TDMA IS136 to GSM in recent months, and so given extra impetus to the GSM850 and EGPR...

2014 A transfer-matrix method is used to calculate the correlation length for strips of finite width in the bond and site percolation problem. From the knowledge of these correlation lengths we compute the thresholds and the critical exponent 03BD by the phenomenological renormalization method.
