The phylogenetic position and some taxonomically relevant characteristics of a small, low-virulence bacterial parasite of cats are described. A 16S rDNA analysis revealed that the organism was in the Mycoplasma clade and was most closely related to a parasite of pigs previously designated Eperythrozoon suis. As the organism has not been cultured in vitro and is maintained in serial passage in c...

This chapter is concerned with how the processing power and multimedia capabilities of modern computers can be exploited to understand the workings of stories told in combinations of different types of media. Since the early days of digital technology, computers have been used to count and analyze words and patterns of words in texts, chiefl y under the rubric of corpus stylistics, and more gen...

Corynebacterium accolens is a rare human pathogen. We encountered a case of C. accolens isolated from a thigh collection in a man with osteomyelitis of the adjacent pubic symphysis.

I argue here that both the 1 and 2 laws of thermodynamics, generally understood to be quintessentially physical in nature, can be equally well described as being about certain types of information without the need to invoke physical manifestations for information. In particular, I show that the statistician’s familiar likelihood principle is a general conservation principle on a par with the 1 ...

This paper presents the effect of high environmental heat on behavior of the male Charles Foster rats. Eighty rats were divided into three groups, subjected to (i) acute heat stress (ii) chronic heat stress and (iii) handling control group. Animals were exposed to the hot environment in a biological oxygen demand incubator at 38 ± 1ºC (relative humidity 45-50%) for four hours of continuous sing...

Solution. We prove that n + m is a natural number using mathematical induction on n. • (Base case) When n = 0, we have 0 + m = m ∈ N for all m ∈ N by definition of addition. • (Induction step) Suppose that n + m ∈ N for all m ∈ N. What we want to prove is that (n++) + m ∈ N for all m ∈ N. But since n + m ∈ N by the induction hypothesis, (PA2) shows that (n++) + m = (n + m)++ ∈ N as desired. Thi...
