In the title compound, C(6)H(9)N(3)O(3), the 3-diazo-2-oxopropan-amide section of the mol-ecule is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.025 (1) Å from the mean plane of its constituent atoms. The diazo C=N=N angle is 178.0 (3)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite double chains along the [100] direction. The double ch...

Organizations invest in information technology (IT) looking for positive results that can only be produced if the technology is effectively used by individuals. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) applies a simple and quantitative model to predict intention of use, but it has difficulties to keep its explanatory power when analyzing implementation in mandatory settings (which are usual in bus...

This paper proposes an alternate structure for C++ compilers. Type analysis is removed from the compiler and replaced with a type system library which is treated as source code by the compiler. Type computations are embedded in the intermediate language of the compiler, and partial evaluation is used to drive type analysis and template in-stantiation. By making simple changes to the behavior of...

Of 104 genotypically diverse methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates tested with the MicroScan WalkAway (Pos MIC 24 panel) and Vitek 2 (AST-P549 card) systems, 7 and 6 isolates, respectively, showed an oxacillin MIC of < or =2mg/liter. Most of these MRSA isolates were community acquired. However, if the cefoxitin screen of AST-P549 was also considered, MRSA detection failed ...
