The subject of this work is the use of microphone arrays for speech activity detection and noise suppression in the case of a moving speaker. The approach is based on the generalized likelihood ratio test applied to the framework of far-field, wideband moving sources (W-GLRT). It is shown that under certain distributional assumptions the W-GLRT provides a unifying framework for evaluation of Di...

The plasmid-encoded quinolone resistance gene qnrS1 was recently found to be commonly associated with ciprofloxacin resistance in Nigeria. We mapped the qnrS1 gene from an Escherichia coli isolate obtained in Nigeria to a 43.5 Kb IncX2 plasmid. The plasmid, pEBG1, was sufficient to confer ciprofloxacin non-susceptibility, as well as tetracycline and trimethoprim resistance, on E. coli K-12. Del...

A new genetic study has shown that the phagocytic ability of Drosophila blood cells, the hemocytes, may be important for the further induction of an antibacterial response in other tissues.

This study assessed the functional importance of residues located at the i(-2) position of face 4 of the tandem repeat loops of the quinolone resistance protein QnrVC7 through mutagenesis studies. The i(-2) position of face 4 on different coils required residues with different natures. Some substitutions reduced the protective activity of QnrVC7, while some of them increased it. These findings ...
