conventional methods for fungal identification in the clinical laboratory rely on morphological andphysiological tests. these tests often need several days or weeks to complete and are frequentlyunspecific. molecular identification mostly implies sequencing, which is relatively expensive andtime-consuming, as well as impractical for large numbers of isolates. the rolling circleamplification app...

There is no need to try to ease into the discussion because the issue being discussed here is too involved to waste words that way. It is important to get right to the point. The starting premise is that we seek to understand the world in which we live. This leads immediately to a whole set of related premises that define the problem as being the answer to the question “how we can obtain that w...

In this note, we follow the strategy of Haller, Rybicki and Teichmann to give a short, self contained, and elementary proof that Diff0(M) is a perfect group, given a theorem of Herman on diffeomorphisms of the circle.

Huizinga [Hui71] identifies several formal characteristics which games share with magic rituals that are bound to a ”magic circle”. He states that games are explicitly defined by the space within which they take place, the time a game or play lasts, and the rules that are active during the game/play. Participants of a game must freely agree to these changes in their ordinary life to be part of ...

In molecular resolution refutation, the detection of empty clauses is important. We propose a rolling circle amplification-based detection method for resolution refutation. The rolling circle amplification (RCA) technique is known to be able to distinguish and amplify circular DNA. In this paper, we describe the representation of clauses and the RCA-based detection method. Bio-lab experiments s...
