We analyzed by multilocus sequence typing 77 lymphogranuloma venereum Chlamydia trachomatis strains from men who have sex with men in Europe and the United States. Specimens from an outbreak in 2003 in Europe were monoclonal. In contrast, several strains were in the United States in the 1980s, including a variant from Europe.

1. introduction the position of iran in the subtropical region that has made its arid and semiarid climate and the topographic diversity changes this trend of climate. therefore, climate hazards such as frost, flood, dust storm, drought, temperature anomalies, heavy rainfall, avalanches, snow, sleet, etc occur in iran. the northwest of iran experiences the above conditions following the arrival...

Categorical perception (CP) occurs when discrimination of items that cross category boundaries is faster or more accurate than discrimination of exemplars from the same category. Categorical perception of color is observed when, for example, a green stimulus and a blue stimulus are more easily distinguished than two stimuli from the same color category (e.g., two different shades of green). Col...

It is our conjecture that the variability of colors in a pathology image effects the interpretation of pathology cases, whether it is diagnostic accuracy, diagnostic confidence, or workflow efficiency. In this paper, digital pathology images are analyzed to quantify the perceived difference in color that occurs due to display aging, in particular a change in the maximum luminance, white point, ...

Starting from the colour-matching functions measured by Stiles–Burch for a 2◦ visual field and ten individual observers, published by Trezona we have discussed certain differences between this dataset and the CIE 1931 Standard Observer. Moreover, a Standard Deviate Observer (SDO) has been developed from this dataset, loosely following the method proposed by Nayatani et al . It should be borne i...

Perhaps one of the most fascinating and important subjects to be addressed in our industry over recent years is the effect of lamp spectral distribution on visibility. In the past, it has been widely accepted that under virtually all circumstances where artificial light is used, lighting level calculations could ignore spectral effects. In IESNA and CIE practice, recommended lighting levels do ...

This paper describes the Link-the-Wiki submission of Lycos Europe. We try to learn suitable anchor texts by looking at the anchor texts the Wikipedia authors used. Disambiguation is done by using textual similarity and also by checking whether a set of link targets “makes

Information on the diversity of fungal spores in air is limited, and also the content of airborne spores of fungal plant pathogens is understudied. In the present study, a total of 152 air samples were taken from rooftops at urban settings in Slagelse, DK, Wageningen NL, and Rothamsted, UK together with 41 samples from above oilseed rape fields in Rothamsted. Samples were taken during 10-day pe...
