The most virulent newborn meningitis-associated Escherichia coli are of the serotype O18:K1:H7. We previously isolated a large number of E. coli O18:K1:H7 mutants resulting from transposon TnphoA mutagenesis that fail to invade brain microvascular endothelial cells. We have now determined Ic locations of 45 independent insertions. Twelve were localized to the 98 min region, containing a 120 kb ...

An aqueous sodium ion battery (ASIB) with metal Zn as anode and Na₄Mn₉O18-reduced graphene oxide (Na₄Mn₉O18-RGO) as cathode has been developed. In this work, spherical Na₄Mn₉O18-RGO composite particles were prepared via spray drying. The aqueous battery exhibits stable cyclability and high specific capacities. Typically, a high initial discharge capacity of 61.7 mAh·g-1 is attained at a high cu...

This study documents the presence of local protectionism and quantifies its impacts on market competition social welfare in context China’s automobile market. A salient feature auto is that vehicle models by joint ventures state-owned enterprises command much higher shares their headquarter provinces than at national level. Through county border analysis, falsification tests, a consumer survey,...

Four aromatic hybrid Anderson polyoxomolybdates with Fe(3+) or Mn(3+) as the central heteroatom have been synthesized by using a pre-functionalization protocol and characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, ESI-MS, (1) H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Structural analysis revealed the formation of (TBA)3 [FeMo6 O18 {(OCH2 )3 CNHCOC6 H5 }2 ]⋅3.5 ACN (TBA-FeMo6 -bzn;...

This paper uses an institutional approach to investigate the relationship between the regional institutional environment and regional new firm formation. The importance of perceived attitudes regarding private enterprises, local taxes, political majority, the size of the government sector and perceived rules and bureaucracy on new firm formation in 286 Swedish municipalities are investigated. T...

The Effect of Migration on Income Growth and Convergence: Meta-Analytic Evidence We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of a region by one perc...

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge about the effect of new business formation on regional development. After a brief sketch of the origins of research on this issue, the main results of different lines of inquiry are discussed. Main issues are the development of start-up cohorts, the relative magnitude of direct and indirect effects, and results by type of entry and by industry, ...
