Detecting carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) can be difficult. In particular, the absence of FDA-cleared automated antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) devices that use revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) carbapenem breakpoints for Enterobacteriaceae and the lack of active surveillance tests hamper the clinical laboratory. In this issue of the Journal of Cli...

Figure 11 Average depth of magma lens reflections beneath ridges versus spreading rate. The curved line shows the depth to the 12003C isotherm calculated from the ridge thermal model of Phipps Morgan J and Chen YJ (1993) Journal of Geophysical Research 98: 6283}6297. Data from different ridges are labeled Reykjanes Ridge (RR), Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdF), Costa Rica Rift (CRR), Lau Basin (Lau), no...

Moscow, 14–16 of November, 2012. enterprise (Hoskisson, Eden, Lau, & Wright, 2000). According to the 2011 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report (Kelley, Singer, & Herrington, 2011), between 3.7% (in Slovenia) and 14.2% (in Slovakia) of the population aged 18–64 in these countrie...

Other names: CCN1, GIG1, IGFBP10 HGNC (Hugo): CYR61 Location: 1p22.3 Note CYR61 (cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61; also named CCN1), first identified as a serum-inducible immediate-early gene, encodes a secreted, extracellular matrix-associated protein that regulates diverse cellular functions (Lau, 2011). CYR61 and five later identified homologs comprise the six-member CCN family, named aft...

Résumé. Soit H(x) = ∑ n≤x φ(n) n − 6 π2x. Motivé par une conjecture de Erdös, Lau a développé une nouvelle méthode et il a démontré que #{n ≤ T : H(n)H(n + 1) < 0} T. Nous considérons des fonctions arithmétiques f(n) = ∑ d|n bd d dont l’addition peut être exprimée comme ∑ n≤x f(n) = αx+ P (log(x)) + E(x). Ici P (x) est un polynôme, E(x) = − ∑ n≤y(x) bn n ψ ( x n ) + o(1) avec ψ(x) = x − bxc − 1...
