ABSTRACT We present spectroscopy of the P Cygni profile 1.083-$\mu$m He i line in WC7+O5 colliding-wind binary (CWB) WR 140 (HD 193793), observed 2008, before its periastron passage 2009, and 2016–2017, spanning subsequent passage. Both absorption emission components showed strong variations. The variation component as O5 star was occulted by wind-collision region (WCR) sets a tight constraint ...

Using a comprehensive micro dataset spanning the period 1998-2005, this paper provides a systematic investigation of the relationship between financial structure and firm growth in China, controlling for the endogeneity of the former. It finds that financial structure does matter for firm growth in China, although this does not tell the whole story. The relative importance of the different fina...

Serological relationships between six type O FMD virus iso­ lates from different parts of India were studied using two-dimensional microneutralisation tests. All the strains in the study were shown to be related to the O5 subtype. The vaccine strain, O India 53/79, exhibited the broadest serological spectrum, although small differences were observed with isolates from Northern and Western India...

Serological analysis of the O and K antigens was performed on 324 isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus obtained from three hydrobiologically dissimilar aquatic environments. Only 50.9% of the strains could be serotyped. The largest number of untypable strains and the lowest serological diversity were observed from the freshwater collection. Three serotypes, O2:K28, O5:K17, and O2:K3, dominated a...

Yersinia species were isolated from 65 of 223 free-living small mammals trapped in 10 regions on Honshu Island in Japan. Of the 65 strains isolated, 1 was Yersinia enterocolitica serovar O3, 8 were Y. enterocolitica O5, 6 were Y. enterocolitica O8, 3 were Y. enterocolitica O9, and 1 was Yersinia pseudotuberculosis 4b. Of the six Y. enterocolitica O8 strains, five were positive for autoagglutina...

Our nanomineralogical investigation of melt inclusions in corundum xenoliths from the Mount Carmel area, Israel, has revealed seven IMA-approved new minerals since 2021. We report here first terrestrial occurrence kaitianite (Ti3+2Ti4+O5). Kaitianite occurs as exsolution lamellae tistarite (Ti2O3), a together with Ti,Al,Zr-oxide, MgTi3+2Al4SiO12 phase, spinel, sapphirine, Ti-sulfide, alabandite...

We report the 4.682-Mbp high-quality draft assembly of the Escherichia coli strain ATCC 23502 (serovar O5:K4:H4, also known as NCDC U1-41) genome. This uropathogenic strain, commonly referred to as E. coli K4, produces a glycosaminoglycan-like capsular polysaccharide with a backbone similar in structure to unsulfated chondroitin, a precursor to the nutraceutically and potentially pharmaceutical...
