Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157:H7) causes hemorrhagic colitis and the formation of characteristic attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions in humans. Given the severe sequelae of EHEC O157:H7 infection, it is critical to develop effective vaccines for human use. However, for achieving this goal many hurdles need to be addressed, such as the type or subset of antigens, adjuvan...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important food-borne pathogen and cause of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. Cattle are an important reservoir of E. coli O157:H7, in which the organism colonizes the intestinal tract and is shed in the feces. Vaccination of cattle has signifi cant potential as a pre-harvest intervention strategy for E. coli O157:H7; however, basic infor...

The United States Air Force Research Lab is currently examining options to launch small satellites (<200 kg e.g., 440 lb) more economically and efficiently. This class of satellite is quickly becoming a government and industry mainstay due to their ability to inexpensively demonstrate new technology, test prototype operational hardware, as well as perform space experimentation. Most of existing...

Enteric diseases are a major cause of childhood death in the developing world, ranking as the second cause of death in children. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(EPEC) are important diarrheal pathogens of children under 5 years of age. Due to high mortality, several international organizations such as the WHO and UNICEF have dedicated preventive and control programs for diarrheal diseases. Amo...

The EXL experiment as a part of future FAIR facility [1] will provide the means for studying many physics phenomena in unstable exotic nuclei. Reactions will be done in inverse kinematics using new storage-ring techniques and a universal detector system providing high resolution and large solid angle coverage for kinematically complete measurements. Our work focuses on prototyping and testing D...
