The comparative in vitro activities of two new oxazolidinone antimicrobial agents, U-100592 and U-100766, against 180 isolates of enterococci representing several resistance profiles were examined by using an agar dilution technique. The two oxazolidinones inhibited all isolates, including strains resistant to vancomycin, ampicillin, and minocycline, at concentrations between 1 and 4 micrograms...

Modern vehicles can be thought of as complex distributed embedded systems that run a variety automotive applications with real-time constraints. Recent advances in the industry towards greater autonomy are driving to increasingly connected various external (e.g., roadside beacons, other vehicles), which makes emerging highly vulnerable cyber-attacks. Additionally, increased complexity and in-ve...

‎let $r$ be a $*$-prime ring with center‎ ‎$z(r)$‎, ‎$d$ a non-zero $(sigma,tau)$-derivation of $r$ with associated‎ ‎automorphisms $sigma$ and $tau$ of $r$‎, ‎such that $sigma$‎, ‎$tau$‎ ‎and $d$ commute with $'*'$‎. ‎suppose that $u$ is an ideal of $r$ such that $u^*=u$‎, ‎and $c_{sigma,tau}={cin‎ ‎r~|~csigma(x)=tau(x)c~mbox{for~all}~xin r}.$ in the present paper‎, ‎it is shown that...

let g be a simple graph. the hosoya polynomial of g is ( , ) ,( , ) = { , } ( ) xd u v h g x  u v v gwhere d(u,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v . the dendrimer nanostar is apart of a new group of macromolecules. in this paper we compute the hosoya polynomial foran infinite family of dendrimer nanostar. as a consequence we obtain the wiener index andthe hyper-wiener index of th...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of nitrite test in comparison with urine culture (U/C) results in patients with Urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 203 patients with UTI symptoms. Middle urine sample was taken into sterile plastic containers, and simultaneously the urine sample and the nitrite...
