Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, B, C, W, X, and Y cause outbreaks of meningococcal disease. Quadrivalent conjugate vaccines targeting the are available. A pentavalent vaccine that also includes serogroup X (NmCV-5) is under development.

We prove that a crossed product algebra arising from a minimal dynamical system on the product of the Cantor set and the circle has real rank zero if and only if that system is rigid. In the case that cocycles take values in the rotation group, it is also shown that rigidity implies tracial rank zero, and in particular, the crossed product algebra is isomorphic to a unital simple AT-algebra of ...

Abstract. This paper studies a regularization approach for simultaneously reconstructing spacetime dependent Robin coefficient γ(x, t) and heat flux q(x, t). The differentiability results and adjoint systems are established. A standard finite element method (FEM) is employed to discretize the constrained optimization problem which is reduced to a sequence of unconstrained optimization problem b...

S.typhimurium is a gram negative bacterium causing serious enteric or extraintestinal infections in human, cattle and birds. These kinds of infections may lead to some permanent or nonpermanent complications like endophthalmitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and osteomyelitis . Multi-resistant strains of S.typhimurium have been reported from several countries, and these infections are a major public...

In this paper, we investigate a formula to solve systems of the form (Bk + D)x = y, where Bk comes from a limited-memory BFGS quasi-Newton method and D is a diagonal matrix with diagonal entries di,i ≥ σ for some σ > 0. These types of systems arise naturally in large-scale optimization. We show that provided a simple condition holds on B0 and σ, the system (Bk + D)x = y can be solved via a recu...

for a symmetric group $g:=sym(n)$ and a conjugacy class $mathcal{x}$ of involutions in $g$, it is known that if the class of involutions does not have a unique fixed point, then - with a few small exceptions - given two elements $a,x in mathcal{x}$, either $angbrac{a,x}$ is isomorphic to the dihedral group $d_{8}$, or there is a further element $y in mathcal{x}$ such that $angbrac{a,y} cong ang...

Let d > 1, and let (X,α) and (Y, β) be two zeroentropy Z-actions on compact abelian groups by d commuting automorphisms. We show that if all lower rank subactions of α and β have completely positive entropy, then any measurable equivariant map from X to Y is an affine map. In particular, two such actions are measurably conjugate if and only if they are algebraically conjugate.

In the present paper, we obtain characterization results of double Hausdorff matrices and apply these to error estimation function f?(x, y), conjugate a f (x, y) (periodic with period 2? in both x generalized H?lder space by means its Fourier series. Some important corollaries are also obtained from our main result.
