Serotyping is the foundation of pathogenic Escherichia coli diagnostics; however, few laboratories have this capacity. We developed a molecular serotyping protocol that targets, genetically, the same somatic and flagellar antigens of E. coli O26:H11 used in traditional serotyping. It correctly serotypes strains untypeable by traditional methods, affording primary laboratories serotyping capabil...

Prolate-oblate shape coexistence close to the ground state in strongly-deformed proton-rich A?120 nuclei is reported for first time. One of four bands 119Cs, built on a 11/2? at 670 keV, consists nearly degenerate signature partners, and has properties which unequivocally indicate strongly-coupled ?h11/2[505]11/2? configuration associated with oblate shape. Together decoupled ?h11/2[541]3/2? ba...

In this report we describe the detection and duration of fecal shedding of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coil (STEC) O157 and non-O157 in symptomatic and asymptomatic cases during four events occurred among children in day-care centers in Argentina. In each event, the cases were identified among children, family contacts and staff members of the Institution. The isolates were characterized ...

We construct a complete 11–span of H(4, 4) admitting the group PSL2(11). This span turns out to be associated with the unique Hadamard design H11 and the so-called Petersen design.

Background: Cowpea is a major pulse crop in India. Developing cowpea cultivars with high yield and sustainable protein content contributes to food nutritional security. Hybridization followed by careful selection of genotypes from the early segregating populations may produce final cultivar coupled content. Methods: The genetic material used present investigation were derived crosses three i.e....

The high-temperature oxidation of hot-work tool steel AISI H11 was studied. investigated in two conditions, the soft annealed condition, and hardened tempered condition. First, calculations compositions oxide layers formed were carried out using CALPHAD method. samples oxidised a chamber furnace simultaneous thermal analysis instrument, for 100 h temperature range between 400 °C 700 °C. first u...

Analysis of the economic effects of constitutional rules has made substantial progress over the last decade. This survey provides an overview of this rapidly growing research area and also discusses a number of methodological issues and identifies underresearched areas. It argues that the next logical step of Positive Constitutional Economics is to endogenize constitutional rules. JEL classific...
