Tigecycline is a new glycylcycline antibiotic structurally similar to minocycline antibiotic. It has broad spectrum activity, including Staphylococcus aureus infections. This is the first study that evaluated the activity of Tigecycline against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from biological samples in Iran. In vitro activity of tigecycline against 160 Staphylococcus aureus including 99 methicil...

background: and objectives: salmonella infections are endemic in many developing countries with poor sanitary conditions, but emerge sporadically as a serious public health threat in developed countries. infections with multidrug resistant (mdr) strains of salmonella have been associated with treatment failures. salmonella spp. resistant to extended spectrum cephalosporins are increasing in pre...

we define a new type of spectrum, called δ-approximate spectrum, of an element a in a complex unital banach algebra a and show that the δ-approximate spectrum σ_δ (a) of a is compact. the relation between the δ-approximate spectrum and the usual spectrum is investigated. also an analogue of the classical gleason-kahane-zelazko theorem is established: for each ε>0, there is δ>0 such that if ϕ is...

We present the results of 5-GHz observations with the VLA A-array of a sample of candidate Compact Steep Spectrum sources (CSSs) selected from the S4 survey. We also estimate the symmetry parameters of high-luminosity CSSs selected from different samples of radio sources, and compare these with the larger sources of similar luminosity to understand their evolution and the consistency of the CSS...

Primordial magnetic fields generated in the very early universe are one of the candidates for the origin of magnetic fields observed in galaxy clusters. After recombination, the Lorentz force acts on the residual ions and electrons to generate density fluctuations of baryons. Accordingly these fluctuations induce the early formation of dark halos which cause the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (S-Z) effect ...

conclusions all the bacterial isolates were associated with a high resistance to various antibiotics and this resistant pattern could be confirmed by detection of a particular gene for each bacterium. objectives this study examined bacteremia in cancer patients from two medical centers regarding isolates and spectrum of antibiotic resistance pattern. patients and methods this was a prospective ...

A theorem of J. Hersch (1970) states that for any smooth metric on S, with total area equal to 4π, the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator acting on functions is less than or equal to 2 (this being the value for the standard round metric). For metrics invariant under the standard S-action on S, one can restrict the Laplace operator to the subspace of S-invariant functions and consi...

Let be a complex topological algebra with unit 1 and a family of proper closed ideals in . For an arbitrary S⊂ we define a globally defined joint spectrum σ (S)= {(λs)s∈S ∈ CS |∃ I ∈ (s− λs) ∈ I ∀s ∈ S}. We prove that for S generating the spectrum σ (S) can be identified with the setM of continuous multiplicative functionals f on such that ker f ∈ . The relation is given by the formula σ (S)= {...

We present an analytic calculation of the O(mα6) recoil and radiative recoil corrections to energy levels of positronium nS states and their hyperfine splitting. A complete analytic formula valid to O(mα6) is given for the spectrum of S states. Technical aspects of the calculation are discussed in detail. Theoretical predictions are given for various energy intervals and compared with experimen...

The prevalence of dementia is expected to increase exponentially worldwide. Global estimates of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) generally considered to be the most common subtype of dementia are expected to increase from the current estimated 25 million to 63 million in 2030, and by 2050, a staggering 114 million (Wimo et al., 2003). Traditional approaches in AD diagnosis (Diagnostic and Statistical M...
