This report is an extension of the NIST “Studies of one-to-one Fingerprint Matching with Vendor SDK Matchers” which evaluated the accuracy of SDK (Software Development Kit) based COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) fingerprint matching systems for one-toone verification applications [1]. Fingerprint matching systems from twelve vendors were evaluated. The two finger matching evaluation is an extens...

As part of an effort to identify informative molecular markers for genetic analysis of human pedigrees segregating for obesity, we have developed a genetic map of human 1p in the region of the OB receptor (OBR), the gene that is defective in murine diabetes (Obrdb) and rat Zucker fatty (Obrfa) mutations located on mid-chromosome 4 and chromosome 5, respectively. OBR was mapped 0.9 cR centromeri...

Two new carbapenem antibiotic-producing actinomycetes, the cell-walls of which contain LL-diaminopimelic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid, were isolated from soil. The two strains were subjected to taxonomic studies, which involved morphological, cultural, physiological and chemotaxonomical characterization, the latter including the cell-wall chemo-type, whole-cell sugar composition, phospholi...

Klebsiella aerogenes W70 could grow aerobically with nitrate or nitrite as the sole nitrogen source. The assimilatory nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase responsible for this ability required the presence of either nitrate or nitrite as an inducer, and both enzymes were repressed by ammonia. The repression by ammonia, which required the NTR (nitrogen regulatory) system (A. Macaluso, E. A. B...
