The Staph-Ident and STAPHase systems (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) were compared with conventional methods for identification of staphylococci isolated from bovine intramammary infections. Adjunct testing by colony morphology, pigmentation, and biochemical tests was conducted to resolve discrepant identifications. The initial accuracies of the conventional scheme and Staph-Ident were 92....

Syntax • ArithExp ::= Ident | Numeral | ArithExp+ArithExp ArithExp−ArithExp | ArithExp ∗ArithExp • BoolExp ::= true | false | not BoolExp ArithExp = ArithExp | ArithExp > ArithExp • Stm ::= Ident := ArithExp | skip | Stm; Stm if BoolExp then Stm else Stm while BoolExp do Stm

AN-Ident (Analytab Products, Inc., Plainview, N.Y.) is a ready-to-use system for anaerobe identification. It is based on the detection of constitutive preformed enzymes, is growth independent, and requires only 4 h of aerobic incubation. This micromethod was evaluated for its ability to identify anaerobic bacteria by using a conventional methodology as a reference. Of 265 clinical isolates, AN-...

To culture facultative and strict anaerobic bacteria is a well-established method for analyzing subgingival plaque samples. Micro-IDent and micro-IDent Plus (HAIN Lifescience GmbH, Nehren, Germany) tests are two commercially available rapid PCR-based methods for the identification and quantification of putative periodontopathogen bacteria. In this study, we compared these commercial PCR-based h...

In this paper, we propose an extremely simple identification protocol and prove its security using the Knowledge-of-Exponent Assumption (KEA). We discuss the applicability of KEA in various protocol settings as well. Recently, doubts have been raised about applying KEA in some protocols where an adversary has auxiliary inputs. However, we suggest that KEA is applicable in these cases. We presen...

This article describes the identification protocol on a hybrid Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with mobile and fixed stations. Our objective is to add decision elements to optimize the routing in such a system. Our protocol is based on the use of distributed reception tables in mobile stations. This protocol has been developed in Java.

This paper argues that phonetic naturalness and unnaturalness can interact within a single grammatical system. In Japanese loanword phonology, only voiced geminates, but not voiced singletons, devoice to dissimilate from another voiced obstruent. The neutralizability difference follows from a ranking which Japanese speakers created on perceptual grounds: IDENT(voi)Sing » IDENT(voi)Gem. On the o...

This document is intended to provide helpful information to anyone wishing to adapt IDENT for use on a computer other than an LSI-11, or on an operating system other than RT-11 version 4, or with different data structures. An overall picture of IDENT is provided by Tables 1-7, in which the common variables and the overlay structure are outlined. The function of each subroutine is noted briefly....
