One representative recombinant clone encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae O5-antigen lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was found upon screening for serum resistance in a cosmid-based genomic library of K. pneumoniae KT769 (O5:K57) introduced into Escherichia coli DH5alpha. A total of eight open reading frames (wb(O5) gene cluster) were necessary to produce K. pneumoniae O5-antigen LPS in E. coli K-12. The enz...

Let G be a color-critical graph with χ(G) ≥ Δ(G) = 2t + 1 ≥ 5 such that the subgraph of G induced by the vertices of degree 2t+1 has clique number at most t−1. We prove that then either t ≥ 3 and G = K2t+2 or t = 2 and G ∈ {K6, O5}, where O5 is a special graph with χ(O5) = 5 and |O5| = 9. This result for t ≥ 3 improves a case of a theorem by Rabern [9] and for t = 2 answers a question raised by...

A novel nanocomposite based on poly(N-octadecyl-2-ethynylpyridinium bromide) (PNOEtPyBr) and Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 nanosheets is synthesized by the method of exfoliation-reflocculation. The XRD data of the nanocomposite indicates the formation of Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 nanosheets/PNOEtPyBr nanostructure with an interlayer expansion of 4.6 nm along a direction perpendicular to the Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 na...

Let F be a binary clutter. We prove that if F is non-ideal, then either F or its blocker b(F) has one of L7,O5,LC7 as a minor. L7 is the non-ideal clutter of the lines of the Fano plane, O5 is the non-ideal clutter of odd circuits of the complete graph K5, and the two-point Fano LC7 is the ideal clutter whose sets are the lines, and their complements, of the Fano plane that contain exactly one ...

Tooth-whitening agents are available for therapeutic use in the dental office or at home. However, whitening more severe stains, such as those caused by systemic ingestion of tetracycline, constitutes a challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in an experimental model of growing rats, the efficacy of using ozone to lighten tetracycline-stained incisors. At weaning, male Wistar rats (n=...

We discuss the results of two XMM-Newton observations of the open cluster NGC 6604 obtained in April and September 2002. We concentrate mainly on the multiple system HD 167971 (O5-8V + O5-8V + (O8I)). The soft part of the EPIC spectrum of this system is thermal with typical temperatures of about 2 × 10 6 to 9 × 10 6 K. The nature (thermal vs non-thermal) of the hard part of the spectrum is not ...

We compute the partition function for 6d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SO(2N)$ gauge theories compactified on a circle with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ outer automorphism twist. perform computation based 5-brane webs two O5-planes using topological vertex O5-planes. As representative examples, we consider $SO(8)$ and $SU(3)$ confirm that these functions obtained from indeed agree elliptic genus computations.
