ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus us polo assn mens sweaters is a prominent global nosocomial and community-acquired bacterial pathogen.A strong restriction barrier presents a major hurdle for the introduction of recombinant DNA into clinical isolates of S.aureus.Here, we describe the construction and characterization of the IMXXB series of Escherichi
On the clustering of winter storm loss events over Germany
During the last decades, several windstorm series hit Europe leading to large aggregated losses.Such storm series are examples of serial clustering of extreme cyclones, presenting a considerable risk for the insurance industry.Clustering of events and return periods of storm series for Germany are quantified based on potential losses using empirica
Optical Tracking Data Validation and Orbit Estimation for Sparse Observations of Satellites by the OWL-Net
An Optical Wide-field patroL-Network (OWL-Net) has been developed for maintaining Korean low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites’ orbital ephemeris.The OWL-Net consists of five optical tracking stations.Brightness signals of reflected sunlight of the targets were detected by a charged coupled device (CCD).A chopper system was adopted for fast astrom

Centralized Supply Chain Network Ddesign: Monopoly, Duopoly, and Ooligopoly Competitions under Uncertainty
This paper presents a competitive supply chain network design problem in which one, two, or three supply chains are planning to enter the price-dependent markets simultaneously in uncertain environments and decide to set the prices and shape their networks.The chains produce competitive products either identical or highly substitutable.Fuzzy underw
