The aim of this study was to determine both the occurrence and the genetic basis of resistance to erythromycin among 1 235 Staphylococcus spp.isolates obtained between 2000 and 2006 from (a) raw milk and meat (1 704 samples), (b) foodstuffs produced from these Wall Sconce (451 samples), and (c) contact surfaces at processing plants and dairy farms
We study the spin and charge accumulation in DMAE a superconductor when a normal-superconductor tunnel junction is subjected to a Zeeman magnetic field and taken out of equilibrium by applying either a DC or AC voltage bias.We focus on a configuration which allows one to measure non-locally the spin-accumulation using a second ferromagnetic electro
The task of virus classification into subtypes is an important concern in many categorization studies, e.g., in virology or epidemiology.Therefore, the problem of virus subtyping has been a subject of considerable interest in the last decade.Although there exist several virus subtyping tools, they are often dedicated to a specific family of viruses
Several major religions exhibit complex attitudes towards self-mutilation and adornment.Judaism, Islam, and Christianity forbid marking the body and associate it with sin.Still, many people apparently have continued to feel a need for confirmation of their religion and their religious journeys by marking their bodies.This ethnographic study focuses
A modified Hartmann tube apparatus was used to study the explosivity properties of dusts from torrefied biomass pellets.The sensitivity of the dusts to explode was assessed by determining the minimum Power Wheelchairs ignition energies (MIE) and the minimum explosible concentrations (MEC).The severity of the explosion was evaluated by flame front v
