Background Antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) and the prevalence of meticillin‐resistant SP (MRSP) is increasing in dogs worldwide. Objectives To evaluate the influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance of SP and whether restricted use of antimicrobials based on antibiograms could reduce the identification of ...

Refined ratio monotonicity of the coordinator polynomials of the root lattice of type Bn
Ratio monotonicity, a property stronger than both log-concavity and the spiral property, describes the behavior of the coefficients of many classical polynomials.

A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality beyond the MTP2 case
A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector X=(X1,…,Xd){\boldsymbol{X}}=\left({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{d}) of arbitrary length can be written as a ...

On the polyhedral cones of convex and concave vectors [PDF]
Convex or concave sequences of n positive terms, viewed as vectors in n-space, constitute convex cones with 2n − 2 and n extreme rays, respectively.

Antichains and counterpoint dichotomies [PDF]
We construct a special type of antichain (i. e., a family of subsets of a set, such that no subset is contained in another) using group-theoretical considerations, and obtain an upper bound on the cardinality of such an antichain.

The Eulerian Distribution on Involutions is Indeed Unimodal [PDF]
Let I_{n,k} (resp. J_{n,k}) be the number of involutions (resp. fixed-point free involutions) of {1,...,n} with k descents. Motivated by Brenti's conjecture which states that the sequence I_{n,0}, I_{n,1},..., I_{n,n-1} is log-concave, we prove that the ...

The log-concavity of the q-derangement numbers of type B
Recently, Chen and Xia proved that for n ≥ 6, the q-derangement numbers Dn(q) are log-concave except for the last term when n is even. In this paper, employing a recurrence relation for DnB(q) $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle D^B_n(q) \end{array ...

The Kraft sum as a monotone function on the refinement-ordered set of uniquely decipherable codes [PDF]
The set of all uniquely decipherable (UD) codes is partially ordered by re nement, meaning that all strings in the cruder code can be represented as con- catenations of strings taken from the ner code.

Background– Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) may cause suppurative otitis externa with severe inflammation and ulceration in dogs. Multidrug resistance is commonly reported for this organism, creating a difficult therapeutic challenge. Objective– The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a gel containing 0.5 µg/mL of ...

Compositions inside a rectangle and unimodality [PDF]
Let c^{k,l}(n) be the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of the integer n whose Ferrers diagram fits inside a k-by-l rectangle. The purpose of this note is to give a simple, algebraic proof of a conjecture of Vatter that the sequence c^{k,l}(0),
