Influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance and advantages of restricting antimicrobial use based on cumulative antibiograms in dogs with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius infections in Japan

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 668-e178, December 2021., 2021
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

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2023
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

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of a gel containing antimicrobial peptide AMP2041, chlorhexidine digluconate and Tris‐EDTA on clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from canine otitis

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 391-e98, October 2016., 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2007
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),
