First report of the chromosomal integration of carbapenemase gene blaIMP-19 in Acinetobacter baumannii AB322: the legacy of integron in phage-plasmid? [PDF]
Integration of carbapenemase gene blaIMP into the chromosome of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has not been reported. The aim of this study was to explore the genomic characteristics of CRAB AB322 isolated from a Taiwanese patient ...

Fermi Large Area Telescope View of the Core of the Radio Galaxy Centaurus A [PDF]
We present gamma-ray observations with the LAT on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus~A. The previous EGRET detection is confirmed, and the localization is improved using data from the first 10 months of Fermi science

An analog cell to detect single event transients in voltage references [PDF]
A reliable voltage reference is mandatory in mixed-signal systems. However, this family of components can undergo very long single event transients when operating in radiation environments such as space and nuclear facilities due to the impact of heavy ...

Static and dynamic selection thresholds governing the accumulation of information in genetic algorithms using ranked populations [PDF]
Mutation applied indiscriminately across a population has, on average, a detrimental effect on the accumulation of solution alleles within the population and is usually beneficial only when targeted at individuals with few solution alleles.
