TL;DR: A detailed characterization of the first Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain, H041, was performed to confirm the finding, examine its antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and elucidate the resistance mechanisms.
Abstract: Recently, the first Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain (H041) that is highly resistant to the extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC) ceftriaxone, the last remaining option for empirical first-line treatment, was isolated. We performed a detailed characterization of H041, phenotypically and genetically, to confirm the finding, examine its antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and elucidate the resistance mechanisms. H041 was examined using seven species-confirmatory tests, antibiograms (30 antimicrobials), porB sequencing, N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST), multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and sequencing of ESC resistance determinants (penA, mtrR, penB, ponA, and pilQ). Transformation, using appropriate recipient strains, was performed to confirm the ESC resistance determinants. H041 was assigned to serovar Bpyust, MLST sequence type (ST) ST7363, and the new NG-MAST ST4220. H041 proved highly resistant to ceftriaxone (2 to 4 μg/ml, which is 4- to 8-fold higher than any previously described isolate) and all other cephalosporins, as well as most other antimicrobials tested. A new penA mosaic allele caused the ceftriaxone resistance. In conclusion, N. gonorrhoeae has now shown its ability to also develop ceftriaxone resistance. Although the biological fitness of ceftriaxone resistance in N. gonorrhoeae remains unknown, N. gonorrhoeae may soon become a true superbug, causing untreatable gonorrhea. A reduction in the global gonorrhea burden by enhanced disease control activities, combined with wider strategies for general AMR control and enhanced understanding of the mechanisms of emergence and spread of AMR, which need to be monitored globally, and public health response plans for global (and national) perspectives are important. Ultimately, the development of new drugs for efficacious gonorrhea treatment is necessary.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element approach is proposed for the solution of the continuum elastic-plastic problems by means of a plastic stress-strain matrix which is derivable by inverting the Prandtl-Reuss equations in plasticity theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, gold nanoparticles were produced by laser ablation of a gold metal plate in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and the size distribution of the nanoparticles thus produced was measured by an electron microscope and was found to shift to a smaller size with an increase in surfactant concentration.
Abstract: Gold nanoparticles were produced by laser ablation of a gold metal plate in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The absorption spectrum of the gold nanoparticles was essentially same as that of gold nanoparticles chemically prepared in a solution. The size distribution of the nanoparticles thus produced was measured by an electron microscope and was found to shift to a smaller size with an increase in surfactant concentration. This behavior is explained in terms of the dynamic formation model. Dependence of the nanoparticle abundance on surfactant concentration in the solution shows that stable gold nanoparticles tend to be formed as the surfactant concentration exceeds 10-5 M. The gold nanoparticles having diameters larger than 5 nm were pulverized into those having diameters of 1−5 nm by a 532-nm laser.

01 Jun 2012TL;DR: In this article, a gas turbine combustor with a fuel injection nozzle using a fluid other than liquid fuel to atomize the liquid fuel and that can suppress a reduction in power generation efficiency resulting from a heat loss while promoting the atomization of liquid fuel.
Abstract: The present invention provides a gas turbine combustor that has a fuel injection nozzle using a fluid other than liquid fuel to atomize the liquid fuel and that can suppress a reduction in power generation efficiency resulting from a heat loss while promoting the atomization of the liquid fuel. The gas turbine combustor is adapted to mix liquid fuel with combustion air led from a compressor, burn the mixture, and supply combustion gas generated to a gas turbine. The gas turbine combustor includes a fuel injection nozzle that atomizes the liquid fuel into fine liquid droplets. The fuel injection nozzle includes a first system adapted to supply the liquid fuel and a second system adapted to supply a fluid for atomizing the liquid fuel. Low-boiling liquid fuel is supplied to the second system as the fluid. The second system is adapted to heat and supply the low-boiling liquid fuel.

20 Jun 2009TL;DR: An uncertainty measure is proposed that generalizes margin-based uncertainty to the multi-class case and is easy to compute, so that active learning can handle a large number of classes and large data sizes efficiently.
Abstract: One of the principal bottlenecks in applying learning techniques to classification problems is the large amount of labeled training data required. Especially for images and video, providing training data is very expensive in terms of human time and effort. In this paper we propose an active learning approach to tackle the problem. Instead of passively accepting random training examples, the active learning algorithm iteratively selects unlabeled examples for the user to label, so that human effort is focused on labeling the most “useful” examples. Our method relies on the idea of uncertainty sampling, in which the algorithm selects unlabeled examples that it finds hardest to classify. Specifically, we propose an uncertainty measure that generalizes margin-based uncertainty to the multi-class case and is easy to compute, so that active learning can handle a large number of classes and large data sizes efficiently. We demonstrate results for letter and digit recognition on datasets from the UCI repository, object recognition results on the Caltech-101 dataset, and scene categorization results on a dataset of 13 natural scene categories. The proposed method gives large reductions in the number of training examples required over random selection to achieve similar classification accuracy, with little computational overhead.
