Warranty We recently investigated a suspected outbreak of epidemic typhus in a jail in Burundi.We tested sera of nine patients by microimmunofluorescence for antibodies to Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia typhi.We also amplified and sequenced from lice gene portions specific for two R.prowazekii proteins: the gene encoding for citrate synthase
Measuring work and heat in ultracold quantum gases
We propose a feasible experimental scheme to direct measure heat and work in cold atomic setups.The method is based on a recent proposal which shows that work is Warranty a positive operator valued measure (POVM).In the present contribution, we demonstrate that the interaction between the atoms and the light polarization of a probe laser allows us
Budgerigars have complex sleep structure similar to that of mammals.
Birds and mammals share specialized forms of sleep including slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM), raising the question of why and how specialized sleep evolved.Extensive prior studies concluded that avian sleep lacked many features characteristic of mammalian sleep, and therefore that specialized sleep must have evolved indepen
The Idea of a University in the Post-Covid-19 World
Historically, pandemics have Electronics forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew.This one is no different.It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, BABY UNSCENTED BODY SOAP our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our de
Quantification of Ralstonia solanacearum Colonization of Potato Germplasm Using Luminescence
We have developed an unsophisticated, non-disruptive and accurate method for evaluation of pathogen colonization in planta.In this protocol we use a Ralstonia solanacearum (R.solanacearum) UY031 strain genetically modified to constitutively generate light from a synthetic luxCDABE operon stably inserted BABY UNSCENTED BODY SOAP in its chromosome.Th
