Introduction: Staphylococci emerged as the most frequent nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens. Macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) antibiotics resistance was increasing among Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) isolates. Objective: In the present study, the aim was to detect the phenotypic resistance p...

... total of 120 staphylococcal isolates (60 S. aureus and 60 S. epidermidis) were isolated from different specimens. Table 1 showed the frequency of staphylococcal isolates among clinical specimens. The highest isolation rate of S. aureus was isolated from an infected wound with 66.6% (40 isolates). ...

... the contrary, S. epidermidis also showed that the higher isolation rate was from wound samples with 50% (30 isolates), while the lower isolation rate was from sputum samples with 5% (3 isolates). The isolation from urine and blood samples were 26.7 and 18.3%, respectively, as shown in Table 1. ...

Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) is the technology that slowly replacing the traditional surveying method. MLS brings convenient and accurate data about the real world during the data collection. The electrical industry has started to apply MLS in data acquisition. Assets in electrical industry included power line, pole, power station and etc. Thus, it...

Label smoothing and vocabulary sharing are two widely used techniques in neural machine translation models. However, we argue that simply applying both techniques can be conflicting and even leads to sub-optimal performance. When allocating smoothed probability, original label smoothing treats the source-side words that would never appear in the ta...

Neuroimaging is crucial for assessing mass effect in brain-injured patients. Transport to an imaging suite, however, is challenging for critically ill patients. We evaluated the use of a low magnetic field, portable MRI (pMRI) for assessing midline shift (MLS). In this observational study, 0.064 T pMRI exams were performed on stroke patients admitt...

Sustainable development of the important economic species, Asian paddle crab ( Charybdis japonica ), has attracted attention in the coastal waters of the Yellow Sea, China. The commonly used round pots are almost nonselective, resulting in severe bycatch of juveniles. In this study, we explored a method to improve the size selectivity for C. japoni...
