ABSTRACT Here, we report the isolation of 31 Acinetobacter baumannii strains producing OXA-253 in a single large Brazilian city. These strains belonged to five different sequence types (STs), including 4 STs not previously associated with bla OXA-253. In all strains, the bla OXA-253 gene was located in a plasmid within a genetic environment similar to what was found previously in Brazil and Italy. The reported data emphasize the successful transmission of the bla OXA-253 gene through a large area and the tendency for this resistance determinant to remain in the A. baumannii population.

Formation of nanostructure states on the surface of materials exposed to concentrated flows of energy is one of the relevant problems of modern materials processing. In the paper the authors describe the mechanism of the micro-scale droplets formation based on the study and modeling of the physical processes and technological aspects of the interaction between the heterogenic plasma flows and the molten substance at the electrode tip. The authors show new physical mechanisms and criteria for micro-and nanoparticles origination, develop a physical-mathematical model of the interaction between the molten metal and the plasma discharge with imposed high-frequency pulse action.

AbstractGlyphosate-resistant (GR) and glyphosate-tolerant weeds cause considerable yield losses and represent a growing threat to soybean production systems. Despite the relevance of this topic, few studies have evaluated the dispersal of these species in Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dispersal and frequency of known GR and glyphosate-tolerant weeds in soybean-producing microregions. A total of 2,481 interviews were conducted in different regions of Brazil. The interviews were stratified among 20 edaphoclimatic microregions (ECRs) to cover all of the country’s soybean-producing regions. A minimum number of interviews was estimated to generate a margin of error of ≤10% within the ECRs and ≤5% in the country. The values of the farmers’ responses were extrapolated to the total soybean production area of each ECR and the country as a whole, and the absolute values of each response were normalized as percentage values. The dispersal and management data demonstrate a loss of efficiency of glyphosate-resistance technology. Species that are naturally tolerant to glyphosate such as goosegrass, Commelina spp., and Ipomoea spp. had a greater presence in the ECRs, as did the resistant biotypes, particularly Conyza spp. and sourgrass, due to the large area cultivated with GR soybean, where glyphosate has been used with high frequency.


The ground state of an electron trapped at a defect of the interstitial ion type in an ionic crystal is determined by a variation method in which the interaction between electron and lattice vibrations is treated on a dynamic basis. The results are com pared with static calculations using a self-consistent method, and it is shown that for certain ranges of the low- and high-frequency dielectric constants an appreciable difference in energy may occur.

AbstractThis paper deals with some results of research in SLS performed in the excimer laser laboratory of TRINITI research institute, Russia, where different types of excimer lasers have been developed and manufactured. The research used a new simple SLS approach based on single-axis (i.e., cylinder) projection optics. The method employs a long single melting line extended many centimeters in length. The line is formed by projection through a single slit in a bulk metal mask. Some aspects of the efficiency, potential, and technical challenge of the method are discussed. This method is particularly useful with low pulse energy and high frequency excimer lasers, and one of the most efficient ways of providing directionally crystallized Si films over a large area. Several types of excimer lasers were tested for the SLS technique. It was found that among various parameters, pulse duration is a more important one, e.g., an increase in pulse duration from 25 to 150 ns results in enlargement of lateral growth distance by about three times.
