Recurrent bacteremia by Chtyseobacterium indologenes in an oncology patient with a totally implanted intravascular device
Chryseohaderium indologenes was isolated from the blood cultures of an oncological patient with a totally implantable device. Because a catheter-related infection was suspected, the Port-A-Cath® was removed after a 10-day course of piperacillin–tazobactam. Differences in susceptibility may exist if either the criteria for either Pseudomonas or Enterobaderiaceae are used
The sublime in the visual culture of the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic
Contrary to what Kant believed about the Dutch (and their visual culture) as “being of an orderly and diligent position” and thus having no feeling for the sublime, this book argues that the sublime played an important role in seventeenth-century Dutch visual and decorative art, architecture, and theater.By looking at different visualizations of exceptional heights, divine presence, overwhelming natural phenomena, political grandeur, extreme violence, and extraordinary artifacts, the authors demonstrate how viewers were confronted with the sublime, which evoked in them a combination of contrasting feelings of awe and fear, attraction and repulsion. In studying seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture through the lens of notions of the sublime, we can move beyond the traditional and still widespread views on Dutch art as the ultimate representation of everyday life and the expression of a prosperous society in terms of calmness, neatness, and order.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, architectural history, and cultural history.Horizon 2020(H2020)Medieval and Early Modern Studie

An HDG Method for Dirichlet Boundary Control of Convection Dominated Diffusion PDE
We first propose a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to
approximate the solution of a \emph{convection dominated} Dirichlet boundary
control problem. Dirichlet boundary control problems and convection dominated
problems are each very challenging numerically due to solutions with low
regularity and sharp layers, respectively. Although there are some numerical
analysis works in the literature on \emph{diffusion dominated} convection
diffusion Dirichlet boundary control problems, we are not aware of any existing
numerical analysis works for convection dominated boundary control problems.
Moreover, the existing numerical analysis techniques for convection dominated
PDEs are not directly applicable for the Dirichlet boundary control problem
because of the low regularity solutions. In this work, we obtain an optimal a
priori error estimate for the control under some conditions on the domain and
the desired state. We also present some numerical experiments to illustrate the
performance of the HDG method for convection dominated Dirichlet boundary
control problems
