Multiple Transferable Drug Resistance In Enterobacteria In Mashonaland

A CAJM article on the prevalence of drug resistance in Mashonaland Province, Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia.)The development of resistance to antibiotics is so prevalent that it is prudent continuously to monitor the patterns of sensitivity in organisms likely to become involved. Particularly important are the staphylococci and the enterobacteria. The phenomenon is with staphylococci, a problem found largely within hospitals and similar “close contact” institutions and, while the same may apply to some extent to the enteric organisms, increase in resistance in bacteria in non-hospitalised patients is becoming fairly common

The Single-Particle Spectral Function of 16O^{16}{\rm O}

The influence of short-range correlations on the $p$-wave single-particle spectral function in $^{16}{\rm O}$ is studied as a function of energy. This influence, which is represented by the admixture of high-momentum components, is found to be small in the $p$-shell quasihole wave functions. It is therefore unlikely that studies of quasihole momentum distributions using the $(e,e'p)$ reaction will reveal a significant contribution of high momentum components. Instead, high-momentum components become increasingly more dominant at higher excitation energy. The above observations are consistent with the energy distribution of high-momentum components in nuclear matter.Comment: 5 pages, RevTeX, 3 figure
