Antimicrobial Stewardship : What We All Just Need to Know

Antimicrobial stewardship programmes including a multidisciplinary team of urologists, infectious disease specialists, and microbiologists reduce the total use of antibiotics in urological care without jeopardising the patient outcome. It is a recommended tool for education and feedback.

A case study in fitting area-proportional euler diagrams with ellipses using eulerr

Euler diagrams are common and user-friendly visualizations for set relationships. Most Euler diagrams use circles, but circles do not always yield accurate diagrams. A promising alternative is ellipses, which, in theory, enable accurate diagrams for a wider range of input. Elliptical diagrams, however, have not yet been implemented for more than three sets or three-set diagrams where there are dis

Corner effects on the perturbation of an electric potential

We consider the perturbation of an electric potential due to an insulating inclusion with corners. This perturbation is known to admit a multipole expansion whose coeffcients are linear combinations of generalized polarization tensors. We define new geometric factors of a simple planar domain in terms of a conformal mapping associated with the domain. The geometric factors share properties of the

Stealth carriers for low-resolution structure determination of membrane proteins in solution

Structural studies of membrane proteins remain a great experimental challenge. Functional reconstitution into artificial nanoscale bilayer disc carriers that mimic the native bilayer environment allows the handling of membrane proteins in solution. This enables the use of small-angle scattering techniques for fast and reliable structural analysis. The difficulty with this approach is that the carr

Slender Roof Structures - Failure Reviews and a Qualitative Survey of Experienced Structural Engineers

Many slender roof structures have collapsed due to snow loading and instability. Although accurate stability calculations can be performed using theoretical models, these calculations may not always reflect the behaviour of real structures as a result of the uncertainties relating to e.g. loading, material behaviour, geometry, initial imperfections and the actual boundary conditions of the structu

Cleaning up copy–paste clones with interactive merging

Copy-paste-modify is a form of software reuse in which developers explicitly duplicate source code. This duplicated source code, amounting to a code clone, is adapted for a new purpose. Copy-paste-modify is popular among software developers, however, empirical evidence shows that it complicates software maintenance and increases the frequency of bugs. To allow developers to use copy-paste-modify w

Multilevel strategies for political influence : How and why do domestic civil society organisations seek political influence at national and EU levels?

This article addresses domestic civil society organisations (CSOs) and their multilevel strategies for gaining political influence in the European Union. Drawing on a theoretical framework identifying different 'routes' that CSOs can take in a multilevel system of EU governance, this article analyses which routes or combination of routes CSOs take and investigates what organisational factors can e
