Acinetobacter baumannii represses type VI secretion system through a manganese-dependent small RNA-mediated regulation by Somok Bhowmik, Avik Pathak, Shivam Pandey, Kuldip Devnath, Abhiroop Sett, Nishant Jyoti, Timsy Bhando, Jawed Akhter, Saurabh Chugh, Ramandeep Singh, Tarun Kumar Sharma, Ranjana Pathania

“…Previously, it was demonstrated that A. baumannii ATCC 17978 cells switch from T6− to T6+ phenotype, resulting in the loss of antibiotic resistance conferred by plasmid pAB3. Furthermore, the derivatives of pAB3 found in recent clinical isolates of A. baumannii harbor expanded antibiotic resistance genes and multiple determinants for virulence factors. …”

Characteristics and Breakdown Behaviors of Polysilicon Resistors for High Voltage Applications by Xiao-Yu Tang, Ke Dong

“…However, there have been few detailed reports about the polysilicon resistors’ characteristics, like voltage and temperature coefficients and breakdown behaviors which are critical parameters of high voltage applications. In this study, we experimentally find that the resistance of the polysilicon resistor with a relatively low doping concentration shows negative voltage and temperature coefficients, while that of the polysilicon resistor with a high doping concentration has positive voltage and temperature coefficients. …”
