MODELLING THE INFLUENCE OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE ON MANAGERIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE GHANAIAN BANKING SECTOR


Characterization of Foliar Fungal Endophyte Communities from White Pine Blister Rust Resistant and Susceptible Pinus flexilis in Natural Stands in the Southern Rocky Mountains

Fungal endophytic communities in needles of field-grown Pinus flexilis previously inferred to carry major gene resistance (R) to white pine blister rust (WPBR) or to lack it (S) were surveyed to identify unique microbes that may be recruited by WPBR-resistant genotypes.Resistant and Bottom Bracket Kit susceptible trees were sampled in each of 11 P.

Identifying hidden coalitions in the US House of Representatives by optimally partitioning signed networks based on generalized balance

Abstract In network science, identifying optimal partitions of a signed network into internally cohesive and mutually divisive clusters based on generalized balance theory is computationally challenging.We reformulate and generalize two binary linear programming models that tackle this challenge, demonstrating their practicality by applying Learnin

Emergence of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 disseminating blaKPC-2 in a novel genetic platform

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Isolation of colistin- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CCR-Kp) is increasing in hospital settings worldwide, which is related to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs.The aim of this work was to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS), genomic and phylogenetic analysis, and conjugation assays of an
