Abstract Spontaneous CP violation, such as the Nelson-Barr (NB) mechanism, is an attractive scenario for addressing the strong CP problem while realizing the observed phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing matrix.However, not only the CKM phase but also the baryon Bumper asymmetric Universe requires sources of CP violation.In thi

Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial human pathogen of increasing concern due to its multidrug resistance profile.The outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is an abundant bacterial cell surface component involved in A.baumannii pathogenesis.It has been shown that the C-terminal domain of OmpA is located in the periplasm and non-covalently associates w

This article focuses on the new opportunity for the national parliaments to get involved in the EU legislative process which is provided by the so-called yellow card mechanism introduced by the Lisbon Treaty.I start with a discussion of the incentives for national parliaments to seize the new opportunity to influence SD Cards European decision-maki

Kick is an unplanned and undesirable influx of formation fluid into the borehole which if not curtailed, may develop into a blowout.It may arise if the formation fluid flows into the wellbore in an unplanned fa shion when the drilling mud hydrostatic head is insufficient to hold.A kick may escalate into a potentially catastrophic uncontrollable flo

A ratio-dependent predator-prey model with two time delays is studied.By means of an iteration technique, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global attractiveness of the positive equilibrium.By comparison arguments, the global stability of the semitrivial equilibrium is addressed.By Wrapping Paper using the theory of functional equation and
