Clostridium difficile bacteriophage finding under normal and iron-limited conditions for the isolation of potential siderophore receptor-specific phages by Lim, Edsel Yong Xun

“…Phage therapy, known for its specificity of action, has emerged as a promising candidate for combating CDI, offering the potential to circumvent gut microbiome dysbiosis associated with conventional antibiotic regimens. However, research on Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) phage hunting has been relatively limited. …”

Natural resources and income inequality in Africa. by Charasz, Pawel.

“…However, the overall effect is dependent upon the political regime and level of population heterogeneity. Whereas natural resources themselves were on average contributing positively to income inequality, greater degree of democracy reduces this effect and greater level of population heterogeneity increases this effect.…”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…This leads to a phase transition in the convergence rate: initially super-exponential (acceleration regime), then exponential (saturation regime). The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. …”
