Carbapenems are the primary choice of treatment for severePseudomonas aeruginosainfection. However, the emergence of carbapenem resistance due to the production of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) is of global concern. In this study, 90 imipenem- (IPM- or IP-) resistantP. aeruginosa(IRPA) isolates, including 32 previously tested positive and genotyped for MBL genes by PCR, were subjected to double-disk synergy test (DDST), combined disk test (CDT), and imipenem/imipenem-inhibitor (IP/IPI)E-test to evaluate their MBLs detection capability. All three methods were shown to have a sensitivity of 100%. However, DDST was the most specific of the three (96.6%), followed by IP/IPIE-test interpreted based on the single criteria of IP/IPI≥8as positive (62.1%), and CDT was the least specific (43.1%). Based on the data from this evaluation, we propose that only IRPA with IP MIC>16 μg/mL and IP/IPI≥8by IP/IPIE-test should be taken as positive for MBL activity. With the new dual interpretation criteria, the MBL IP/IPIE-test was shown to achieve 100% sensitivity as well as specificity for the IRPA in this study. Therefore, the IP/IPIE-test is a viable alternative phenotypic assay to detect MBL production in IRPA in our population in circumstances where PCR detection is not a feasible option.

This paper is a continuation of our previous publication of enhanced matrix power function (MPF) as a conjectured one-way function. We are considering a problem introduced in our previous paper and prove that tis problem is NP-Complete. The proof is based on the dual interpretation of well known multivariate quadratic (MQ) problem defined over the binary field as a system of MQ equations, and as a general satisfiability (GSAT) problem. Due to this interpretation the necessary constraints to MPF function for cryptographic protocols construction can be added to initial GSAT problem. Then it is proved that obtained GSAT problem is NP-Complete using Schaefer dichotomy theorem. Referencing to this result, GSAT problem by polynomial-time reduction is reduced to the sub-problem of enhanced MPF, hence the latter is NP-Complete as well.

Dual Interpretation

Organizations typically employ a division of labor between specialist creator roles and generalist business roles in a bid to orchestrate innovation. We seek to determine the extent to which individuals dividing the work across roles can also benefit from dividing their network. We argue that collaborating individuals benefit from connecting to the same groups but different individuals within those groups—an approach we label dual networking—rather than from a pure divide-and-conquer approach. To test this argument, we study a dual career-ladder setting in a large multinational in which R&D managers and technologists partner up in their quest for innovation. We find that collaborators who engage in dual networking attain an innovation performance advantage over those who connect to distinct groups. This advantage stems from the opportunity to engage in the dual interpretation of input the partners receive, as well as from dual influencing that helps them to gain momentum for their proposed innovations, and it leads to more effective elaboration and championing of their ideas. In demonstrating these effects, we advance understanding of how collaborators organize their networking activities to best achieve innovative outcomes.
