Individual Addressing and State Readout of Trapped Ions Utilizing Radio-Frequency Micromotion.

Excess "micromotion" of trapped ions due to the residual radio-frequency (rf) trapping field at their location is often undesirable and is usually carefully minimized. Here, we induce precise amounts of excess micromotion on individual ions by adjusting the local static electric field they experience. Micromotion modulates the coupling of an ion to laser fields, ideally tuning it from its maximum value to zero as the ion is moved away from the trap's rf null.

Draft genome sequence of sp. from whole cantaloupe, with inhibition capacity against .

We report the draft genome sequence of a novel species, sp., isolated from a freshly harvested and untreated cantaloupe in North Carolina. The strain wild type exhibited inhibitory activity against the foodborne pathogen , including strains of diverse serotypes and genotypes, both on agar media and in biofilms.

Tetracycline resistance in and from wild black bears () in the United States is mediated by novel transposable elements.

causes severe foodborne illness and is the only human pathogen in the genus . Previous surveys of AMR in focused on clinical sources and food or food processing environments, with AMR in strains from wildlife and other natural ecosystems remaining under-explored. We analyzed 185 sequenced strains from wild black bears () from the United States, including 158 and 27 .

Draft Genome Sequences of 158 Listeria monocytogenes Strains Isolated from Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in the United States.

Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for severe foodborne disease and major economic losses, but its potential reservoirs in natural ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 158 L. monocytogenes strains isolated from black bears (Ursus americanus) in the southeastern United States between 2014 and 2017.

Functional Status and Quality of Life 6 Months After Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy for COVID-19-Related Pulmonary Failure.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in COVID-19-related pulmonary failure and the number of patients recovering from COVID-19 is growing. Here, we assess survival and recovery 6 months after ECMO for COVID-19. From April 2020 to September 2021, n = 60 (60.
