In the spring of 2011, the Census Bureau announced that the edition that year would be the last one produced at government expense. Despite protests from librarians and journalists and despite petitions to Congress, the Census Bureau unit that published the Statistical Abstract was eliminated. Its elimination resulted not from a decline in the popularity or perceived value of statistical compilations, but from the need to reduce agency spending while supporting new and existing data collection efforts.
ProQuest has now taken on responsibility for updating and releasing this publication, the most used statistical reference tool in U.S. libraries. We bring to this task 35 years experience acquiring, abstracting, and indexing federal government statistical publications and tables.
The new statistical abstract has new mandals, zonal systems in the form of maps. Vinod Kumar said that the abstract has graphical presentation with full of maps and graphs, which can be easily understood.
Abstract: In this paper, a two-phase palmprint recognition approach is proposed based on statistical features and wide principal line image features through dynamic region of interest (ROI). The ROI is segmented into overlapping segments by six schemes, and the statistical features are extracted directly from the segments. The algorithm focuses on the extraction of statistical features based on standard deviation and coefficient of variation. A modified dissimilarity distance is proposed for computing the distance between two palmprints. The procedures are presented for determining the size and location of the common region of training images dynamically. Experiments are conducted by using statistical features and the combination of statistical and wide principal line image features. The results show that the correct recognition rate (CRR) of the proposed approach is better than existing methods for PolyUPalmprint database.
Since MCR-1 was first discovered in E coli isolates in China in 2015, the gene has been detected in animals, humans, and the environment in more than 30 countries. Scientists have identified MCR-1 through MCR-7 in E coli and other bacterial species, including Klebsiella and Enterobacter.

The investigation was following up on a 2015 study that found that a significantly lower rate of CDI in hospitals that used disposable sharps containers (DSCs) over those using reusable sharps containers (RSCs), but did not propose a scientific explanation for how the containers might spread CDI to patients. The hypothesis was that the statistical association found in the previous study was an artifact and that DSCs and RSCs may have a low spore burden but no fomite potential.
