Measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings from WW + WZ → lnu jj events in pp[over ¯] collisions at √s=1.96 TeV
(2009-09-28)
We present a direct measurement of trilinear gauge boson couplings at γWW and ZWW vertices in WW and WZ events produced inpp[over ¯]collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. We consider events with one electron or muon, missing transverse ...
AIDS-related knowledge and sexual behaviour among married and previously married persons in rural central Mozambique
(Informa UK Limited, 2009-11)
HIV prevalence in central Mozambique is the highest in the country with high urban rates impacting on the rural areas. To identify potential factors influencing the spread of HIV in three sparsely populated districts in ...
Crystal structure of Bacillus anthracis dihydrofolate reductase with the dihydrophthalazine-based trimethoprim derivative RAB1 provides a structural explanation of potency and selectivity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-07)
Bacillus anthracis possesses an innate resistance to the antibiotic trimethoprim due to poor binding to dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR); currently, there are no commercial antibacterials that target this enzyme in B. ...
High-Q terahertz Bragg resonances within a metal parallel plate waveguide
(AIP Publishing, 2009-03-06)
One-dimensional (1D) Bragg waveguides are demonstrated at terahertz (THz) frequencies. Lithographically made 1D symmetric and asymmetric dielectric gratings on metallized high conductivity Si chips are incorporated within ...
Beyond forest cover: Land use and biodiversity in rubber trail forests of the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve
(Resilience Alliance, 2009)
Among the strategies to promote sustainable tropical forest development around the world, the Federal Extractive Reserve System of Brazil is widely cited as an exemplary model. It is designed to protect rubber tapper ...
Cloning, characterization and expression analysis of porcine microRNAs
(BioMed Central, 2009-02-05)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ~22-nt regulatory RNAs that can silence target genes, by blocking their protein production or degrading the mRNAs. Pig is an important animal in the agriculture industry because of ...
Characterization of the oxidative stress stimulon and PerR regulon of Campylobacter jejuni
(BioMed Central, 2009-10-18)
Background: During gut colonization, the enteric pathogen Campylobacter jejuni must surmount the toxic effects of reactive oxygen species produced by its own metabolism, the host immune system, and intestinal microflora. ...
Mysterious mycorrhizae? A field trip and classroom experiment to demystify the symbioses formed between plants and fungi
(University of California Press, 2009-09)
Overlapping data problem
(Social Sciences Research Network, 2009)
Overlapping data are often used in finance and economics, but applied work often uses inefficient estimators. The article evaluates possible reasons for using overlapping data and provides a guide about which estimator to ...
Linear free divisors and the global logarithmic comparison theorem
(Association des Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2009)
A complex hypersurface D in C^n is a linear free divisor (LFD) if its module of logarithmic vector fields has a global basis of linear vector fields. We classify all LFDs for n at most 4.
