Effect of two commercial herbicides on life history traits of a human disease vector, Aedes aegypti, in the laboratory setting
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-03-10)
Some mosquito species utilize the small niches of water that are abundant in farmland habitats. These niches are susceptible to effects from agricultural pesticides, many of which are applied aerially over large tracts of ...
North American Indigenous adolescent substance use
(Elsevier BV, 2013-05)
Objectives: To investigate growth in problem drinking and monthly marijuana use among North American Indigenous adolescents from the upper Midwest and Canada.
On manifolds with multiple lens space filings
(2013-08-22)
An irreducible 3--manifold with torus boundary either is a Seifert fibered space or admits at most three lens space fillings according to the Cyclic Surgery Theorem. We examine the sharpness of this theorem by classifying ...
Spatial distribution and risk factors of Brucellosis in Iberian wild ungulates
(BioMed Central, 2010-03-05)
Background: The role of wildlife as a brucellosis reservoir for humans and domestic livestock remains to be properly established. The aim of this work was to determine the aetiology, apparent prevalence, spatial distribution ...
Genes related to mitochondrial functions are differentially expressed in phosphine-resistant and -susceptible Tribolium castaneum
(BioMed Central, 2015-11-18)
Background: Phosphine is a valuable fumigant to control pest populations in stored grains and grain products. However, recent studies indicate a substantial increase in phosphine resistance in stored product pests worldwide.
Analysis of micronized charcoal for use in a liquid fuel slurry
(MDPI, 2016-12-27)
Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) was chosen as the woody biomass for the production of charcoal for use in a liquid fuel slurry. Charcoal produced from this biomass resulted in a highly porous structure similar to ...
Radial flows and angular momentum conservation in galactic chemical evolution
(2012-07-31)
We study the effects of radial flows on Galactic chemical evolution. A simple analytic scheme is developed prescribing the coupling of infall from the intergalactic medium and radial flows within the disc based on angular ...
Use of a rabbit soft tissue chamber model to investigate Campylobacter jejuni-host interactions
(Frontiers Media, 2010-11-16)
Despite the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni as an important food borne pathogen, the microbial factors governing its infection process are poorly characterized. In this study, we developed a novel rabbit soft tissue ...
Coxiella burnetii Nine Mile II proteins modulate gene expression of monocytic host cells during infection
(BioMed Central, 2010-09-20)
Background: Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes acute and chronic disease in humans. Bacterial replication occurs within enlarged parasitophorous vacuoles (PV) of eukaryotic cells, the ...
Biomedically-focused research productivity by Namibian authors and institutions 1995-2010
(2011-06)
Publications are the result of individual scientists or 'webs' of collaborators who present their scientific observations and share them with the scientific community. A study of authors and institutions who have published ...
