Observing metamaterial induced transparency in individual Fano resonators with broken symmetry
(AIP Publishing, 2011-11-15)
Metamaterial induced transparency is demonstrated using individual split ring resonators with two gaps on opposite side. For the symmetric structure, only a low quality dipolar resonance is witnessed at a normal incidence ...
Antiretroviral therapy perceived efficacy and risky sexual behaviors: Evidence from Mozambique
(University of Chicago Press, 2012-10)
This paper studies the effect of increased access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for AIDS on self-reported risky sexual behavior, using data collected in Mozambique in 2007 and 2008. The survey sampled both households ...

Vaccinomics approach to the identification of candidate protective antigens for the control of tick vector infestations and Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-09)
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne pathogen causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), tick-borne fever (TBF) in small ruminants, and other forms of anaplasmosis in different domestic and wild animals. ...
Step-based physical activity metrics and cardiometabolic risk: NHANES 2005-2006
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from ...
Proteomic characterisation of bovine and avian purified protein derivatives and identification of specific antigens for serodiagnosis of bovine tuberculosis
(BioMed Central, 2017-11-02)
Background: Bovine purified protein derivative (bPPD) and avian purified protein derivative (aPPD) are widely used for bovine tuberculosis diagnosis. However, little is known about their qualitative and quantitative ...
Network approaches to substance use and HIV/hepatitis C risk among homeless youth and adult women in the United States: A review
(Scientific Research Publishing, Inc., 2016-08-26)
During the United States economic recession of 2008-2011, the number of homeless and unstably housed people in the United States increased considerably. Homeless adult women and unaccompanied homeless youth make up the ...
Range-wide experiment to investigate nutrient and soil moisture interactions in loblolly pine plantations
(MDPI, 2015-06-03)
The future climate of the southeastern USA is predicted to be warmer, drier and more variable in rainfall, which may increase drought frequency and intensity. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) is the most important commercial ...
Impact of climate trends on tick-borne pathogen transmission
(Frontiers Media, 2012-03-27)
Recent advances in climate research together with a better understanding of tick-pathogen interactions, the distribution of ticks and the diagnosis of tick-borne pathogens raise questions about the impact of environmental ...
Two structurally discrete GH7-cellobiohydrolases compete for the same cellulosic substrate fiber
(BioMed Central, 2012-04-11)
Background: Cellulose consisting of arrays of linear beta-1,4 linked glucans, is the most abundant carbon-containing polymer present in biomass. Recalcitrance of crystalline cellulose towards enzymatic degradation is widely ...
