West Nile virus (WNV) and St.Louis encephalitis (SLEV) virus are enzootically maintained in North America in cycles involving the same mosquito vectors and similar avian hosts.However, these viruses exhibit dissimilar viremia and virulence phenotypes Home - Pillows in birds: WNV is associated with high magnitude viremias that can result in mortalit

This study concerns the role of short- and long-wave radiant flux densities from different directions in complex urban settings for human thermal comfort on clear-sky summer days.The aims of the investigation are to quantify the importance of the sky view factor as an urban design-dependent variable for the 3-D radiant flux densities absorbed by th

Malaria continues to wreak havoc in the Peruvian Amazon.Lengthy research efforts have brought important lessons on its particular epidemiology: the heterogeneous levels of transmission, the large QUICK D reservoir of both asymptomatic and submicroscopic infections, the co-transmission of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum in the same areas,

The avionics network supports high-safety-level flight operations, with the analysis of transmission failures serving as a crucial means for its safety evaluation.Due to the time-dependent nature of the failure probability in avionics networks, traditional constant SKIN PROTECT CREAM and unchangeable probability values can deviate from the actual s

Fragmentary but associated dinosaur bones collected in 1930 from the Pine River of northeastern British Columbia are identified here as originating Side Skirt from an ankylosaur.The specimen represents only the second occurrence of dinosaur skeletal material from the Cenomanian Dunvegan Formation and the first from Dunvegan outcrops in the province
