Genome sequence of the tsetse fly (glossina morsitans): vector of African trypanosomiasis
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2014)
Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of human African trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Both sexes of adult tsetse feed exclusively on blood and contribute to disease transmission. Notable
differences between ...
The complex physics of dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshifts as revealed by Herschel and Spitzer
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We combine far-infrared photometry from Herschel (PEP/HerMES) with deep mid-infrared spectroscopy from
Spitzer to investigate the nature and the mass assembly history of a sample of 31 luminous and ultraluminous
infrared ...
Hitting the right target: taxonomic challenges for, and of, plant invasions
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
This paper explores how a lack of taxonomic expertise, and by implication a dearth of taxonomic products
such as identification tools, has hindered progress in understanding andmanaging biological invasions. It also ...
Hermes: Cosmic infrared background anisotropies and the clustering of dusty star-forming galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Star formation is well traced by dust, which absorbs the
UV/optical light produced by young stars in actively starforming
regions and re-emits the energy in the far-infrared/
submillimeter (FIR/submm; e.g., Savage & ...
Comparative study: the effect of annealing conditions on the properties of P3HT:PCBM blends
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This paper presents a detailed study on the role of various annealing treatments on organic poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester blends under different experimental conditions. A combination ...
Two new species of Trachyandra sect. Liriothamnus (Xanthorrhoeaceae, Asphodeloideae) from the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa
(2013)
Trachyandra eriocarpa and T. bulbosa are two new species from Northern and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa.
They are placed in T. sect. Liriothamnus based on their wiry roots, the cataphylls not forming membranous ...
Implicit-explicit predictor-corrector methods combined with improved spectral methods for pricing European style vanilla and exotic options
(Kent State University, 2013)
In this paper we present a robust numerical method to solve several types of European style option pricing problems. The governing equations are described by variants of Black-Scholes partial differential equations (BS-PDEs) ...
Accurate automated quantitative imaging of tortoise erythrocytes using the NIS image analysis system
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
The standard method for assessing blood cell characteristics using an ocular micrometer is time-consuming and limited. We used the Nikon NIS Elements imaging software and May-Grünwald-Giemsa staining to determine whether ...
Mining the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey: submillimetre-selected blazars in equatorial fields
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
The Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) provides an unprecedented
opportunity to search for blazars at sub-mm wavelengths. We cross-matched the Faint
Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) ...
The effect of PtRuIr nanoparticle crystallinity in electrocatalytic methanol oxidation
(MDPI, 2013)
Two structural forms of a ternary alloy PtRuIr/C catalyst, one amorphous and one highly crystalline, were synthesized and compared to determine the effect of their respective structures on their activity and stability as ...
