A Longitudinal Cohort Study of Malaria Exposure and Changing Serostatus in a Malaria Endemic Area of Rural Tanzania
(Malaria Journal, 2017-08-02)<h4>Background</h4>Measurements of anti-malarial antibodies are increasingly used as a proxy of transmission intensity. Most serological surveys are based on the use of cross-sectional data that, when age-stratified, approximates ... -
A model of variability in brain stimulation evoked responses.
(Conference proceedings : ... Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Conference, 2012)The input-output (IO) curve of cortical neuron populations is a key measure of neural excitability and is related to other response measures including the motor threshold which is widely used for individualization ... -
A policy simulation of the wetlands reserve program
(2017-11-30)Farmer participation in wetlands restoration practices is explained using land benefits, land attributes, and owner attributes. The probability of participation is estimated using county-level data, and used to calculate ... -
Annual Trends in Plastics Policy: A Brief
(2022-02-23)In 2020, the Plastics Policy Inventory and accompanying report, 20 Years of Government Responses to the Global Plastic Pollution Problem, were published, providing a baseline for the trends in government responses to the ... -
Bigger Change Faster
(2019-09)Today’s greatest sustainable development challenges can only be solved if we work together more effectively across the global development, health, and environmental communities. This report, co-authored by the Bridge ... -
Community Knowledge and Acceptance of Larviciding for Malaria Control in a Rural District of East-Central Tanzania
(Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health, 2014)The use of microbial larvicides, a form of larval source management, is a less commonly used malaria control intervention that nonetheless has significant potential as a component of an integrated vector management strategy. ... -
Comparing Stakeholder Perceptions With Empirical Outcomes From Negotiated Rulemaking Policies: Is Participant Satisfaction a Proxy for Policy Success?
(Marine Policy, 2016)Evaluation of natural resource management policies often is made difficult by lack of robust or long-term data on the resource. In the absence of empirical data, natural resource policy evaluation may rely on expert ... -
Degradation of Components of the Lpt Transenvelope Machinery Reveals LPS-Dependent Lpt Complex Stability in Escherichia coli.
(Frontiers in molecular biosciences, 2021-01)Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a peculiar component of the outer membrane (OM) of many Gram-negative bacteria that renders these bacteria highly impermeable to many toxic molecules, including antibiotics. LPS is assembled at ... -
Ecosystem change and human health: implementation economics and policy.
(Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2017-06)Several recent initiatives such as Planetary Health, EcoHealth and One Health claim that human health depends on flourishing natural ecosystems. However, little has been said about the operational and implementation challenges ... -
Evaluating Response Time in Zanzibar's Malaria Elimination Case-Based Surveillance-Response System.
(The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2019-02)As countries transition toward malaria elimination, malaria programs rely on surveillance-response systems, which are often supported by web- and mobile phone-based reporting tools. Such surveillance-response systems are ... -
Inhibition of the futalosine pathway for menaquinone biosynthesis suppresses Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
(FEBS letters, 2021-12)Chlamydia trachomatis, an obligate intracellular bacterium with limited metabolic capabilities, possesses the futalosine pathway for menaquinone biosynthesis. Futalosine pathway enzymes have promise as narrow-spectrum antibiotic ... -
Legacy of anthropogenic lead in urban soils: Co-occurrence with metal(loids) and fallout radionuclides, isotopic fingerprinting, and in vitro bioaccessibility
(Science of The Total Environment, 2021-10) -
Marketing energy efficiency: perceived benefits and barriers to home energy efficiency
(Energy Efficiency, 2018-01-15)Energy efficiency contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the associated mitigation of climate change. The uptake of energy efficiency measures in the residential sector requires significant ... -
Partnership Conference
(Annals of Global Health, 2017-10-27)© 2017 Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Background: The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) was founded in 2006 with a goal to foster interdisciplinary global health education and research across Duke University ... -
Plasmonic gold nanostars for synergistic photoimmunotherapy to treat cancer
(Nanophotonics, 2021-09-02)Cancer is the second leading cause of death and there is an urgent need to improve cancer management. We have developed an innovative cancer therapy named Synergistic Immuno Photothermal Nanotherapy (SYMPHONY) by combining ... -
Preference Heterogeneity in the Structural Estimation of Efficient Pigovian Incentives for Insecticide Spraying to Reduce Malaria
(Environmental and Resource Economics, 2017-01-18)This paper bridges the theoretical and empirical literatures on the role of preference heterogeneity in characterizing externalities related to disease transmission. We use a theoretical structure similar to locational sorting ... -
Process Evaluation of a Community-Based Microbial Larviciding Intervention for Malaria Control in Rural Tanzania.
(International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020-10-07)Microbial larviciding can be an effective component of integrated vector management malaria control schemes, although it is not commonly implemented. Moreover, quality control and evaluation of intervention activities are ... -
Spatial patterns of market participation and resource extraction: Fuelwood collection in Northern Uganda
(American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2017-07-01)While distance to markets is a key determinant of market participation for households that are dependent on natural resources, the distance to the resource stock is also essential. Thus, a household's location with respect ... -
Submarine landslide geomorphology, US continental slope
(Marine Geology, 2000-09-15)The morphometric analysis of submarine landslides in four distinctly different tectonic environments on the continental slopes of Oregon, central California, Texas, and New Jersey provides useful insight into submarine process, ... -
The Limits of Primary Radiation Forces in Bulk Acoustic Standing Waves for Concentrating Nanoparticles
(Particle and Particle Systems Characterization, 2018-07-01)Acoustic waves are increasingly used to concentrate, separate, and pattern nanoparticles in liquids, but the extent to which nanoparticles of different size and composition can be focused is not well-defined. This article ...
