IntroductionControl of triatomine infestation is a key strategy for the prevention of Chagas disease (CD).To promote this strategy, it is important to know which antecedents to behavioral change are the best to emphasize when promoting prevention.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine predictors for intention to prevent home infestation ba
Trends in Mean Annual Minimum and Maximum Near Surface Temperature in Nairobi City, Kenya
This paper examines the long-term urban modification of mean annual conditions Knitwear of near surface temperature in Nairobi City.Data from four weather stations situated in Nairobi were collected from the Kenya Meteorological Department for the period from 1966 to 1999 inclusive.The data included mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures, and
Analysis of a post-translational steroid induction system for GIGANTEA in Arabidopsis
Abstract Background To investigate the link between the flowering time gene GIGANTEA (GI) and downstream genes, an inducible GI system was developed in Arabidopsis thaliana L.Heynh.Transgenic Arabidopsis plant lines were generated with a steroid-inducible post-translational control system for GI.The gene expression construct consisted of the coding
Piloting development of species conservation action plans in Guinea
Conservation action plans need to be devised and implemented if we are to reduce the extinction risk faced by globally threatened plants.However, most plant species categorized as threatened globally on the IUCN Red List lack conservation action plans.In West Africa, Guinea is one of the most diverse countries in terms of botanical species.In total
Red blood cell aggregation, aggregate strength and oxygen transport potential of blood are abnormal in both homozygous sickle cell anemia and sickle-hemoglobin C disease
Background Recent evidence suggests that red blood cell aggregation and the ratio of hematocrit to blood viscosity (HVR), an index of the oxygen transport potential of blood, might considerably modulate blood flow dynamics in the microcirculation.It thus seems likely that these factors could play a role in sickle cell disease.Design and Methods We
