Successful mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns have brought several countries near the point of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) elimination. A diagnostic tool is needed to determine when the prevalence levels have decreased to a point that MDA campaigns can be discontinu...

Climate change is expected to exacerbate heat stress at the workplace in temperate regions, such as Slovenia. It is therefore of paramount importance to study present and future summer heat conditions and analyze the impact of heat on workers. A set of climate indices b...

International audience; High salt intake is a major risk factor of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Improving knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to salt intake in the general population is a key component of salt reduction strategies. The objectiv...

ABSTRACTThe toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules widely exist in bacteria, and their activities are associated with the persister phenotype of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). M. tb causes Tuberculosis, a contagious and severe airborne disease. There are ten Maz...

© 2016 ACM. For many years, Herlihy's elegant computability based Con- sensus Hierarchy has been our best explanation of the rela- tive power of various types of multiprocessor synchronization objects when used in deterministic algorithms. However, key to this hierarchy...

We report a study of final states containing a W boson and hadronic jets, produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC and comprise the full 2010 data sample of 36 pb^-1. Cross ...

A search for long-lived particles is performed using a data sample of 4.7 fb(-1) from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy. root s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No excess is observed above the estimated background and lower limits, a...
