Comparative study of adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase domains of MuF polymorphic toxins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
With the ultimate goal of understanding the association of toxin‐immunity modules to temperate phages, we characterized toxins from three prophages and examined cross‐protection from immunity proteins. The toxins exhibit adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase activity and are toxic in Escherichia coli.

Pathways to the successful function and use of mid-tech household water and sanitation systems

Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development, 2021
Mid-tech water and sanitation infrastructure – interventions that make moderate use of resources, materials, and technology while providing improvements in health and well-being – may serve an important intermediate role for communities that cannot ...

Mathematics of Nested Districts: The Case of Alaska [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In eight states, a "nesting rule" requires that each state Senate district be exactly composed of two adjacent state House districts. In this paper we investigate the potential impacts of these nesting rules with a focus on Alaska, where Republicans have a 2/3 majority in the Senate while a Democratic-led coalition controls the House.

Mott-to-Goodenough insulator-insulator transition in LiVO$_2$ [PDF]

Phys. Rev. B 95, 214119 (2017), 2017
I critically examine Goodenough's explanation for the experimentally observed phase transition in LiVO$_2$ using microscopic calculations based on density functional and dynamical mean field theories. The high-temperature rhombohedral phase exhibits both magnetic and dynamical instabilities.

Exploring surface‐guided systems for intelligent breathing‐adapted four‐dimensional computed tomography: A comparison to infrared‐based reflective marker systems

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study evaluates the technical feasibility of adapting a surface monitoring system, designed for conventional four‐dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), to an intelligent, breathing‐adapted 4DCT and examines its potential to expand the currently limited range of supported surrogate systems.

Rapid detection of tuberculosis in remote Alaska

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2020
In a remote region of western Alaska where tuberculosis (TB) incidence remains relatively high, a rapid molecular detection assay (Xpert MTB/RIF) was introduced four years ago with goal of improving the ability to diagnose active pulmonary tuberculosis ...

Alaskan wild food harvester information needs and climate adaptation strategies

Ecology and Society, 2021
Changing biophysical conditions due to amplified climate change in northern latitudes has significant implications for species' habitat and populations and can dramatically alter interactions between harvesters and local resources.

An exploratory study examining the associations between sunlight exposure, sleep behaviours and sleep outcomes during an Arctic summer

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2019
Few evidence-based recommendations exist for maintaining healthy sleep during Arctic summers. Our study aimed to examine associations between sleep hygiene, sunlight exposure and sleep outcomes in workers living in and/or near the Arctic Circle during a ...

Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorder, with motor and cognitive symptoms. The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life;
