African swine fever: an unprecedented disaster and challenge to China

open access: yesInfectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018
Background African swine fever (ASF), caused by African swine fever virus, is a hemorrhagic and often fatal disease of domestic pigs and wild boar, which is notifiable to the World Organization for Animal Health.

Spin-lattice relaxation in the mixed state of the high-$T_c$ cuprates: electronic spin-flip scattering versus spin-fluctuations

open access: yes, 2000
Recent experimental and theoretical studies have established that the spin-lattice relaxation rate, $1/T_1$, measured in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments is a site-sensitive probe for the electronic spectrum in the mixed state of the high ...

Water Co‐Adsorption in Ultrathin Films of Ionic Liquids on Pt(111)

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
At 100 K, IL adsorption on D2O precovered Pt(111) partially displaces interfacial water resulting in a water‐IL co‐adsorbed layer. Upon heating to 130 K, IL ions migrate to the metal interface, thereby destabilizing adsorbed water as shown by the ≈10 K reduction in its desorption temperature.

THE ROLE OF ORNITHODOROS TICKS IN AFRICAN SWINE FEVER EPIDEMIOLOGY (SURVEY)

open access: yesВетеринария сегодня, 2018
The paper summarizes the data on biological characteristics of argasid ticks, their involvement in ASF epidemiology in Europe and Russian Federation. Infectious diseases transmission by tick bites is a serious medical and veterinary problem.

Environmental impact assessment of dietary scenarios: a comparison of methodological aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Dietary patterns have manifold impacts on the environment. • However, studies that assess dietary patterns operate with varying methodological approaches and underlying assumptions, which evoke different, and occasionally even contradicting,

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

African swine fever: A highly fatal disease that is spreading globally

open access: yesOpen Veterinary Journal
African swine fever (ASF) is caused by the ASF virus (ASFV), a double-stranded DNA virus classified under the family Asfarviridae and genus Asfivirus. Although outbreaks have been occurring since 1909, ASF was first documented in Kenya in 1921. The three

Orbital Ordering and Resonant X-ray Scattering in Layered Manganites

open access: yes, 1999
In layered manganites with orbital and charge orderings, the degeneracy of the Mn $4p$ orbitals as well as the $3d$ ones is lifted by the effects of the $4p$ bands and the local Coulomb interactions.

Shear wave structure of a transect of the Los Angeles basin from multimode surface waves and H/V spectral ratio analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We use broad-band stations of the ‘Los Angeles Syncline Seismic Interferometry Experiment’ (LASSIE) to perform a joint inversion of the Horizontal to Vertical spectral ratios (H/V) and multimode dispersion curves (phase and group velocity) for both ...

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.
