Optimizing the colour and fabric of targets for the control of the tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Most cases of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) start with a bite from one of the subspecies of Glossina fuscipes. Tsetse use a range of olfactory and visual stimuli to locate their hosts and this response can be exploited to lure tsetse ...

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Freak Shows on the Page: Defining ‘criminanimality’ in Newgate Fiction (1830-1847)

open access: yesCahiers Victoriens et Edouardiens, 2017
The early Victorian era was marked by a specific concern as regards criminality, a concern that was relayed in literature, notably through Newgate novels. In these, we discover portraits of criminals whose infamy was linked with and defined via the prism

The Deviance of the Zookeepers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In May 1968 Alvin Gouldner published his attack on the ‘Becker School’ of sociology (‘The Sociologist as Partisan’). The essay was a sometimes sarcastic and brutal but characteristically insightful and sharp critique of what he called the ‘Becker School’

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Female Offenders at the Confluence of Medical and Penal Discourses: Towards a Gender-Specific Criminology (1860s-1920s)

open access: yesCahiers Victoriens et Edouardiens, 2018
The Victorian era was characterised by a fascination with the criminal’s psyche. In the late 1860s, this interest in the criminal mind fused with scientific and medical breakthroughs to create a hybrid, cross-disciplinary field focused on understanding ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Student Perception of Parental Responses to Their Adolescent Behaviors: the Characteristics of Those Who are Labeled Negatively and the Impact of the Labels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The following research uses labeling theory to determine what type of individual is most likely to be labeled negatively by their parents during adolescence. Labeling theory hypothesizes that if an individual is negatively labeled they are more likely to

Bayesian model comparison and model averaging for small-area estimation

open access: yes, 2009
This paper considers small-area estimation with lung cancer mortality data, and discusses the choice of upper-level model for the variation over areas. Inference about the random effects for the areas may depend strongly on the choice of this model, but ...
