Genetic variation among lambs in peripheral IgE activity against the larval stages of Teladorsagia circumcincta [PDF]
IgA and IgE activity against Teladorsagia circumcincta was investigated in a flock of Texel lambs following natural, mixed nematode infection among lambs.

The rainfall regime of West Africa is highly variable over a large range of space and time scales. With rainfall agriculture being predominent in the region, the local population is extremely vulnerable to intraseasonal dry spells and multi-year droughts

Sensitivity of centennial mass loss projections of the Amundsen basin to the friction law [PDF]
Reliable projections of ice sheets' future contributions to sea-level rise require models that are able to accurately simulate grounding-line dynamics, starting from initial states consistent with observations.

An autonomous low-power instrument platform for monitoring water and solid discharges in mesoscale rivers [PDF]
We present the development of the River Platform for Monitoring Erosion (RIPLE) designed for monitoring at high temporal frequency (∼10 min) of water discharge, solid fluxes (bedload and suspended load) and properties of fine particles (settling ...

Fetal mast cells mediate postnatal allergic responses dependent on maternal IgE
Maternal IgE activates fetal mast cells Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells that participate in allergic reactions through their activation by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies.

Environmental determinants of total IgE among school children living in the rural Tropics: importance of geohelminth infections and effect of anthelmintic treatment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The environmental factors that determine the elevated levels of polyclonal IgE observed in populations living in the Tropics are poorly understood but may include geohelminth infections.

Numerical modeling of the dynamics of the Mer de Glace glacier, French Alps: comparison with past observations and forecasting of near-future evolution [PDF]
Alpine glaciers are shrinking and rapidly loosing mass in a warming climate. Glacier modeling is required to assess the future consequences of these retreats on water resources, the hydropower industry and risk management.

IgE and mast cells in allergic disease
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies and mast cells have been so convincingly linked to the pathophysiology of anaphylaxis and other acute allergic reactions that it can be difficult to think of them in other contexts.

Prediction of an anti-IgE binding site on IgE [PDF]
A combination of computation techniques have been used to determine the binding site and amino acid residues on IgE that are critical for binding to a therapeutic anti-IgE. Homology modeling was used to model parts of IgE and of an antibody that binds to IgE.
