Evidence of habitat structuring Aedes albopictus populations in Réunion Island.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Arbovirus vector dynamics and spread are influenced by climatic, environmental and geographic factors. Major Chikungunya and Dengue fever outbreaks occurring the last 10 years have coincided with the expansion of the mosquito vector Aedes albopictus to ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cornerstone therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the weight‐based dosing does not account for clinical factors that can introduce individual variability in drug metabolism and clearance. We leveraged longitudinal data from a prospective SLE cohort to identify clinical factors that predict ...

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Short‐Term Functional Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can accumulate functional status (FS) impairment. We evaluated the association between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and FS in a national SLE sample.

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems
International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

The extraordinary mating system of Zeus bugs (Heteroptera: Veliidae: Phoreticovelia sp)
, 2007 Wingless female Zeus bugs (genus: Phoreticovelia) produce a secretion from dorsal glands that males feed upon when riding on females. This unique form of sex-role-reversed nuptial feeding may have set the stage for an unusual mating system.

Male courtship of immature males requires ppk25 function.
, 2014 A. ppk25 expression in gustatory neurons defined by ppk25-Gal4 is required for male courtship of immature males. CI, fraction of males initiating courtship toward decapitated immature males and Total Behavioral Index (TBI) were calculated for ppk25 ...

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.
