Cultural imagery and statistical models of the force of mortality: Addison, Gompertz and Pearson [PDF]
We describe selected artistic and statistical depictions of the force of mortality (hazard or mortality rate), which is a concept that has long preoccupied actuaries, demographers and statisticians.

Rapid detection of triazophos in cucumber using lateral flow immunochromatographic assay
In developing countries, pesticides such as triazophos (TZP) are widely used in agriculture. However, the misuse TZP poses a threat to human health and the environment due to its high chemical and photochemical stability.

Development of a nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay for simultaneous detection of Listeria spp. and Listeriamonocytogenes in food [PDF]
We present a new nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay (NALFIA) for the assessment of listeria contamination. The detection procedure starts with enrichment of sample in Half Fraser broth (24 h). Following isolation of DNA, a duplex PCR is performed with

Ectopic A-lattice seams destabilize microtubules [PDF]
Natural microtubules typically include one A-lattice seam within an otherwise helically symmetric B-lattice tube. It is currently unclear how A-lattice seams influence microtubule dynamic instability.

A point-of-care lateral flow assay for neutralising antibodies against SARS-CoV-2
Background: As vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are now being rolled out, a better understanding of immunity to the virus, whether from infection, or passive or active immunisation, and the durability of this protection is required. This will benefit from the
