The effect of facility-based antiretroviral therapy programs on outpatient services in Kenya and Uganda

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research, 2017
Background Considerable debate exists concerning the effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) service scale-up on non-HIV services and overall health system performance in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we examined whether ART services affected trends

Oral rehydration therapies in Senegal, Mali, and Sierra Leone: a spatial analysis of changes over time and implications for policy

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2020
Background Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a simple intervention that can prevent childhood deaths from severe diarrhea and dehydration. In a previous study, we mapped the use of ORS treatment subnationally and found that ORS coverage increased over ...

Metrics for pitch collections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Models of the perceived distance between pairs of pitch collections are a core component of broader models of the perception of tonality as a whole. Numerous different distance measures have been proposed, including voice-leading, psychoacoustic, and ...

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Approximating topological metrics by Riemannian metrics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1995
We study the relation between (topological) inner metrics and Riemannian metrics on smoothable manifolds. We show that inner metrics on smoothable manifolds can be approximated by Riemannian metrics. More generally, if f : M → X f:M \to X is a continuous surjection from a smooth manifold to a ...

Interferon-gamma release assay levels and risk of progression to active tuberculosis: a systematic review and dose-response meta-regression analysis

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Identifying and treating individuals with high risk of progression from latent tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis (TB) disease is critical for eliminating the disease.

Comparison of Invariant Metrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We estimate the boundary behavior of the Kobayashi metric on $\C\sm\set{0,1}$. We also compare the Bergman metric on the ring domain in $\C^{2}$ to the Bergman metric on the ball.Comment: submitted.

Einstein Metrics on Spheres

open access: yes, 2003
We prove the existence of an abundance of new Einstein metrics on odd dimensional spheres including exotic spheres, many of them depending on continuous parameters. The number of families as well as the number of parameter grows double exponentially with

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...
