Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Does the cancer drugs fund lead to faster uptake of cost-effective drugs? A time-trend analysis comparing England and Wales [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) provides £200 million annually in England for ‘anti-cancer' drugs. METHODS: We used a controlled pre-/post-intervention design to compare IMS Health dispensing data for 15 cancer drugs (2007–2012) in England vs ...

Reconstruction of phonon relaxation times from systems featuring interfaces with unknown properties [PDF]
We present a method for reconstructing the phonon relaxation-time function τ[subscript ω]=τ(ω) (including polarization) and associated phonon free-path distribution from thermal spectroscopy data for systems featuring interfaces with unknown properties ...

DEVELOPING A PERRENIAL LIVING MULCH SYSTEM FOR MANAGING PESTS AND AUGMENTING NATURAL BIOCONTROL IN MARYLAND CANTALOUPE SYSTEMS [PDF]
This study investigated how alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum) and Virginia wildrye (Elymus virginicus), when interplanted as a living mulch with cantaloupe, (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis) would impact herbivorous and beneficial arthropod numbers.

Breakdown of similarity solutions : a perturbation approach for front propagation during foam improved oil recovery [PDF]
The pressure-driven growth model has been employed to study a propagating foam front in the foam improved oil recovery process. A first order solution of the model proves the existence of a concave corner on the front, which initially migrates downwards ...

Groups of units of integral group rings of Kleinian type [PDF]
We explore a method to obtain presentations of the group of units of an integral group ring of some finite groups by using methods on Kleinian groups. We classify the nilpotent finite groups with central commutator for which the method works and apply ...

Second harmonic generation in planar optical waveguides. [PDF]
We study optical second harmonic generation (SHG) in planar waveguide structures composed of several layers with different dielectric constants. We develop a general formalism for the calculation of mode generation by a planar antenna embedded in the ...
