The costs of HIV prevention for different target populations in Mumbai, Thane and Banglalore [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2011
Background Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative, delivers HIV prevention services to high-risk populations at scale. Although the broad costs of such HIV interventions are known, to-date there has been little data available on the comparative costs of ...

Evolutionary trade-offs of insecticide resistance – the fitness costs associated with target-site mutations in the nAChR of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2020
The evolution of resistance to drugs and pesticides poses a major threat to human health and food security. Neonicotinoids are highly effective insecticides used to control agricultural pests.

Effects of horizontal displacement and inter-character spacing on transposed-character effects in same-different matching

PLoS ONE, 2022
In two same-different matching experiments we investigated whether transposed-character effects can be modulated by the horizontal displacement or inter-character spacing of target stimuli (strings of 6 consonants, digits, or symbols).

RT Slowing to Valid Cues on a Reflexive Attention Task in Children and Young Adults

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Peripheral cueing tasks can be used to measure reflexive (automatic) attention. In these tasks, increases in response time or RT (costs) typically follow contralateral (invalid) cues as attention must move from the location of the cue to the target ...

The impact of Relative Prevalence on dual-target search for threat items from airport X-ray screening [PDF]

, 2010
The probability of target presentation in visual search tasks influences target detection performance: thisis known as the prevalence effect (Wolfe et al., 2005).

Differences in Germination of ACCase-Resistant Biotypes Containing Isoleucine-1781-Leucine Mutation and Susceptible Biotypes of Wild Oat (Avena sterilis ssp. ludoviciana)

Plants, 2021
Herbicide resistance can affect seed germination and the optimal conditions required for seed germination, which in turn may impose a fitness cost in resistant populations. Winter wild oat [Avena sterilis L. ssp. ludoviciana (Durieu) Gillet and Magne] is

The Effectiveness of the Clarke & Wright Savings Algorithm in Determining Logistics Distribution Routes (case study PT.XYZ) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
A good logistics system is one factor that affects the smooth running of company activities. Currently, transportation costs account for about two-thirds of total logistics costs, so to increase efficiency, companies try to maximize the use of ...

Rapid target foraging with reach or gaze: The hand looks further ahead than the eye.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2017
Real-world tasks typically consist of a series of target-directed actions and often require choices about which targets to act on and in what order. Such choice behavior can be assessed from an optimal foraging perspective whereby target selection is ...
