Women living in sub-Saharan Africa are more affected by HIV/AIDS than any other population in the world. Two-thirds of all new HIV infections worldwide occur in sub-Saharan Africa and over 60% of these infections are in women. Indeed, 70% of
all women globally who are infected with HIV reside in...
Racial/ethnic discrimination and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs may contribute to disparities in use and satisfaction with healthcare services and engaging in safer sex practices. Previous studies that examined racial/ethnic discrimination and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs focused primarily on African Americans with few studies focusing on Latinos. This study used longitudinal data from...

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), anti-carcinogens
present in the human diet, were tested for their in vivo
and in vitro effect on aflatoxin B₁. (AFB₁) metabolism, and DNA adduct
formation in the rainbow trout. Dietary BHA at either 0.3 or 0.03%
had no effect on the hepatic tumor incidence...
Nepal’s community forestry has been internationally recognized as an example of successful case of collective action. However, many scholars argue that although it has been successful in protecting forests from degradation, it has not been able to create an inclusive platform for political decision-making process. Using historical analysis, comparative case...
In high volume automated discrete item batch production systems, the batches or lots are typically fixed quantity (i.e., size), with setups incurred between the different production lots. Processing times for the fixed-size lots are relatively constant when the workstation is operating however, random workstation disruptions cause variability in the lot...
Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations
have been solved and are well documented in both the
contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining
technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal
uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information
content of speech. The work...
The relative role of cospeciation and host switching in the phylogenetic history of
ascomycete foliar symbionts is addressed in the orders Leotiales and Rhytismatales, fungi
associated predominantly with Pinaceae (Coniferales). Emphasis is placed on comparing
the evolution of the sister genera Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae) with that of the
pathogenic...
There is significant interest in titanium oxide and germanium-silicon oxide nanocomposites for optoelectronic, photocatalytic, and solar cell applications. The ability of the marine diatom Pinnularia sp. to uptake soluble metal oxides from cell culture medium, and incorporate them into the micro- and nano-structure of their amorphous silica cell walls, called...
