This article is from BMJ Open , volume 2 . Abstract Objective: The current policy of measles vaccination at 9 months of age was decided in the mid-1970s. The policy was not tested for impact on child survival but was based on studies of seroconversion after measles vaccination at different ages. The authors examined the empirical evidence for the six underlying assumptions. Design: Secondary analysis. Data sources and methods: These assumptions have not been research issues. Hence, the...

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination has historically posed constraints on the recreational and commercial fishing industry in the Great Lakes. Empirical evidence suggests that PCB contamination represents a greater health risk from fish consumption than other legacy contaminants. The present study attempts a rigorous assessment of the spatio-temporal PCB trends in multiple species across the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes. We applied a Bayesian modelling framework, whereby we...

In the 1970s the ability of tricyclic antidepressants to inhibit acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) was discovered. The enzyme ASM catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide. ASM and ceramide were shown to play a crucial role in a wide range of diseases, including cancer,...

The core of the proof is a theorem which generalizes and sharpens earlier results on...

This article is from PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases , volume 8 . Abstract Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, has a large proportion of the world's poor livestock keepers, and is a hotspot for neglected zoonoses. A review of the 127 accessible publications on brucellosis in Nigeria reveals only scant and fragmented evidence on its spatial and temporal distribution in different epidemiological contexts. The few bacteriological studies conducted demonstrate the existence of Brucella...

In the present paper, we investigate the propagation of a massive spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ field, aiming at a direct application in hadronic models of the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) interaction. Suitable expressions for the contributions to the standard invariant amplitudes $A$ and $B$ are derived, applicable in the general case of isospin decomposition. We first deal with the details of the lengthy calculation involving the Rarita-Schwinger propagator and confirm the validity of the expressions which...

A well known property of the gamma-ray sources detected by COS-B in the 1970s, by the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory in the 1990s and recently by the Fermi observations is the presence of radio counterparts, in particular for those associated to extragalactic objects. This observational evidence is the basis of the radio-gamma-ray connection established for the class of active galactic nuclei known as blazars. In particular, the main spectral property of the radio counterparts associated with...

Until recently, the lower Euphrates basin in southeastern Turkey had remained closed to research. The region was virtually unexplored, an archaeological terra incognita. This situation was particularly regrettable since downstream in northern Syria recent archaeological work along the Euphrates basin had demonstrated beyond doubt the historical importance of the area. A dramatic change occurred in the second half of the 1970s as a result of the announcement of plans by the Turkish government to...

We study the evolution of the observed photospheric magnetic field and the modeled global coronal magnetic field during the past 3 1/2 solar activity cycles observed since the mid-1970s. We use synoptic magnetograms and extrapolated potential-field models based on longitudinal full-disk photospheric magnetograms from the NSO's three magnetographs at Kitt Peak, the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS) vector spectro-magnetograph (VSM), the spectro-magnetograph and the...

In this episode DIYChurch's residents JanJan, Dj Hobby and der warst present their fieldrecordings. Reaching from hardcore fieldrecordings to an epic sunrise on the island of Mauritius. Special Treasures for the first show in 2014 -the International Year of Family Farming and Crystallography. Field recording is the term used for an audio recording produced outside of a recording studio. Field recordings can be either of two varieties. Field recording of natural sounds, also called phonography...

This is the first 1972 episode of the very popular interactive kids TV show ZOOM (1972-78). Produced by WGBH/PBS in Boston, ZOOM was written by and performed by kids. Millions who were kids in the 1970s fondly remember this show. A fine 21st century updated version was broadcast on PBS from 1999 to 2006. Enjoy!
