Spatially explicit modeling of cholera epidemics

Flavio Finger

Understanding the epidemiology of cholera, when and where it occurs and how it spreads, is key to its prevention and control. Models can help to apprehend cholera outbreaks by providing insight into critical epidemiological processes, and may be used to ev ...

Assessing the clinical outcome of Vim radiosurgery with voxel-based morphometry: visual areas are linked with tremor arrest!

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Constantin Tuleasca, Elena Najdenovska

Radiosurgery (RS) is an alternative to open standard stereotactic procedures (deep-brain stimulation or radiofrequency thalamotomy) for drug-resistant essential tremor (ET), aiming at the same target (ventro-intermediate nucleus, Vim). We investigated the ...

In situ tether formation from amines and alcohols enabling highly selective Tsuji-Trost allylation and olefin functionalization

Jérôme Waser, Ugo Jonathan Orcel

The use of tethers allows to overcome reactivity and selectivity issues often encountered with intermolecular reactions. Although tethers have been successfully applied for decades, their installation and removal usually requires additional steps. This min ...

Total hip arthroplasty using a cementless dual-mobility cup provides increased stability and favorable gait parameters at five years follow-up

Kamiar Aminian

Rates of dislocation following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) vary from 0.5 to 10%. Dual-mobility cups in THA demonstrate increased stability. Clinical outcomes following THA with dual-mobility cups have been reported, but gait has not been assessed. ...

Factors Affecting the Performance of Champion Silyl-Anchor Carbazole Dye Revealed in the Femtosecond to Second Studies of Complete ADEKA-1 Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Enrico Polanski, Jan Ernest Sobus

Record laboratory efficiencies of dye-sensitized solar cells have been recently reported using an alkoxysilyl-anchor dye, ADEKA-1 (over 14%). In this work we use time-resolved techniques to study the impact of key preparation factors (dye synthesis route, ...

Solvent-Enabled Nonenyzmatic Sugar Production from Biomass for Chemical and Biological Upgrading

Jeremy Luterbacher, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago, Jher Hau Yeap

We recently reported a nonenzymatic biomass deconstruction process for producing carbohydrates using homogeneous mixtures of γ-valerolactone (GVL) and water as a solvent. A key step in this process is the separation of the GVL from the aqueous phase, enabl ...

Patient-specific spinal stiffness in AIS: a preoperative and noninvasive method

Steve Michel Berger

The clinical tests currently used to assess spinal biomechanics preoperatively are unable to assess true mechanical spinal stiffness. They rely on spinal displacement without considering the force required to deform a patient's spine. We propose a preopera ...
