Comprendre la construction des périphéries urbaines à Lomé et Yaoundé
Urbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa is mainly marked by an extremely high speed. For a couple of decades, it has become more and more difficult to study and control the urbanization processes using the available means due to their rapidity. These conditions ...
EPFL2020Demonstration of Multiple Kerr-Frequency-Comb Generation Using Different Lines From Another Kerr Comb Located Up To 50 km Away
Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Fatemeh Alishahi, Lin Zhang, Ahmad Fallahpour
On-chip Kerr frequency combs are potentially promising to enhance many applications because of their broad-band operation and chip-scale integration. Such combs offer various mutually coherent optical carriers that can potentially be used as both coherent ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2019The Demographic History of African Drosophila melanogaster
Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent
As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2018Made by China: the transformation of an African city
Over the past two decades China has become increasingly involved in Africa. From rising trade and investment capital to a rapid climb in industrial and construction activity, a new foundation has been laid for Africaâs development. While Africaâs econo ...
EPFL2015Accuracy and Precision of Head Motion Information in Multi-Channel Free Induction Decay Navigators for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Free induction decay (FID) navigators were found to qualitatively detect rigid-body head movements, yet it is unknown to what extent they can provide quantitative motion estimates. Here, we acquired FID navigators at different sampling rates and simultaneo ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2015Two ancient human genomes reveal Polynesian ancestry among the indigenous Botocudos of Brazil
Summary Understanding the peopling of the Americas remains an important and challenging question. Here, we present 14C dates, and morphological, isotopic and genomic sequence data from two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of ...
Cell Press2014New-Infrastructure: the LRT in Addis Ababa and its socio/urban transformation
Due to its drastic development and evolution from a unique urban model to a new form of an “African City”, Africa's capital city Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was presented as an exemplary city pointing out issues evolving from rapid urbanization and the implemen ...
2013Irish post-primary students' attitudes towards ethnic minorities
The changing ethnic make-up of Irish society has impacted upon schools. Existing, largely qualitative studies have highlighted mixed attitudes towards ethnic minorities. Literature has also focused on the role of the state in articulating a discourse that ...
2012Common human genetic variants and HIV-1 susceptibility: a genome-wide survey in a homogeneous African population
To date, CCR5 variants remain the only human genetic factors to be confirmed to impact HIV-1 acquisition. However, protective CCR5 variants are largely absent in African populations, in which sporadic resistance to HIV-1 infection is still unexplained. We ...
2011Host determinants of HIV-1 control in African Americans
We performed a whole-genome association study of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) set point among a cohort of African Americans (n = 515), and an intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HLA-B gene showed one of the strongest associa ...
