Aerosol Health Effects from Molecular to Global Scales

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with adverse health outcomes, including mortality by cardiovascular and respira ...

On the plausibility of socioeconomic mortality estimates derived from linked data: a demographic approach

Mathias Lerch

Reliable estimates of mortality according to socioeconomic status play a crucial role in informing the policy debate about social inequality, social cohesion, and exclusion as well as about the reform of pension systems. Linked mortality data have become a ...

Periurbanization and the Transformation of the Urban Mortality Gradient in Switzerland

Mathias Lerch

While regional differences in life expectancy have flattened out in Switzerland, we investigate the effect of periurbanization on the geography of mortality. Using data from vital statistics and censuses, we find an increasing intra-urban differentiation o ...

Spatial Areas of Genotype Probability of Cattle Genomic Variants Involved in the Resistance to East Coast Fever: A Tool to Predict Future Disease-Vulnerable Geographical Regions

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

East Coast Fever (ECF) is a livestock disease caused by Theileria parva, a protozoan transmitted by the vector tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. This disease causes high mortality in cattle populations of Central and Eastern Africa, especially in exotic b ...

Scattering coefficients for the automatic diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia

Ivan Benjamin Baeriswyl

Perinatal Asphyxia is causing the death of about 1.2 million newborn infants every year. It is one of top three causes of infant mortality in developing countries. The current way of determining the occurrence of perinatal asphyxia is by the analysis of a ...

Early life exposure to PCB126 results in delayed mortality and growth impairment in the zebrafish larvae

Kristin Schirmer

The occurrence of chronic or delayed toxicity resulting from the exposure to sublethal chemical concentrations is an increasing concern in environmental risk assessment. The Fish Embryo Toxicity (FET) test with zebrafish provides a reliable prediction of a ...

Gaussian (dirty) multiple access channels: a compute-and-forward perspective

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jingge Zhu

Lattice codes are applied to the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) combined with a modified compute-and-forward transmitting scheme. It is shown that non-corner points on the boundary of the capacity region can be achieved by decoding two int ...

The Response of the Mediterranean Gorgonian Eunicella singularis to Thermal Stress Is Independent of Its Nutritional Regime

Alexandre Buttler, Leïla Ezzat

Over the last few decades, sessile benthic organisms from the Mediterranean Sea have suffered from the global warming of the world's oceans, and several mass mortality events were observed during warm summers. It has been hypothesized that mortality could ...

Binding of Lassa virus perturbs extracellular matrix-induced signal transduction via dystroglycan

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Marie-Laurence Moraz, Stefan Kunz, Christelle Pythoud

The arenavirus Lassa virus (LASV) causes a severe haemorrhagic fever with high mortality in man. The cellular receptor for LASV is dystroglycan (DG). DG is a ubiquitous receptor for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which cooperates with beta 1 integrin ...

Connecting Ventricular Assist Devices to the Aorta: a Numerical Model

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Jean Bonnemain

Mechanical circulatory support, in particular ventricular assist devices (VAD), has been recently proposed as an alternative to transplantation in the treatment of terminal heart failure in the context of the lack of donors and raising number of patients o ...
