Mosquito-based malaria transmission-blocking vaccines (mTBVs) target midgut-surface antigens of the Plasmodium parasite's obligate vector, the Anopheles mosquito. The alanyl aminopeptidase N (AnAPN1) is the leading mTBV immunogen; however AnAPN1's role in Plasmodium infection of the mosquito and how anti-AnAPN1 antibodies functionally block parasite transmission remains elusive. Here we present...

0105 Perspectives D espite the signifi cant progress in increasing our understanding of the immune mechanisms of multiple sclerosis (MS), in improving clinical classifi cation and brain imaging, and in developing new treatments, the factors that determine the course of the disease are mostly unknown [1]. Currently, it is nearly impossible to predict the course of MS, its severity in terms of di...

End-to-end protocols measure network characteristics and react based on their estimates of network performance. Network dynamics can alter the topology significantly, and thereby affect protocol operation. Topology changes may result in routing pathologies (such as route loops, packet interleaving), changes to the end-to-end path characteristics, network partition etc, that then impact the perf...

Background: Renewable energy (RE) production is a land-use driver with increasing impact on landscape configuration and a matter of controversial debate. Woody biomass cropping provides an opportunity to interlink RE supply with spatial planning goals, RE concepts and rural development programmes since it tackles several issues, ranging from climate or soil protection to over food production an...

A simple spreadsheet model was used to evaluate potential water quality benefits of high-density development. The question was whether the reduced land consumed by higher density development (vs. standard suburban developments) would offset the worse water quality generated by a greater amount of impervious surface in the smaller area. Total runoff volume and per acre loadings of total phosphor...

The rates of caesarean section (CS) have increased drastically over the past decade which has been reported in United States as 32% [1], Canada 22.5% [2] and United Kingdom 23.8% [3]. A study by the Indian Council of Medical Research in 33 tertiary care institutions noted that average CS rates increased from 2 1.8% in 1993–1994 to 25.4% in 1998–1999 [4]. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reco...
