attention to interesting aspects of natural history. In most of my research projects I try to reserve a little bit of time for taking photographs. Our projects on waterbirds are ideal for combining data collection with a bit of photography — we observe our focal broods from floating, mobile blinds, in wetlands teeming with waterbirds. With a really good blind, it’s like being invisible — we oft...

The fabless integrated circuit (IC) design is one of the most important sectors of the semiconductor industry. In 2010, the total revenue of the fabless IC design sector had already hit US$59.6 billion, accounting for one-fifth of the total semiconductor industry revenue. Thus, understanding the efficiency of fabless IC design houses is critical not only for managers of fabless IC design houses...

BACKGROUND To assess whether the individual housing-based socioeconomic status (SES) measure termed HOUSES was associated with post-myocardial infarction (MI) mortality. METHODS The study was designed as a population-based cohort study, which compared post-MI mortality among Olmsted County, Minnesota, USA, residents with different SES as measured by HOUSES using Cox proportional hazards model...

OBJECTIVES Socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established risk factor for many health outcomes. Recently, we developed an SES measure based on 4 housing-related characteristics (termed HOUSES) and demonstrated its ability to assess health disparities. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether fewer housing-related characteristics could be used to provide a similar representation of SES. S...

Parasitic gastrointestinal infections are one of the most important health problems in the developing countries, which lead to the onset of intestinal disease particularly diarrhoea. Due to the particular geographic situation in the Mazandaran province, individuals are infected with various intestinal parasites. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of enteropathogenic para...
