The double sticky trap (DST) is described for the first time and is evaluated along with standard ovitraps and sticky traps (STs) to determine population densities of Ae. aegypti in the urban township of St. Augustine and the rural community of Tamana, Trinidad, West Indies. Ten houses were selected at each study site. At each of the ten houses, one ovitrap, one ST, and one DST were placed usin...

Augustine was suspicious of charismatics‘ claims to superior righteousness, which supposedly authorized them to relay truths about creation and redemption. What follows finds the origins of that suspicion in his disenchantment with celebrities on whom Manichees relied, specialists whose impeccable behavior and intellectual virtuosity were taken as signs that they possessed insight into the mean...

Many of the world’s active volcanoes are situated on or near coastlines. During eruptions, diverse geophysical mass flows, including pyroclastic flows, debris avalanches, and lahars, can deliver large volumes of unconsolidated debris to the ocean in a short period of time and thereby generate tsunamis. Deposits of both hot and cold volcanic mass flows produced by eruptions of Aleutian arc volca...

The classical Western Christian theological paradigm for interpreting gender, male and female, in relation to creation, fall and redemption was developed by St. Augustine in the late 4early 5 centuries. Augustine originally followed the views taught by the Greek Church Fathers, such as Origen and Gregory Nyssa. According to the Greek view humanity was originally created in immortal incorporeal ...

1% in 2000. Although the objective was far from being reached (the current rate being close to 2%), in 2000 Mexico had 53 million inhabitants fewer than it would have had if fertility had remained at its 1970 level. The population pyramids of 1930, 1970 and 2000 clearly illustrate this dynamics (Figure 2). In 1930 the population was beginning to recover from the aftereffects of the Revolution a...

L ittle bulbous neuronal protrusions known as spines slow diffusion along dendrites, say Fidel Santamaria, George Augustine (Duke University, Durham, NC), and colleagues. Based on their new data, they offer a new hypothesis for how active synapses are tagged during long-term potentiation (LTP). Spines are thought to act locally by preventing the chemical messengers made at a synapse from leakin...
