Forest fires are time evolving disasters that consume environmental and financial resources, endangering the rescue units that try to mitigate them. As such, a simulator that can predict the fire propagation is essential to locate control systems, in order to reduce the loss of natural resources without risking the firefighters. This paper proposes a simulator based on discrete representation o...

Performance of two new air sampling bags [the transparent bag (TP bag) and the semi-transparent bag (ST bag)] was examined as possible surrogates for the traditional PVF bag (the Ref bag). Solvent vapor mixture of butyl acetate, chloroform, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol and toluene at administrative control levels were introduced to each bag (n=5 for each of the three types), and the decay i...

In 2015, we investigated Bartonella quintana and typhus group rickettsiae in body lice from homeless persons in Bogotá, Colombia. We found B. quintana-infected body lice and seroprevalence of this microorganism in 19% of homeless persons and typhus group rickettsiae in 56%. Public health professionals should start preemptive measures and active vector control.

The Bcl-2 oncoprotein is a key regulator of apoptosis and the Bag-1 protein interacts with Bcl-2 and cooperates with Bcl-2 to suppress apoptosis. The human Bag-1 cDNA is essentially identical with a previously described cDNA encoding RAP46, which interacts with activated steroid hormone receptors. However, there is considerable confusion over the structure of Bag-1/RAP46 proteins and their rela...
