KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGARDING TICKS AND TICK-BORNE DISEASES

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Native Americans in northern California regarding ticks and tick-borne diseases

Reports of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are increasing worldwide, particularly in North America where a diversity of endemic and exotic tick species and pathogens occur.Native American populations have unique outdoor cultural and occupational practices that may impact their exposure to ticks, yet this risk remains understudied in the context of TBD.T

Load angle estimation of synchronous generator

In this paper a load angle estimation method of round rotor synchronous generator is presented, for load angle limiter in AVR systems Knob Spring Clip design purpose.To get information of load angle, it is necessary to have values of the one terminal voltage, one phase current and q-axis reactance Xq.Mentioned values are acquired by synchronous sam

Frontloading selectivity: A third way in scientific publishing?

Prestigious scientific journals traditionally decide which articles to accept at least partially based on the results of research.This backloaded selectivity enforces publication bias and encourages authors to selectively report their most persuasive findings, even when they are misleading, biased, and unreliable.One answer to backloaded selectivit

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans regulate the growth, differentiation and migration of multipotent neural precursor cells through the integrin signaling pathway

Abstract Background Neural precursor cells (NPCs) are defined by their ability to proliferate, self-renew, and retain the potential to differentiate into neurons and Tools glia.Deciphering the factors that regulate their behaviors will greatly aid in their use as potential therapeutic agents or targets.Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are
