Review of risk factors for human echinococcosis prevalence on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China: a prospective for control options
Journal Article

Objective: Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health estimated that 380,000 people had the disease in the region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is highly co-endemic...

Single-phase bimetallic system for the selective oxidation of glycerol to glycerate
Journal Article
Prati, L., Villa, A., Su, D., Wang, D., Krpetic, Z., & Porta, F. Single-phase bimetallic system for the selective oxidation of glycerol to glycerate. Studies in surface science and catalysis, 162, 553-560. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-2991%2806%2980952-3

Au-Pd bimetallic systems on carbon, (Pd@Au)/C (1) and Pd@Au/C (2), have been prepared by using metallic colloidal solutions, following two different procedures. The total metal loading was 1%wt and Au/Pd molar ratio 6/4. The catalytic activities have... Read More about Single-phase bimetallic system for the selective oxidation of glycerol to glycerate.

Lamellar body exocytosis by cell stretch or purinergic stimulation : possible physiological roles, messengers and mechanisms
Journal Article
Dietl, P., Liss, B., Felder, E., Miklavc, P., & Wirtz, H. Lamellar body exocytosis by cell stretch or purinergic stimulation : possible physiological roles, messengers and mechanisms. Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 25(001), 001-012. https://doi.org/10.1159/000272046

A major function of the pulmonary alveolar type II cell is the secretion of surfactant, a lipoprotein-like substance, via exocytosis of secretory vesicles termed lamellar bodies (LBs). The process of surfactant secretion is remarkable in several aspe...

Polish yers and extrasyllabicity - an autosegmental account
Journal Article
Bekerman, M. Polish yers and extrasyllabicity - an autosegmental account. https://doi.org/10.1075/llsee.38.06pio

The author applies the principles of autosegmental phonology to explain the irregularities in the Polish vowel alternations. He focuses on the CVC - CC final syllable variations in numerous Polish words to postulate the concept of extrasyllabic vowel...

Using blind signal processing algorithms to remove wind noise from environmental noise assessments : a wind turbine amplitude modulation case study
Journal Article
Kendrick, P., von Hünerbein, S., & Cox, T. Using blind signal processing algorithms to remove wind noise from environmental noise assessments : a wind turbine amplitude modulation case study. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 138(3), 1731-1732. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4933451

Microphone
wind noise can corrupt outdoor measurements and recordings. It is a particular problem for wind turbine
measurements because these cannot be carried out when the wind speed is low. Wind shields can be used, but often the sound level from...
