Classification of personal exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) for epidemiological research: Evaluation of different exposure... (Publications)
The use of personal exposure meters (exposimeters) has been recommended for measuring personal exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from environmental far-field sources in every
Problematic mobile phone use in adolescents: derivation of a short scale MPPUS-10 (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to derive a short version of the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS) using data from 412 adolescents of the Swiss HERMES (Health Effects Related to Mobile phonE use in adole
A model for radiofrequency electromagnetic field predictions at outdoor and indoor locations in the context of epidemiological research (Publications)
We present a geospatial model to predict the radiofrequency electromagnetic field from fixed site transmitters for use in epidemiological exposure assessment. The proposed model extends an existing mo
Membrane protein turnover by the m-AAA protease in mitochondria depends on the transmembrane domains of its subunits (Publications)
AAA proteases are membrane-bound ATP-dependent proteases that are present in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts and that can degrade membrane proteins. Recent evidence suggests dislocation of m
Protein degradation in mitochondria (Publications)
The biogenesis of mitochondria and the maintenance of mitochondrial functions depends on an autonomous proteolytic system in the organelle which is highly conserved throughout evolution. Components of
Evolution of two distinct phylogenetic lineages of the emerging human pathogen <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Comparative genomics has greatly improved our understanding of the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here we have used data from a genome m
