The participants carried the device for 48 h and kept a time-activity diary using a smartphone [...] 4 times. Each frequency band contribution to total RF-EMF exposure consisted of 76.7%, 2.4%, 9.9%, 5.0%, 3.3%, and 2.6% for downlink, uplink, WiFi, FMRadio, TV, and WiBro bands, respectively. Among the

The trypanocidal benzoxaborole AN7973 inhibits trypanosome mRNA processing (Publications)

Individual mRNA 5'-ends are created by trans splicing of a short leader sequence, with coupled polyadenylation of the [...] not, however, always correlate and prolonged selection of trypanosomes in AN7973 resulted in only 1.5-fold resistance. It is therefore possible that the modes of action of oxaboroles that target trypanosome

RESULTS: We recruited and randomised 317 children from 40 community-clusters [...] coliforms and the occurrence of E.coli was evenly distributed between arms. The mean levels of kitchen PM2.5 and CO concentrations were 213 mug/m(3) and 4.8 ppm, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The trial arms are balanced
