A land use regression model for predicting ambient fine particulate matter across Los Angeles, CA (Publications)
predicting fine particle or PM(2.5) mass over the five county metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of Los Angeles. PM(2.5) includes all particles with diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns. In the Los Angeles [...] MSA, 23 monitors of PM(2.5) were available in the year 2000. This study uses GIS to integrate data regarding land use, transportation and physical geography to derive a PM(2.5) dataset covering Los Angeles [...] regression was used to create the model for predicting the PM(2.5)...
Childhood mortality and its association with household wealth in rural and semi-urban Burkina Faso (Publications)
to study the effect of the respective wealth measure on under-5 mortality. RESULTS: We observed 1201 childhood deaths, corresponding to 5-year survival probability of 93.6% and 88% in the semi-urban and [...] under-5 mortality after adjustment for confounding. There was a similar but non-significant effect of household wealth on infant mortality, too. There was no effect of household wealth on under-5 mortality [...] the semi-urban area with access to piped water and electricity have an...

Satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) data has considerable potential in predicting PM2.5 concentrations, and thus provides an [...] explaining on average 82% of the daily PM2.5 concentrations when considering the whole period studied. In the context of Amazonia, it was the first study predicting PM2.5 concentrations using the latest high [...] producing knowledge regarding the level of pollution and its health...
Pyrimidine salvage in <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> bloodstream forms and the trypanocidal action of halogenated pyrimidines (Publications)
the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil was an excellent substrate for TbU3 and several 5-fluoropyrimidine analogues were investigated for uptake and trypanocidal activity; 5F-orotic acid, 5F-2'deoxyuridine displayed [...] strains. The analysis showed that 5-fluorouracil is incorporated into a large number of metabolites but likely exerts toxicity through incorporation into RNA. 5F-2'dUrd and 5F-2'dCtd are not incorporated into [...] into nucleic acids but act as prodrugs by inhibiting thymidylate...
