Trypanosoma brucei, unicellular parasites causing human sleeping sickness and animal nagana, have a great impact on the socio-economic environment of sub-Saharan Africa. The dynamics of the parasite a
Synthesis and antiparasitic and antifungal evaluation of 2'-arylsubstituted-1H,1'H-[2,5']bisbenzimidazolyl-5-carboxamidines (Publications)
A series of 2'-arylsubstituted-1H,1'H-[2,5']-bisbenzimidazolyl-5-carboxamidines were prepared in a six-step process starting from 4-amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile. The antiparasitic activity against Trypan
Effect of short-wave (6-22 MHz) magnetic fields on sleep quality and melatonin cycle in humans: the Schwarzenburg shut-down study (Publications)
This paper describes the results of a unique "natural experiment" of the operation and cessation of a broadcast transmitter with its short-wave electromagnetic fields (6-22 MHz) on sleep quality and m
Hierarchical modeling of gene-environment interactions: estimating NAT2 genotype-specific dietary effects on adenomatous polyps (Publications)
Data sparseness currently limits gene-environment interaction estimation. To improve effect estimates of gene-environment interactions, we give an overview of one approach, hierarchical modeling, and
