Global trends in emerging infectious diseases
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are a significant burden on global economies and public health. Their emergence is thought to be driven largely by socio-economic, environmen...

World Population Prospects The 2006 Revision
The 2006 Revision of World Population Prospects represents the latest global demographic estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of E...
Inference of Population Structure Using Multilocus Genotype Data: Linked Loci and Correlated Allele Frequencies
Abstract We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that all...
Decadal Trends in the North Atlantic Oscillation: Regional Temperatures and Precipitation
Greenland ice-core data have revealed large decadal climate variations over the North Atlantic that can be related to a major source of low-frequency variability, the North Atla...
Human Malaria Parasites in Continuous Culture
Plasmodium falciparum can now be maintained in continuous culture in human erythrocytes incubated at 38°C in RPMI 1640 medium with human serum under an atmosphere with 7 percent...
Quantum Spin Hall Effect in Graphene
We study the effects of spin orbit interactions on the low energy electronic structure of a single plane of graphene. We find that in an experimentally accessible low temperatur...
Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
In recent years, many new cortical areas have been identified in the macaque monkey. The number of identified connections between areas has increased even more dramatically. We ...
An introduction to computing with neural nets
Artificial neural net models have been studied for many years in the hope of achieving human-like performance in the fields of speech and image recognition. These models are com...
The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we found an area in the fusiform gyrus in 12 of the 15 subjects tested that was significantly more active when the subjects v...
Network information flow
We introduce a new class of problems called network information flow which is inspired by computer network applications. Consider a point-to-point communication network on which...
The organization of the human cerebellum estimated by intrinsic functional connectivity
The cerebral cortex communicates with the cerebellum via polysynaptic circuits. Separate regions of the cerebellum are connected to distinct cerebral areas, forming a complex to...
Recombinant genomes which express chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in mammalian cells.
We constructed a series of recombinant genomes which directed expression of the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) in mammalian cells. The prototype recombinant in t...
