Differential Risk for Lyme Disease along Hiking Trail, Germany
To estimate relative risk for exposure to ticks infected with Lyme disease-causing spirochetes in different land-use types along a trail in Germany, we compared tick density and spirochete prevalence on ruminant pasture with that on meadow and fallow land.

متن کاملFlicker in the visual background impairs the ability to process a moving visual stimulus.
For the detection of a moving object, segregating the object from the background is a necessary first step. This segregation can be achieved by detection of differences in the spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal properties of the object and background. Here we investigate how flicker influences the perception of a moving object in man and monkey, and we examine the neuronal responses in extra...

متن کاملPatterns in Forest Clearing Along the Appalachian Trail Corridor

We estimate that 75,000 hectares of forest were lost to clearing during the decade of the 1990s inside a 16 km-wide corridor centered on the Trail. This loss represents 2.45 percent of forests within 8 km of the 3,500 km long trail. Managed f...
