Experimental Evidence for Reduced Rodent Diversity Causing Increased Hantavirus Prevalence

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have become a major global environmental problem with important public health, economic, and political consequences. The etiologic agents of most emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, and anthropogenic environmental changes that affect wildlife communities are increasingly implicated in disease emergence and spread. Although increased disease in...

Pathology effects at radiation doses below those causing increased mortality.

Mortality data from experiments conducted at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) on the long-term effects of external whole-body irradiation on B6CF(1) mice were used to investigate radiation-induced effects at intermediate doses of (60)Co gamma rays or fission-spectrum neutrons either delivered as a single exposure or protracted over 60 once-weekly exposures. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used ...

Blocked Clause Decomposition

We demonstrate that it is fairly easy to decompose any propositional formula into two subsets such that both can be solved by blocked clause elimination. Such a blocked clause decomposition is useful to cheaply detect backbone variables and equivalent literals. Blocked clause decompositions are especially useful when they are unbalanced, i.e., one subset is much larger in size than the other on...

Blocked Literals Are Universal

We recently introduced a new proof system for Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF), called QRAT, that opened up a variety of new preprocessing techniques. This paper presents a concept that follows from the QRAT proof system: blocked literals. Blocked literals are redundant universal literals that can be removed or added to clauses. We show that blocked literal elimination (BLE) and blocked litera...
