Some Recent Mammal Records

New records for Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection in small mammal species

BACKGROUND Tick-borne diseases pose a major threat in public health. The epidemiological dynamics of these diseases depends on the tick vector species and their hosts, as well as the geographical distribution and ecology of both. Among many possible hosts for ticks, small mammals have a major role in the development of immature stages of several tick species. Small mammals are also important re...

Quantum Complexity: Some Recent Results, Some Open Problems, Some Thoughts

This talk will discuss some recent results on the complexity theory of quantum computing. The long term goal is to understand exactly the relationship between the new quantum complexity classes and the classic ones. It is assumed that you are not an expert in: quantum flavordynamics, quantum geometrodynamics, quantum hydrodynamics, quantum magnetodynamics, quantum triviality, Schrödinger’s equa...
