چکیده
There is an urgent and continuing need to identify cost-effective and practical interventions to prevent HIV transmission. Three recent studies have found that male circumcision can significantly reduce HIV incidence in men. These results opened an enormous potential intervention for HIV prevention in African countries. We propose to replicate one of the studies conducted in Kisumu, Kenya, to shed additional light on the relationship between circumcision status and HIV infection, and influence the policy trajectory. We will use the raw data and replicate methods used to produce the results presented in the published report, as well as employing methodologic modifications to include additional epidemiologic approaches and econometric approaches.

Replication for Linked Data
With the Semantic Web scaling up, and more triple-stores with update facilities being available, the need for higher levels of simultaneous triple-stores with identical information becomes more and more urgent. However, where such Data Replication approaches are common in the database community, there is no comprehensive approach for data replication for the Semantic Web. In this research propo...
متن کاملUsing P2P Techniques for Content Distribution Internetworking: A Research Proposal
In this paper we discuss the use of algorithms and techniques, currently deployed in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems, in the design of Content Distribution Internetworks (CDIs). Specifically, we propose a CDI design approach that addresses issues of request routing, content delivery, and replication, based on P2P techniques.
متن کاملProposed coupling of chromatin replication, hormone action, and cell differentiation.
DNA replication in isolated nuclei is highly dependent on the availability of soluble proteins from the cell cytoplasm. Activity is distributed nonrandomly among the different proteins, and the range of proteins that are required for optimal DNA replication varies with the fractions of DNA being replicated. Support of DNA replication has been correlated with the uptake of these proteins by nucl...

Cycle-specific replication of chromosomal and F-plasmid origins.
There have been various proposals for the pattern of F-plasmid replication during the division cycle. Here we show that the recent studies of Gordon et al. (Cell 90, 1113-1121, 1997) on the duplication and segregation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled replication origins of the Escherichia coli chromosome and the F plasmid during the division cycle support the proposal that the F plasm...
متن کاملSuppression of genetic defects within the RAD6 pathway by srs2 is specific for error-free post-replication repair but not for damage-induced mutagenesis.
srs2 was isolated during a screen for mutants that could suppress the UV-sensitive phenotype of rad6 and rad18 cells. Genetic analyses led to a proposal that Srs2 acts to prevent the channeling of DNA replication-blocking lesions into homologous recombination. The phenotypes associated with srs2 indicate that the Srs2 protein acts to process lesions through RAD6-mediated post-replication repair...
