There has long been reason to anticipate a major heterosexual epidemic of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and probably in the rest of Melanesia. From the social and behavioural perspectives, Melanesia is strikingly similar to other areas of the world with serious epidemics of AIDS. High levels of other sexually transmitted infections indicate behaviour patter...

Interaction of the Duffy binding protein (DBP) with its erythrocyte receptor is critical for maintaining Plasmodium vivax blood-stage infections, making DBP an appealing vaccine candidate. The cysteine-rich region II is the ligand domain of DBP and a target of vaccine development. Interestingly, most of the allelic diversity observed in DBP is due to the high rate of nonsynonymous polymorphisms...

The Papua New Guinea (PNG) tsunami of July 1998 was a seminal event because it demonstrated that relatively small and relatively deepwater Submarine Mass Failures (SMFs) can cause devastating local tsunamis that strike without warning. There is a comprehensive data set that proves this event was caused by a submarine slump. Yet, the source of the tsunami has remained controversial. This controv...

The key health priorities for Papua New Guinea (PNG) are to alleviate poverty, improve nutrition, ensure safe drinking water and sanitation, prevent and treat infectious diseases such as malaria, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome), reduce infant and maternal mortality, and reduce the disability and death arisi...

We study the creation of electron-positron pairs in vacuum induced by multi-photon transition process with combined oscillating fields. According to computational quantum field theory and split operator technique, we numerically solve spatiotemporally dependent Dirac equation. The effects frequencies on yields energy distributions are investigated.First, show that even for subcritical fields, g...

In recent years, various novel phenomena have been observed in two-dimensional semiconductor moiré systems, including the excitons, strongly-correlated electronic states and vertical ferroelectricity. To gain an insight into underlying physical mechanisms of these intriguing phenomena, it is essential to understand interlayer coupling form electrons systems. this work, position- momentum-depend...

Graph theory plays a significant role in variety of real-world systems. concepts such as labeling and coloring are used to depict processes relationships material, social, biological, physical, information Specifically, graph is communication network addressing, fault-tolerant system design, automatic channel allocation, etc. 2-odd assigns distinct integers the nodes <img src=image/13427595_01....
