Survival for HIV patients has considerably improved after the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, viral resistance, co-infections and intercurrent infections monitoring. We have analyzed HIV registered cases between 19902013, starting from the hypothesis that the median survival of patients in the absence of antiretroviral therapy could be only five years, for the first decade of the period...

Quantifying soil pH at manifold spatio-temporal scales is critical for examining the impacts of global change on quality. It still unclear whether meteorological data and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) can be used to quantify in grasslands. Here, nine methods (i.e., RF: random-forest, GLR: generalized-linear-regression, GBR: generalized-boosted-regression, MLR: multiple-linear-re...

The L-arabinose utilization pathway was established in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by expressing the codon-optimized araA, araB, and araD genes of Lactobacillus plantarum. After overexpressing the TAL1, TKL1, RPE1, RKI1, and GAL2 genes and adaptive evolution, the L-arabinose utilization of the recombinant strain became efficient. The resulting strain displayed a maximum specific growth rate of 0....

Arad and Rubinstein (2012a) have designed a novel game to study level-k reasoning experimentally. Just like them, we find that the depth of reasoning is very limited and clearly different from equilibrium play. We show that such behavior is even robust to repetitions, hence there is, at best, little learning. However, under time pressure, behavior is, perhaps coincidentally, closer to equilibri...
