Endemic mycoses, such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, and penicilliosis, have emerged as important health threats among travelers to regions of the world where these infections are endemic. Travelers have developed fungal infections as a result of a wide range of recreational and work activities, many of which have involved well-recognized risk factors for these diseases. In some instanc...

Genomic data have become commonplace in most branches of the biological sciences and have fundamentally altered the way research is conducted. However, the predominance of short-read sequence data from second-generation sequencing technologies has commonly resulted in fragmented and partial genomic data characteristics. In this opinion, I will highlight how long, unbiased reads from single mole...

In many experimental situations it is an equation of the forced relaxator and not of the forced oscillator that describes a variation in the acoustic field of the interface width (i.e. of a characteristic distance between the surfaces composing the interface). The developed theory predicts that some types of the nonlinear relaxators (depending on the structure of the nonlinear interaction force...
