Search for the rare decay B-s(0) -> mu(+) mu(-)
- 2013
-
In: Physical Review D. - 1550-7998 .- 1550-2368. ; 87:7, s. 072006-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We perform a search for the rare decay B-s(0) -> mu(+) mu(-) using data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This result is based on the full D0 Run II data set corresponding to 10.4 fb(-1) of p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV. We use a multivariate analysis to increase the sensitivity of the search. In the absence of an observed number of events above the expected background, we set an upper limit on the decay branching fraction of B(B-s(0) -> mu(+) mu(-)) < 15 x 10(-9) (12 x 10(-9)) at the 95% (90%) C.L.

Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults
- 2019

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities(.)(1,2) This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity(3-6). Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean BMI segregated by place of residence (a rural or urban area) from 1985 to 2017. We show that, contrary to the dominant paradigm, more than 55% of the global rise in mean BMI from 1985 to 2017-and more than 80% in some low- and middle-income regions-was due to increases in BMI in rural areas. This large contribution stems from the fact that, with the exception of women in sub-Saharan Africa, BMI is increasing at the same rate or faster in rural areas than in cities in low- and middle-income regions. These trends have in turn resulted in a closing-and in some countries reversal-of the gap in BMI between urban and rural areas in low- and middle-income countries, especially for women. In high-income and industrialized countries, we noted a persistently higher rural BMI, especially for women. There is an urgent need for an integrated approach to rural nutrition that enhances financial and physical access to healthy foods, to avoid replacing the rural undernutrition disadvantage in poor countries with a more general malnutrition disadvantage that entails excessive consumption of low-quality calories.

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny
- 2007

In: Nature. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 450:7167, s. 203-218

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than single-genome analyses can provide. The genomes of 12 Drosophila species, ten of which are presented here for the first time (sechellia, simulans, yakuba, erecta, ananassae, persimilis, willistoni, mojavensis, virilis and grimshawi), illustrate how rates and patterns of sequence divergence across taxa can illuminate evolutionary processes on a genomic scale. These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution. Despite remarkable similarities among these Drosophila species, we identified many putatively non-neutral changes in protein-coding genes, non-coding RNA genes, and cis-regulatory regions. These may prove to underlie differences in the ecology and behaviour of these diverse species.

Fabrication of Microfluidic Platform with Optimized Fluidic Network toward On-Chip Parallel Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment Process
- 2011
-
In: Japanese Journal of Applied Physics. - 0021-4922. ; 50:6, s. 05-06
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents the design and fabrication of a microplatform with the optimal fluidic network for an on-chip parallel "systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment" (SELEX) process. The effectiveness of the optimized fluidic network for on-chip five-plex aptamer screening was verified by measuring the airflow rate at the elution ports and visualizing the specific elution during the SELEX process. The proposed device with an optimally designed hydraulic resistance-balanced channel network could be feasible and utilized as a multiplex selection module for a parallel SELEX process.
