Preventing Foodborne Illness: Clostridium botulinum by Keith R. Schneider, Rachael Silverberg, Alexandra Chang, Renée M. Goodrich-Schneider

“…The bacteria and spores alone do not cause disease, but they produce the botulinum toxin that causes botulism, a serious paralytic condition that can lead to death. Although it is one of the least common of the foodborne diseases, anyone is susceptible even with the ingestion of only a small amount of toxin present in contaminated food. …”

High-frequency electrochemical impedance measurements of self-assembled monolayer formation using CMOS-based nanocapacitor arrays by Selvaraj Chinnathambi, Mohammad Saghafi, Suryasnata Tripathy, Frans P. Widdershoven, Serge G. Lemay

“…Measuring the AC response of miniaturized electrodes is however highly challenging due to the parasitic capacitance of the interconnects. Here we employ nanoelectrodes integrated with readout circuitry on the same complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip to conduct measurements over a frequency range from 1.6 MHz to 50 MHz. …”

Power analysis-resistant based on NCL path balance by Fang LUO, Qing-yu OU, Xiao-ping WU

“…By applying this technique, the path balance structure of the NCL asynchronous circuit could be implemented on the premise that the characteristics of the orientated circuit would be un-changeable, and the leakage of the side-channel information aroused by the differences of the parasitic capacitor and the load capacitor could also be resisted.…”

La métamorphose de Yurupari : flûtes, trompes et reproduction rituelle dans le Nord-Ouest amazonien by Dimitri Karadimas

“…When anthropomorphized by the North-West Amazon populations, this pseudo-parasitical behaviour is seen as an insemination. Along with other characteristics and components from the hymenopter, this behaviour is an essential referent as much for the male initiation ritual as for the prohibition to see the sacred flutes that exists for women, thus constructing ideologically the bodies of both sexes. …”
