Asymptotic Scenarios for the Proton's Central Opacity: An Empirical Study
Fagundes, D. A. [UNESP]; Menon, M. J.; Silva, P. V. R. G.; Capua, M.; Fiore, R.; Kumericki, K.; Papa, A.; PassekKumericki, K.; Tassi, E.; Vacca, G. P.Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T16:17:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; We present a model-independent analysis of the experimental data on the ratio X between the elastic and total cross-sections from pp and p (p) over bar scattering in the c.m. energy interval 5 GeV - 8 TeV. Using a novel empirical parametrization for that ratio as a function of the energy and based on th...
European survey on laboratory preparedness, response and diagnostic capacity fo...
Fernandez-García, M.D.; Negredo, A.; Papa, A.; Donoso-Mantke, O.; Niedrig, M.; Zeller, H.; Tenorio, A.; Franco, L.; ENIVD membersCrimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an infectious viral disease that has (re-)emerged in the last decade in south-eastern Europe, and there is a risk for further geographical expansion to western Europe. Here we report the results of a survey covering 28 countries, conducted in 2012 among the member laboratories of the European Network for Diagnostics of ‘Imported’ Viral Diseases (ENIVD) to assess labora...
Driving forces for changes in geographical distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks...
Medlock, J.M.; Hansford, K.M.; Bormane, A.; Derdakova, M.; Estrada-Peña, A.; George, J-C; Golovljova, I.; Jaenson, T.G.; Jensen, J-K; Jensen, P.M.Many factors are involved in determining the latitudinal and altitudinal spread of the important tick vector Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Europe, as well as in changes in the distribution within its prior endemic zones. This paper builds on published literature and unpublished expert opinion from the VBORNET network with the aim of reviewing the evidence for these changes in Europe and discusses the many...
Diagnostic Assays for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
Vanhomwegen, J.; Alves, M.J.; Zupanc, T.A.; Bino, S.; Chinikar, S.; Karlberg, H.; Korukluoglu, G.; Korva, M.; Mardani, M.; Mirazimi, A.; Mousavi, M.Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a highly contagious viral tick-borne disease with case-fatality rates as high as 50%. We describe a collaborative evaluation of the characteristics, performance, and on-site applicability of serologic and molecular assays for diagnosis of CCHF. We evaluated ELISA, immunofluorescence, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and low-density macroarray assays for detection...
