The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy
No full textSequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes binding to host receptors in the placenta such as chondroitin sulphate A (CSA). Identification of the parasite ligand(s) responsible for placental adhesion could lead to the development of a vaccine to induce antibodies to prevent placental sequestration. Such a vaccine would reduce the maternal anaemia and infant deaths that are associated with malaria in pregnancy. Current research indicates that the parasite ligands mediating placental adhesion may be members of the P. falciparum variant surface antigen family PfEMP1, encoded by var genes. Two relatively well-conserved subfamilies of var genes have been implicated in placental adhesion, however, their role remains controversial. This review examines the evidence for and against the involvement of var genes in placental adhesion, and considers whether the most appropriate vaccine candidates have yet been identified
Río Ciudad Monterrey: Space Production, Ecology and Culture
No full textThe book proceeds from the Río Ciudad interdisciplinary study conducted at the CRGS of the Universidad de Monterrey. Directed by Peter G. Rowe, Roberto Pasini and Patricio Ortiz Silva, the study addresses the status of the Santa Catarina River within the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico and the relationship between the two entities. Presenting a characterization of the urban segment of the river through the metropolitan area and four future scenarios of transformation, the study envisions programs aiming to increase sustainability and public space provision, with emphasis on improving the identity of the city

A modified rowe cell with bender elements for small strain shear modulus measurements
No full textThis is the accepted version of an article published in Geotechnical testing journal, Copyright 2024, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, DOI: 10.1520/GTJ20230329, 985-1005, go.astm.org/pubs.The small strain shear modulus (G0) is an important characteristic of geomaterials. Its laboratory measurements are very frequently based on bender element transducers installed in different geotechnical apparatuses. Despite their widespread use, there is room to improve the precision, reproducibility, and robustness of bender element measurements, which are currently hampered by an oversimplified interpretation model of the test. Aspects such as transducer directivity, apparatus-induced size effects, and boundary reflectivity are poorly understood and accounted for. This work presents a novel modified Rowe cell apparatus specifically designed to obtain experimental data relevant to those features. The modified Rowe cell uses transmitter and receiver bender elements on the same boundary of the sample, performing dynamic measurements in echo mode with variable initial specimen size. Additionally, the modified Rowe cell endorses the flexible installation of the receivers and enables the use of multiple receivers, with distinct orientations. Furthermore, the modified Rowe cell gives the option of using different boundary conditions at the reflecting end to test the dynamic properties of usual geotechnical testing apparatus interfaces such as (semi-) rigid enclosures and flexible membranes. A systematic reliability study of the bender element measurements on the modified Rowe cell is presented, along with some illustrative examples of the capabilities of the apparatus.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
