Clinical trials are essential in the translation of biomedical discoveries to new clinical interventions and therapeutics.Successful multisite clinical trials require qualified site investigators with an understanding of the full spectrum of processes and requirements from trial identification through closeout.New site investigators may be deterred
Abstract Background In the Dominican Republic, a recent outbreak of malaria in the capital, Santo Domingo, threatens efforts to eliminate the disease.Mass drug administration (MDA) has been proposed as one strategy to reduce transmission.The success of MDA is contingent upon high levels of acceptance among the target population.To inform the design
Abstract Topological photonic crystals, which offer topologically protected and back-scattering-immune transport channels, have recently gained significant attention for both scientific and practical reasons.Although most current studies focus on dielectric materials with weak dispersions, this study focuses on topological phases in dispersive mate
Abstract The vertebrate globin gene repertoire consists of seven members that differ in terms of structure, function and phyletic distribution.While hemoglobin, myoglobin, Dill Weed cytoglobin, and neuroglobin are present in almost all gnathostomes examined so far, other globin genes, like globin X, are much more restricted in their phyletic distri
