TL;DR: Unlike the reviewed studies, which were mostly launched as a rapid response to outbreak situations, future research will have to invest more strongly into theoretical work to provide sounder evidence.
Abstract: The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003 and the subsequent emergence of the H5N1 virus have highlighted the threat of a global pandemic influenza outbreak. Planning effective public health control measures for such a case will be highly dependent on sound theory-based research on how people perceive the risks involved in such an event. The present article aims to review theoretical models and concepts underlying current empirical research on pandemic influenza risk perception. A review was conducted based on 28 empirical studies from 30 articles which were published between 2003 and 2007. Concepts of risk perception mostly seemed more pragmatic than theory-based and were highly heterogeneous, for instance, in terms of conceptualizing risk perception as an exclusively cognitive or as a cognitive and emotional phenomenon or whether the concept was dominated by expectancy or expectancy and value components. Similarly, the majority of studies investigating risk perceptions and protective behaviors were not model-based. The current body of knowledge can only provide preliminary insights. Unlike the reviewed studies, which were mostly launched as a rapid response to outbreak situations, future research will have to invest more strongly into theoretical work to provide sounder evidence.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework based on non-relativistic operators and a self-contained set of numerical tools is presented to derive the bounds from some current direct detection experiments on virtually any arbitrary model of Dark Matter elastically scattering on nuclei.

TL;DR: The gene product of Cfr from Staphylococcus sciuri confers resistance to chloramphenicol, florfenicol and clindamycin in Staphylon spp. and Escherichia coli as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Summary
The gene product of cfr from Staphylococcus sciuri confers resistance to chloramphenicol, florfenicol and clindamycin in Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli. Cfr is not similar to any other known chloramphenicol resistance determinant. Comparative investigation of E. coli with and without a plasmid-encoded Cfr showed a decreased drug binding to ribosomes in the presence of Cfr. As chloramphenicol/florfenicol and clindamycin have partly overlapping drug binding sites on the ribosome, the most likely explanation is that Cfr modifies the RNA in the drug binding site. This hypothesis was supported by drug footprinting data that showed both a decreased drug binding and an enhanced reverse transcriptase stop at position 2504, which corresponds to a modification at position A2503 at the drug binding site. A 45 n long RNA fragment containing the appropriate region was isolated and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in combination with tandem mass spectrometry showed an additional methylation at position A2503. Moreover, reduced methylation was detected at nucleotide C2498. The results show that Cfr is an RNA methyltransferase that targets nucleotide A2503 and inhibits ribose methylation at nucleotide C2498, thereby causing resistance to chloramphenicol, florfenicol and clindamycin.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global fit to all Higgs data is presented, which synthesises them into a universal form, which allows to easily test any desired Higgs model and is well approximated by the universal fit regions.
Abstract: We perform a state-of-the-art global fit to all Higgs data. We synthesise them into a ‘universal’ form, which allows to easily test any desired model. We apply the proposed methodology to extract from data the Higgs branching ratios, production cross sections, couplings and to analyse composite Higgs models, models with extra Higgs doublets, supersymmetry, extra particles in the loops, anomalous top couplings, and invisible Higgs decays into Dark Matter. Best fit regions lie around the Standard Model predictions and are well approximated by our ‘universal’ fit. Latest data exclude the dilaton as an alternative to the Higgs, and disfavour fits with negative Yukawa couplings. We derive for the first time the SM Higgs boson mass from the measured rates, rather than from the peak positions, obtaining M

TL;DR: In this article, a single molecular monolayer of bistable rotaxanes sandwiched between two 40-nm metal electrodes was fabricated using imprint lithography, and it was observed that it has high on-off ratios and reversible switching properties.
Abstract: Nanoscale molecular-electronic devices comprising a single molecular monolayer of bistable [2]rotaxanes sandwiched between two 40-nm metal electrodes were fabricated using imprint lithography. Bistable current–voltage characteristics with high on–off ratios and reversible switching properties were observed. Such devices may function as basic elements for future ultradense electronic circuitry.
