Red tides and marine mammal mortalities
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to demonstrate that fish and seagrass can accumulate high concentrations of brevetoxins and that these have acted as toxin vectors during deaths of dolphin and manatees. The presence of brevetoxin in the fluids and tissues of 63 of these animals is tested, which revealed very high concentrations in the tissues of all of them confirming that the animals must have been exposed to brevetoxin.

The entomological inoculation rate and Plasmodium falciparum infection in African children
Article Abstract:
Population growth and failure to prevent infection or manage disease in the reduced extent means that Plasmodium falciparum remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. A mathematical framework that allows estimating the heterogeneity of infection rates from the relationship between rates of infectious bites and community prevalence is developed.

Spectroscopy of spontaneous spin noise as a probe of spins dynamics and magnetic resonance
Article Abstract:
Stastical fluctations of N paramagnetic spins generate measurable noise of order root of N spins, even in zero magnetic field. This effect is exploited to perform perturbation-free magnetic resonance.
