qatar has been a notable exception to the wave of popular political mobilization that has struck Arab countries since January 2011. This is particularly so given the prominent role of its state-owned television station Al ...
Collision/reaction cell ICP-MS with shielded torch and sector field ICP-MS for the simultaneous determination of selenium isotopes in biological matrices
(
Humana Press Inc
, 2011 , Article)
The determinations of selenium isotopes in biological samples were performed using both inductively coupled plasma collision/reaction cell quadruple mass spectrometer (CRC-ICP-QMS) and inductively coupled plasma sector ...
A TaqMan real-time PCR-based assay for the identification of Fasciola spp.
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is one of the key technologies of the post-genome era, with clear advantages compared to normal end-point PCR. In this paper, we report the first qPCR-based assay for the identification ...
Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Abstract
The traditional Random Digit Dialing method (list-assisted RDD using a frame of landline phone numbers) is clearly under threat. The difficulty and costs of completing telephone surveys have increased due to ...
A household-level decomposition of the white–black homeownership gap
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper uses a semiparametric homeownership model to estimate and to decompose the household-level
white–black homeownership gap into an endowment component and a residual component across the
distribution of homeownership ...

(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Parasites threaten human and animal health globally. It is estimated that more than 60% of people on planet Earth carry at least one parasite, many of them several different species. Unfortunately, parasite studies suffer ...
Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ...
