"A comparative analysis of risk factors of malaria" case study Gisagara and Bugesera District of Rwanda. RDHS 2014/2015. A retrospective study.

Background: Malaria is a public health concern worldwide. A figure of 3.2 billion people is at risk of malaria a report of World Health Organization in 2013.

Evaluation of a rapid biosensor tool for measuring PAH availability in petroleum-impacted sediment.

Decades of research have shown that the concentration of freely dissolved PAH (C in sediment correlates with PAH bioavailability and toxicity to aquatic organisms. Passive sampling techniques and models have been used for measuring and predicting C respectively, but these techniques require weeks for analytical chemical measurements and data evaluation. This study evaluated the performance of a portable, field-deployable antibody-based PAH biosensor method that can provide measurements of PAH C within a matter of minutes using a small volume of mechanically-extracted sediment porewater.
