Dynamics Management of Intermediate Water Storage in an Air-Breathing Single-Cell Membrane Electrode Assembly by Avinash Kumar, Alex Schechter, Idit Avrahami

“…In air-breathing proton exchange membrane fuel cells (Air PEM FCs), a high rate of water evaporation from the cathode might influence the resistance of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which is highly dependent on the water content of the Nafion membrane. We propose a dead-end hydrogen anode as a means of intermediate storage of water/humidity for self-humidification of the membrane. …”

Multi-season transmission model of Eastern Equine Encephalitis. by Alexa Petrucciani, Geonsik Yu, Mario Ventresca

“…Additionally, a 5% difference in the bridge vector's bird feeding preference can increase cumulative dead-end host infections more than 20-fold. Taken together, this suggests changes in many parts of the transmission cycle can augment cases in birds, but the bridge vectors feeding preference acts as a valve limiting the enzootic circulation from its impact on dead-end hosts, such as humans. …”

Biodiversity can help prevent malaria outbreaks in tropical forests. by Gabriel Zorello Laporta, Paulo Inácio Knegt Lopez de Prado, Roberto André Kraenkel, Renato Mendes Coutinho, Maria Anice Mureb Sallum

“…The first mechanism is the dilution effect caused by presence of wild warm-blooded animals, which can act as dead-end hosts to Plasmodium parasites. The second is diffuse mosquito vector competition, in which vector and non-vector mosquito species compete for blood feeding upon a defensive host. …”
