Development and Formative Assessment of a Type 2 Diabetes Social Marketing Infographic
(2016-05-01)
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has increased rapidly within the last few years. The development of T2DM can lead to many health complications including microvascular and macrovascular diseases. Management of T2DM ...
Chlamydia Trachomatis and Host Cell Egress
(2016-12-01)
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Even after a C. trachomatis infection is treated, there is an increased risk for the development of pelvic inflammatory ...
RNA-seq assisted gene modeling and annotation, transcriptome study and functional analysis of stress responsive peptides of Manduca sexta
(2016-12)
Manduca sexta is a widely used model insect. The genome sequence was determined using 454 sequencing technology, and Official Gene Set (OGS) 2.0 was generated with help from RNA-seq data and manually annotation by researchers ...
Evaluation of Drum Cavity Size and Planter Tip on Singulation and Plant Emergence in Maize (Zea Mays L.)
(2016-05-01)
Average maize grain yields in developing countries are 1.8 Mg ha-1 compared to 9.9 Mg ha-1 in the USA, with much of this due to planter technology. Thirty million hectares in the world are planted by hand, where 2 to 3 ...
Influence of Tillage and Side-dress Nitrogen on Maize (Zea mays L.) Plant Stand and Grain Yield Using the Osu Hand Planter with Altered Drum Cavity Sizes
(2016-12-01)
Average production for maize (Zea mays L) in the United States is 9.9 Mg ha-1 compared to averages of 1.8 Mg ha-1 in the developing world. Many factors account for these low yields, specifically highly advanced agricultural ...
Analysis of Demographic and Clinical Data of Patients to Determine the Effective Markers of Bipolar Disorder
(2016-07-01)
Bipolar disorder is also known as manic depression. Patients with this disease exhibit symptoms of depression and mania or hypomania in a cyclical manner. While depression symptoms are relatively easy to detect, manic and ...
Future time perspective in five life domains
(2016-07)
Future time perspective is a key construct in many fields of study, but operational definitions and measurement instruments differ considerably. This has led to inconsistent findings in the literature. In the present ...
Cone Calorimeter Analysis of Flame Retardant Poly (Methyl Methacrylate)-silica Nanocomposites
(2016-12-01)
Flame retardant additives, such as phosphorus-based fillers, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates, and nanocomposites, have been considered as the most common methods to reduce fire hazards of polymers. Specifically, polymer ...
Identification of putative surface adhesins by comparison of surface-adherence variants of Listeria monocytogenes using LC-MS/MS and RT-qPCR
(2016-07)
Listeria monocytogenes is a serious foodborne human pathogen that is known for biofilm formation, but the association of Listeria adherence in food environments and the resulting contamination of RTE products is not well ...
Effect of preplant/early irrigation, nitrogen and seeding rate on winter wheat grain yield
(2016-12)
Preplant or early irrigation in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can improve plant stands and lead to higher grain yields. Optimum seeding density more efficiently utilizes resources and optimizes yield. In lieu of ...
