ERK1 and ERK2 present functional redundancy in tetrapods despite higher evolution rate of ERK1
(BioMed Central, 2015-09-03)
Background: The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is involved in essential cell processes and it is abnormally activated in ~30 % of cancers and cognitive disorders. Two ERK isoforms have been described, ERK1 and ERK2; ...
Blocking effects and non-clause bound reflexives in Mandarin and American English
(John Benjamins Publishing, 2015-09-21)
A sub-set of languages with non-clause bound (NCB) reflexives exhibits Blocking effects. In these languages, a NCB reflexive is "blocked" from corefering with a higher subject when a lower subject does not agree with a ...
Gene transfers shaped the evolution of de novo NAD+ biosynthesis in eukaryotes
(Oxford University Press, 2014-08-27)
NAD+ is an essential molecule for life, present in each living cell. It can function as an electron carrier or cofactor in redox biochemistry and energetics, and serves as substrate to generate the secondary messenger ...
Proboscis conditioning experiments with honeybees, Apis mellifera caucasica, with butyric acid and DEET mixture as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
Three experiments are described investigating whether olfactory repellents DEET and butyric acid can support the classical conditioning of proboscis extension in the honeybee, Apis mellifera caucasica (Hymenoptera: Apidae). ...
Tips from the trenches: To 3D print or not to 3D print?

Inverted hysteresis and negative remanence in a homogeneous antiferromagnet
(2018-02-13)
Magnetic remanence -- found in bar magnets or magnetic storage devices -- is probably the oldest and most ubiquitous phenomenon underpinning technological applications of magnetism. It is a macroscopic non-equilibrium ...
Characterizing steam penetration through thermal protective fabric materials
(MDPI, 2015-01-01)
This study performs an analysis of steam penetration through thermal protective fabric materials. Different, multilayered thermal protective fabrics were selected and tested in a laboratory-simulated steam exposure, and ...
Viscoelastic properties of tablets from Osborne fractions, pentosans, flour and bread evaluated by creep tests
(De Gruyter Open, 2017)
Little attention has been given to the influence of non-gluten components on the viscoelastic properties of wheat flour dough, bread making process and their products. The aim of this study was to evaluate by creep tests ...
Fuzzy case-based reasoning system
(MDPI, 2016-06-29)
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy case-based reasoning system, using a case-based reasoning (CBR) system that learns from experience to solve problems. Different from a traditional case-based reasoning system that uses ...
Creating a campus-wide research data services committee: The good, the bad, and the... - Part 1: Building bridges and planting seeds
(Association of Information Science and Technology, 2016)
A panel of presenters in this two-part webinar series shared their experiences about how academic libraries are taking the lead in developing cross-campus collaborations in establishing research data committees to spearhead ...
