Characterization of recombinant B. abortus strain RB51SOD toward understanding the uncorrelated innate and adaptive immune responses induced by RB51SOD compared to its parent vaccine strain RB51
(Frontiers Media, 2011-11-25)
Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen for several mammals, including humans. Live attenuated B. abortus strain RB51 is currently the official vaccine used against bovine brucellosis in the ...
Genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-08)
Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota) and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. The genome of an anaerobic fungal isolate, ...
Host distribution does not limit the range of the tick Ixodes ricinus but impacts the circulation of transmitted pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2017-10-11)
Ticks, pathogens, and vertebrates interact in a background of environmental features that regulate the densities of ticks and vertebrates, affecting their contact rates and thence the circulation of the pathogens. Regional ...
Hydrogen sulfide, bacteria, and fish: a unique, subterranean food chain
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)
Photoautotrophs are generally considered to be the base of food webs, and habitats that lack light, such as caves, frequently rely on surface-derived carbon. Here we show, based on analysis of gut contents and stable isotope ...
Transrectal ultrasound-integrated spectral optical tomography of hypoxic progression of a regressing tumor in a canine prostate
(SAGE Publications, 2011-12-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate if transrectal optical tomography implemented at three wavelength bands for spectral detection could monitor changes of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SₜO₂) in addition to ...
Cadence (steps/min) and intensity during ambulation in 6-20 year olds: The CADENCE-kids study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-02-26)
Background: Steps/day is widely utilized to estimate the total volume of ambulatory activity, but it does not directly reflect intensity, a central tenet of public health guidelines. Cadence (steps/min) represents an ...
Effects of simulated heat waves on cardiovascular functions in senile mice
(MDPI, 2014-08-06)
The mechanism of the effects of simulated heat waves on cardiovascular disease in senile mice was investigated. Heat waves were simulated in a TEM1880 meteorological environment simulation chamber, according to a heat wave ...
Determining a reasonable range of relative numerical tolerance values for simulating deterministic models of biochemical reactions
(2018-01-29)
What values of relative numerical tolerance should be chosen in simulation of a deterministic model of a biochemical reaction is unclear, which impairs the modeling effort since the simulation outcomes of a model may depend ...
Freshman framework: Collaboratively developing a set of required instructional modules for freshman research scholars
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2017)
Self-reported arrests among Indigenous adolescents: A longitudinal analysis of community, family, and individual risk factors
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016)
Purpose: North American indigenous (American Indian/Canadian First Nations) adolescents are overrepresented in the juvenile justice systems in the USA and Canada. One explanation advanced for disproportionate numbers of ...
