Are we there yet? How to keep organizational momentum going after the excitement of change is over
(Oklahoma State University, 2017-03)
Experimental analysis of reintroduction strategies to conserve the vulnerable plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus in Nebraska
(Inter Research, 2017-11-23)
Plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus are endemic to the Great Plains (USA), and because of declines in their geographic range and local abundance, are granted protection throughout their native range. Experimental reintroductions ...
Primer modification improves rapid and sensitive in vitro and field-deployable assays for detection of High plains virus variants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-01)
A high consequence pathogen, High plains virus (HPV) causes considerable damage to wheat if the crop is infected during early stages of development. Methods for the early, accurate, and sensitive detection of HPV in plant ...
Profile, perceptions and future expectations of medical laboratory scientists in Namibia
(AOSIS, 2015-08-20)
Background: Public healthcare systems in sub-Saharan Africa are challenged by healthcare worker shortages, loss of trained staff and attrition to the private sector. Studies have historically focused on medical doctors, ...
Mediation analysis with survival outcomes: Accelerated failure time vs. proportional hazards models
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-30)
Objective: Survival time is an important type of outcome variable in treatment research. Currently, limited guidance is available regarding performing mediation analyses with survival outcomes, which generally do not have ...
Oral re-vaccination of Eurasian wild boar with Mycobacterium bovis BCG yields a strong protective response against challenge with a field strain
(BioMed Central, 2014-04-26)
Background: Field vaccination trials with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, an attenuated mutant of M. bovis, are ongoing in Spain, where the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) is regarded as the main driver of animal tuberculosis ...
Do nonphysical punishments reduce antisocial behavior more than spanking? A comparison using the strongest previous causal evidence against spanking
(BioMed Central, 2010-02-22)
Background: The strongest causal evidence that customary spanking increases antisocial behavior is based on prospective studies that control statistically for initial antisocial differences. None of those studies have ...
Terahertz two-cylinder waveguide coupler for transverse-magnetic and transverse-electric mode operation
(AIP Publishing, 2011-02-18)
We report the coupling and guiding of broadband terahertz radiation using a two-cylinder waveguide coupler. For the transverse electromagnetic TEM (TM0) geometry, the two opposing metal cylinders exhibit an amplitude ...
Modulation of redox homeostasis under suboptimal conditions by Arabidopsis nudix hydrolase 7
(BioMed Central, 2010-08-12)
Background: Nudix hydrolases play a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by hydrolyzing various nuceloside diphosphate derivatives and capped mRNAs. Several independent studies have demonstrated that Arabidopsis ...
