Genomic data for 78 chickens from 14 populations
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06)
Background: Since the domestication of the red jungle fowls (Gallus gallus; dating back to~10 000 B.P.) in Asia, domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) have been subjected to the combined effects of natural selection ...
Improved annotation of the insect vector of citrus greening disease: Biocuration by a diverse genomics community
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
The Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) is the insect vector of the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the pathogen associated with citrus Huanglongbing (HLB, citrus greening). HLB threatens ...
On knot complements that decompose into regular ideal dodecahedra
(2012-09-05)
Aitchison and Rubinstein constructed two knot complements that can be decomposed into two regular ideal dodecahedra. This paper shows that these knot complements are the only knot complements that decompose into n regular ...
Transcriptomic analysis of lignocellulosic biomass degradation by the anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-08)
Background: Anaerobic fungi reside in the rumen and alimentary tract of herbivores where they play an important role in the digestion of ingested plant biomass. The anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A is ...
Novel high-rank phylogenetic lineages within a sulfur spring (Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma), revealed using a combined pyrosequencing-Sanger approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-04-15)
The utilization of high-throughput sequencing technologies in 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys has indicated that within most ecosystems, a significant fraction of the community could not be assigned to known microbial ...
Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire-grazing interaction
(Wiley Open Access, 2011-08-12)
The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire-dependent landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire-grazing interaction, but the preference for recently ...
Flare coupled metal parallel-plate waveguides for high resolution terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
(AIP Publishing, 2010-12-03)
We report on a new coupling scheme for high resolution terahertz spectroscopy of microcrystalline films using parallel-plate waveguides. Metal flares are used to couple the terahertz radiation into and out of the waveguide. ...
Seasonal variability of evapotranspiration and carbon exchanges over a biomass sorghum field in the Southern U.S. Great Plains
(Elsevier BV, 2017)
The eddy covariance method was used to investigate carbon fluxes and evapotranspiration (ET) from a high biomass forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) field in the Southern U.S. Great Plains for three growing seasons ...
Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)
Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...
Diagnostic performance and diagrammatic manipulation in the physician’s folding almanacs
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-01)
Bodleian MS Ashmole 6 is one of around 30 known physician’s folding almanacs - small manuscripts of medical reference material in Latin, all (save one) made in England around the fifteenth century. The folding almanacs are ...
