Metagenomic search strategies for interactions among plants and multiple microbes
(Frontiers Media, 2014-06-11)
Plants harbor multiple microbes. Metagenomics can facilitate understanding of the significance, for the plant, of the microbes, and of the interactions among them. However, current approaches to metagenomic analysis of ...
Mental and substance use disorders from early adolescence to young adulthood among indigenous young people: Final diagnostic results from an 8-year panel study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014)
Objective: Our objective was to investigate change in prevalence rates for mental and substance abuse disorders between early adolescence and young adulthood in a cohort of indigenous adolescents who participated in an ...
Exposure and risk factors to Coxiella burnetii, spotted fever group and typhus group rickettsiae, and Bartonella henselae among volunteer blood donors in Namibia
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-09-26)
Background: The role of pathogen-mediated febrile illness in sub-Saharan Africa is receiving more attention, especially in Southern Africa where four countries (including Namibia) are actively working to eliminate malaria. ...
Beginning design process: Subject to object
(2014-05-01)
Beyond the act of building, the architect is responsible for assembling a collection of inanimate objects - bricks, window units, etc - and with those basic tools create form and space that are expressible to the human ...
ER quality control and ER associated degradation machineries are vital for viral pathogenesis
(Frontiers Media, 2014-03-11)
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is central to protein production and membrane lipid synthesis. The unfolded protein response (UPR) supports cellular metabolism by ensuring protein quality control in the ER. Most positive ...
Contributions of temporal segregation, oviposition choice, and non-additive effects of competitors to invasion success of Aedes japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae) in North America
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-12-17)
The mosquito Aedes japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae) has spread rapidly through North America since its introduction in the 1990s. The mechanisms underlying its establishment in container communities occupied by competitors ...
Scattering theory for Floquet-Bloch states
(2014-10-20)
Motivated by recent experimental implementations of artificial gauge fields for gases of cold atoms, we study the scattering properties of particles that are subjected to time-periodic Hamiltonians. Making use of Floquet ...
Concave-convex local binary features for automatic target recognition in infrared imagery
(SpringerOpen, 2014-04-21)
This paper presents a novel feature extraction algorithm based on the local binary features for automatic target recognition (ATR) in infrared imagery. Since the inception of the local binary pattern (LBP) and local ternary ...
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 ...
