Implicit solvation using the superposition approximation (IS-SPA): extension to polar solutes in chloroform
(2020-09-29)Efficient, accurate, and adaptable implicit solvent models remain a significant challenge in the field of molecular simulation. A recent implicit solvent model, IS-SPA, based on approximating the mean solvent force using ... -
Importance of the long-chain fatty acid beta-hydroxylating cytochrome P450 enzyme YbdT for lipopeptide biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis strain OKB105
(MDPI, 2011-03-08)Bacillus species produce extracellular, surface-active lipopeptides such as surfactin that have wide applications in industry and medicine. The steps involved in the synthesis of 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) substrates ... -
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 ... -
Improving the psychology undergraduate curriculum in developing countries: A personal note with illustrations from Brazil
(Science Publications, 2006)In this article we suggest various ways in which the undergraduate curriculum for psychology students can be improved in developing countries. Suggestions based on the author's experience in the northeast of Brazil include ... -
In defence of the three-domains of life paradigm
(BioMed Central, 2017-09-19)Background: Recently, important discoveries regarding the archaeon that functioned as the "host" in the merger with a bacterium that led to the eukaryotes, its "complex" nature, and its phylogenetic relationship to eukaryotes, ... -
In silico identification of conserved microRNAs in large number of diverse plant species
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-16)Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered small non-coding RNAs that play pivotal roles in gene expression, specifically at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Identification of miRNAs in ... -
In vitro efficacy of antibiotics commonly used to treat human plague against intracellular Yersinia pestis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-08)Yersinia pestis initiates infection as a facultative intracellular parasite in host macrophages; however, little is known about the efficacy of antibiotics commonly used to treat human plague against intracellular Y. pestis. ... -
In vitro efficacy of new antifolates against trimethoprim-resistant Bacillus anthracis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-12)Bacillus anthracis is innately resistant to trimethoprim (TMP), a synthetic antifolate that selectively inhibits several bacterial dihydrofolate reductases (DHFRs) but not human DHFR. Previously, we were able to confirm ... -
In vivo and in vitro studies on the roles of neutrophil extracellular traps during secondary pneumococcal pneumonia after primary pulmonary influenza infection
(Frontiers Media, 2013-03-05)Seasonal influenza virus infections may lead to debilitating disease, and account for significant fatalities annually worldwide. Most of these deaths are attributed to the complications of secondary bacterial pneumonia. ... -
In vivo assessment of diet-induced rat hepatic steatosis development by percutaneous single-fiber spectroscopy detects scattering spectral changes due to fatty infiltration
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2015-11-05)This study explores percutaneous single-fiber spectroscopy (SfS) of rat livers undergoing fatty infiltration. Eight test rats were fed a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet, and four control rats were fed a normal diet. ... -
In vivo percutaneous reflectance spectroscopy of fatty liver development in rats suggests that the elevation of the scattering power is an early indicator of hepatic steatosis
(World Scientific Publishing, 2018-05-11)This study assessed whether there was a scattering spectral marker quantifiable by reflectance measurements that could indicate early development of hepatic steatosis in rats for potential applications to pre-procurement ... -
In vivo trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled near-infrared optical tomography of intact normal canine prostate
(World Scientific Publishing, 2009-07-01)This is the first tomography-presentation of the optical properties of a normal canine prostate, in vivo, in its native intact environment in the pelvic canal. The imaging was performed by trans-rectal near-infrared (NIR) ... -
In vivo trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled optical tomography of a transmissible venereal tumor model in the canine pelvic canal
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2009-05-01)In vivo trans-rectal near-infrared (NIR) optical tomography was performed concurrently with, albeit reconstructed without spatial a prior of, trans-rectal ultrasound (US) on transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) developed as ... -
Inducing disallowed two-atom transitions with temporally entangled photons
(American Physical Society, 2004-08-25)Two uncoupled two-level atoms cannot be jointly excited by classical light under general circumstances, due to destructive interference of excitation pathways in two-photon absorption. However, with temporally entangled ... -
Infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum in a seronegative patient in Sicily, Italy: Case report
(BioMed Central, 2005-10-03)Background: Anaplasma phagocytophilum causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) in humans, which has been recognized as an emerging tick-borne disease in the United States and Europe. Although about 65 cases of HGA have ... -
Infinitely many virtual geometric triangulations
(2021-02-24)We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ... -
