Plasmodium falciparum: Release of circumsporozoite protein by sporozoites in the mosquito vector
(Elsevier BV, 1992)The release of circumsporozoite (CS) protein by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites was investigated to identify factors regulating this process within infected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. The potential for sporozoites to ... -
Plasmodium falciparum: The population structure of mature gametocyte cultures has little effect on their innate fertility
(Elsevier BV, 1994)In vitro cultured Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes were fed to Anopheles gambiae (G3) mosquitoes to identify parasite population characteristics useful for predicting successful mosquito infections. Parameters were collected ... -
Plastic ribbon THz waveguides
(AIP Publishing, 2000-10-01)We report an experimental and theoretical study of single mode, guided wave propagation in plastic ribbons. Using cylindrical THz optics, we obtain excellent quasioptic coupling between freely propagating THz waves and a ... -
Podcasting with a purpose: From library collections to university connections
(Oklahoma State University, 2017-06-25) -
Poincare homology sphere, lens space surgeries, and some knots with tunnel number two
(2015-04-25)We exhibit an infinite family of knots in the Poincare homology sphere with tunnel number 2 that have a lens space surgery. Notably, these knots are not doubly primitive and provide counterexamples to a few conjectures. ... -
Point source terahertz optics
(AIP Publishing, 1988-10-17)We demonstrate an ultrafast 10 micro-m sized, electric dipole source of terahertz radiation closely coupled to a 1 cm spherical mirror. This optical approach has the advantages of subpicosecond response times with essentially ... -
Polariton and free-exciton-like photoluminescence in ZnO
(AIP Publishing, 2001-12-03)An unusual photoluminescence line X has been observed in ZnO at an energy between that of the common donor-bound excitons (DBEs) and the free excitons (FEs). In the presence of a high carrier concentration, induced by a ... -
Population dynamics in Floquet realisation of Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian
(2015-04-21)We study the recent Floquet-realisation of the Harper-Hofstadter model in a gas of cold bosonic atoms. We study in detail the scattering processes in this system in the weakly interacting regime due to the interplay of ... -
Population dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum sporogony in laboratory-infected Anopheles gambiae
(American Society of Parasitologists, 1992)The population dynamics of cultured Plasmodium falciparum parasites was examined during their sporogonic development in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. Estimates of absolute densities were determined for each life stage, and ... -
Population growth and development of Liposcelis obscura (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae) at constant temperatures and relative humidities
(Elsevier, 2021)The effects of nine temperatures (22.5, 25.0, 27.5, 30.0, 32.5, 35.0, 37.5, 40.0, and 42.5 degrees C) and four relative humidities (RHs; 43, 55, 63, and 75%) on the population growth and development of the parthenogenetic ... -
Population- and genome-specific patterns of linkage disequilibrium and SNP variation in spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(BioMed Central, 2010-12-29)Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are ideally suited for the construction of high-resolution genetic maps, studying population evolutionary history and performing genome-wide association mapping experiments. ... -
Portable near-infrared diffusive light imager for breast cancer detection
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2004-02-03)We present a frequency-domain near-infrared optical tomography system designed for breast cancer detection, in conjunction, with conventional ultrasound. It features fast optical switching, threewavelength excitations, and ... -
Potential for transduction of plasmids in a natural freshwater environment: Effect of plasmid donor concentration and a natural microbial community on transduction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(American Society for Microbiology, 1987-05)Transduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmid Rmsl49 by the generalized transducing bacteriophage phi-DS1 was shown to occur during a 9-day incubation of environmental test chambers in a freshwater reservoir. Plasmid DNA ... -
Potential use of spectral reflectance indices as a selection tool for grain yield in winter wheat under Great Plains conditions
(Crop Science Society of America, 2007-07-30)Selection criteria that would facilitate increased genetic gain for grain yield would be considered advantageous in plant breeding programs. We evaluated the potential of spectral reflectance indices (SRI) for assessing ... -
Power-enhanced multiple decision functions controlling family-wise error and false discovery rates
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2011-02)Improved procedures, in terms of smaller missed discovery rates (MDR), for performing multiple hypotheses testing with weak and strong control of the family-wise error rate (FWER) or the false discovery rate (FDR) are ... -
PPE surface proteins are required for heme utilization by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-03-08)Iron is essential for replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but iron is efficiently sequestered in the human host during infection. Heme constitutes the largest iron reservoir in the human body and is utilized by many ... -
Precisely mapping a major gene conferring resistance to Hessian fly in bread wheat using genotyping-by-sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-15)Background: One of the reasons hard red winter wheat cultivar 'Duster' (PI 644016) is widely grown in the southern Great Plains is that it confers a consistently high level of resistance to biotype GP of Hessian fly (Hf). ... -
Predator-induced changes of female mating preferences: Innate and experiential effects
(BioMed Central, 2011-07-04)Background: In many species males face a higher predation risk than females because males display elaborate traits that evolved under sexual selection, which may attract not only females but also predators. Females are, ... -
Predicting genome-scale Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas syringae interactome using domain and interolog-based approaches
(BioMed Central, 2014-10-21)Background: Every year pathogenic organisms cause billions of dollars' worth damage to crops and livestock. In agriculture, study of plant-microbe interactions is demanding a special attention to develop management strategies ... -
Predicting key malaria transmission factors, biting and entomological inoculation rates, using modelled soil moisture in Kenya
(Wiley, 1998-10)While malaria transmission varies seasonally, large inter-annual heterogeneity of malaria incidence occurs. Variability in entomological parameters, biting rates and entomological inoculation rates (EIR) have been strongly ...
