Self-reported arrests among Indigenous adolescents: A longitudinal analysis of community, family, and individual risk factors
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016)Purpose: North American indigenous (American Indian/Canadian First Nations) adolescents are overrepresented in the juvenile justice systems in the USA and Canada. One explanation advanced for disproportionate numbers of ... -
Semiautomatic algorithm to map tectonic faults and measure scarp height from topography applied to the Volcanic Tablelands and the Hurricane fault, western US
(GeoScienceWorld, 2022-02-23)Observations of fault geometry and cumulative slip distribution serve as critical constraints on fault behavior over temporal scales ranging from a single earthquake to a fault's complete history. The increasing availability ... -
Sensitivity of monkey B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) to antiviral drugs: Role of thymidine kinase in antiviral activities of substrate analogs and acyclonucleosides
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-06)Herpes B virus (B virus [BV]) is a macaque herpesvirus that is occasionally transmitted to humans where it can cause rapidly ascending encephalitis that is often fatal. To understand the low susceptibility of BV to the ... -
Sequence analysis of the msp4 gene of Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-03)The causative agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis was recently reclassified as Anaplasma phagocytophilum, unifying previously described bacteria that cause disease in humans, horses, dogs, and ruminants. For the ... -
Sequence comparisons of plasmids pBJS-O of Spiroplasma citri and pSKU146 of S. kunkelii: Implications for plasmid evolution
(BioMed Central, 2005-12-07)Background: Spiroplasma citri BR3-3X and S. kunkelii CR2-3X cause serious diseases worldwide on citrus and maize species, respectively. S. citri BR3-3X harbors a plasmid, pBJS-Original (pBJS-O), that encodes the s piroplasma ... -
Serodetection of Ehrlichia canis amongst dogs in central Namibia
(AOSIS, 2015-06-01)Ehrlichia canis is a major pathogen in dogs throughout Africa, yet it has not been reported in Namibia. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of canine ehrlichiosis in central Namibia using the ImmunoComb ... -
Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among pregnant women in Windhoek, Namibia, in 2016
(AOSIS, 2020-05-13)Background: When a pregnant woman contracts Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection during pregnancy, it may be vertically transmitted to the foetus. Information on the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) in developing ... -
Sex specific expression and distribution of small RNAs in papaya
(BioMed Central, 2014-01-13)Background: Regulatory function of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) in response to environmental and developmental cues has been established. Additionally, sRNA, also plays an important role in maintaining the heterochromatin ... -
Shiga toxin 2 overexpression in Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains associated with severe human disease
(Elsevier, 2011-12)Variation in disease severity among Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections may result from differential expression of Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2). Eleven strains belonging to four prominent phylogenetic clades, including clade 8 ... -
Siegebreaker: an SDN based practical decoy routing system
(Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium Advisory Board, 2020-07-13)Decoy Routing (DR), a promising approach to censorship circumvention, uses routers (rather than end hosts) as proxy servers. Users of censored networks, who wish to use DR, send specially crafted packets, nominally addressed ... -
Sigma factor n, liaison to an ntrC and rpoS dependent regulatory pathway controlling acid resistance and the LEE in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012)Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is dependent on acid resistance for gastric passage and low oral infectious dose, and the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) for intestinal colonization. Mutation of rpoN, encoding ... -
Silencing of genes involved in Anaplasma marginale-tick interactions affects the pathogen developmental cycle in Dermacentor variabilis
(BioMed Central, 2009-07-16)Background: The cattle pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, undergoes a developmental cycle in ticks that begins in gut cells. Transmission to cattle occurs from salivary glands during a second tick feeding. At each site of ... -
Similarity between copper resistance genes from Xanthomonas campestris and Pseudomonas syringae
(American Society for Microbiology, 1993-05)Plasmid-borne copper resistance genes from copper-resistant strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria from California, Florida, and Oklahoma shared structural similarities. A strain of X. campestris pv. campestris ... -
Simple visual assay for determination of Pasteurella haemolytica cytotoxin neutralizing antibody titers in cattle sera
(American Society for Microbiology, 1985-12)A simple visual assay is described for determining the capacity of bovine serum to neutralize the cytotoxin produced by Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1. The test was reproducible from day to day with different target ... -
Simulation of carbon dioxide mineralization and its effect on fault leakage rates in the South Georgia rift basin, southeastern U.S.
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Over the past few decades, measured levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have substantially increased. One of the ways to limit the adverse impacts of increased carbon dioxide concentrations is to capture and store it ... -
Simultaneous optical pulse compression and wing reduction
