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 ... -
Predicting maternal auxin-signaling networks for seed dormancy regulation in Arabidopsis
(2021-06-21)Auxin, like ABA, promotes seed dormancy, but how auxin promotes seed dormancy is not well understood. In studying seed dormancy regulation, we found that AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX PROTEIN 1 (AFB1) and 5 maternally promoted ... -
Predicting the onset of alcohol use and the development of alcohol use disorder among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2016-05)Empirical efforts to identify the predictors of drinking behavior among North American Indigenous adolescents are relatively limited. Using longitudinal data, this study considers perceived discrimination, positive drinker ... -
Preliminary investigation on the cost reduction potential of optimizing bore fields for commercial ground source heat pump systems
(Stanford Geothermal Program, 2020-02-10)The high initial cost of ground heat exchangers (GHE) is a primary hurdle preventing wider adoption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. GHEs used for commercial GSHP systems commonly consist of vertical boreholes ... -
Preliminary study of illumination levels in university and elementary classrooms in Campina Grande, Brazil
(Science Publications, 2007)The purpose of our study was to provide preliminary data on light levels used in university and elementary school classrooms in Campina Grande, Brazil with the aim of providing Brazilian politicians and educators with data ... -
Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of B-carbonic anhydrase psCA3 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(International Union of Crystallography, 2013)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in susceptible individuals and is resistant to most clinically available antimicrobials. Genomic and proteomic studies have ... -
Presence of a substrate strengthens the jet generated by upside-down jellyfish
(Frontiers, 2022-05-12)Upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea, are prevalent in warm and shallow parts of the oceans throughout the world. They are unique among jellyfish in that they rest upside down against the substrate and extend their oral arms ... -
