Tailoring the slow light behavior in terahertz metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2015-05-04)
We experimentally study the effect of near field coupling on the transmission of light in terahertz metasurfaces. Our results show that tailoring the coupling between the resonators modulates the amplitude of resulting ...
Congenital Pelger-Huet anomaly in a Danish/Swedish Farmdog: Case report
(BioMed Central, 2011-03-01)
A 13 year old Danish/Swedish Farmdog from Denmark was evaluated in a veterinary clinic in Warsaw, Poland for evaluation of an orthopedic problem. Radiographs revealed spondylosis and degenerative vertebral disease, which ...
Highly sensitive terahertz measurement of layer thickness using a two-cylinder waveguide sensor
(AIP Publishing, 2010-08-17)
We report on the layer thickness determination on dielectrically coated metal cylinders using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. A considerable sensitivity increase of up to a factor of 150 is obtained for layers ...
Genome of Diuraphis noxia, a global aphid pest of small grains
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-05)
Background: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov, is one of the most important pests of small grains throughout the temperate regions of the world. This phytotoxic aphid causes severe systemic damage symptoms ...

Influence of tree spacing on soil nitrogen mineralization and availability in hybrid poplar plantations
(MDPI, 2015-03-04)
Nitrogen (N) availability and mineralization are key parameters and transformation processes that impact plant growth and forest productivity. We hypothesized that suitable plantation spacing can lead to enhanced soil N ...
Time course analysis of the extracellular proteome of Aspergillus nidulans growing on sorghum stover
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-26)
Background: Fungi are important players in the turnover of plant biomass because they produce a broad range of degradative enzymes. Aspergillus nidulans, a well-studied saprophyte and close homologue to industrially important ...
Assessing the effects of variables and background selection on the capture of the tick climate niche
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-26)
Background: Modelling the environmental niche and spatial distribution of pathogen-transmitting arthropods involves various quality and methodological concerns related to using climate data to capture the environmental ...
Novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-09)
Background: Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are ...
Detection of selective sweeps in cattle using genome-wide SNP data
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-07)
Background: The domestication and subsequent selection by humans to create breeds and biological types of cattle undoubtedly altered the patterning of variation within their genomes. Strong selection to fix advantageous ...
