The increased penetration of Internet connection in Malaysia and high mobile device affordances in Malaysia over the last two decades resulted in significant changes in the media ecosystem and information consumption ...
Prospective childhood risk factors for gang involvement among North American Indigenous adolescents
(SAGE Publications, 2016-10)
The purpose of the study was to examine prospective childhood risk factors for gang involvement across the course of adolescence among a large 8-year longitudinal sample of 646 Indigenous (i.e., American Indian and Canadian ...
High throughput assay for screening host restriction factors and antivirals targeting Influenza A virus
(Frontiers Media, 2016-06-03)
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a human respiratory pathogen that causes seasonal epidemics and occasional global pandemics with devastating levels of morbidity and mortality. Currently approved treatments against influenza are ...
Toward transduodenal diffuse optical tomography of proximal pancreas
(Optica Publishing Group, 2013-10-10)
We demonstrate the feasibility of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) of the proximal pancreas by using optical applicator channels deployed longitudinally along the exterior surface of a duodenoscope. As the duodenum that ...
Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries reveals dynamic regulation of conserved and novel microRNAs and microRNA-stars during silkworm development
(BioMed Central, 2010-01-20)
Background: In eukaryotes, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression. The Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) is one of the most suitable lepidopteran insects for studying the molecular aspects of ...

Reptiles were collected in nine counties in Oklahoma from September 2002 to May 2004 and examined for Ixodes scapularis (Say) larvae and nymphs to determine seasonal incidence and prevalence of these ticks. In total, 209 ...
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles for effective siRNA delivery to tobacco BY-2 protoplasts
(BioMed Central, 2010-12-30)
Background: Post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a mechanism harnessed by plant biologists to knock down gene expression. siRNAs contribute to PTGS that are synthesized from mRNAs or viral RNAs and function to ...
Identification and characterization of plastid-type proteins from sequence-attributed features using machine learning
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-09)
Background: Plastids are an important component of plant cells, being the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds used by the cell, and contain pigments such as those used in photosynthesis, starch ...
