Identification of Campylobacter jejuni genes involved in the response to acidic pH and stomach transit
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-03)
Campylobacter jejuni causes food- and waterborne gastroenteritis, and as such it must survive passage through the stomach in order to reach the gastrointestinal tract. While little is known about how C. jejuni survives ...
Double bubbles in S^3 and H^3
(2008-11-20)
We prove the double bubble conjecture in the three-sphere S3 and hyperbolic three-space H3 in the cases where we can apply Hutchings theory: 1) in S3, each enclosed volume and the complement occupy at least 10% of the ...
Transcriptomic changes induced by acute ozone in resistant and sensitive Medicago truncatula accessions
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-23)
Background: Tropospheric ozone, the most abundant air pollutant is detrimental to plant and animal health including humans. In sensitive plant species even a few hours of exposure to this potent oxidant (200-300 nL. L-1) ...
Quantum optical spring
(American Physical Society, 2008-07-22)
We study the dynamics of the quantum optical spring, i.e., a spring whose spring constant undergoes discrete jumps depending on the quantum state of another system. We show the existence of revivals and fractional revivals ...
Identification of novel and candidate miRNAs in rice by high throughput sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2008-02-29)
Background: Small RNA-guided gene silencing at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels has emerged as an important mode of gene regulation in plants and animals. Thus far, conventional sequencing of small RNA ...
Novel and nodulation-regulated microRNAs in soybean roots
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-10)
Background: Small RNAs regulate a number of developmental processes in plants and animals. However, the role of small RNAs in legume-rhizobial symbiosis is largely unexplored. Symbiosis between legumes (e.g. soybean) and ...
Quantum interferences in cooperative Dicke emission from spatial variation of the laser phase
(American Physical Society, 2008-10-06)
We report generation of a new quantum interference effect in spontaneous emission from a resonantly driven system of two identical two-level atoms due to the spatial variation of the laser phase at the positions of the ...
Identification of Campylobacter jejuni genes contributing to acid adaptation by transcriptional profiling and genome-wide mutagenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-03)
In order to cause disease, the food- and waterborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni must face the extreme acidity of the host stomach as well as cope with pH fluctuations in the intestine. In the present study, C. jejuni ...
Study of the alignment of student assignments to the academic standards in the state of Nevada. (Senate Bill 184, Chapter 420, Statutes of Nevada 2007)
(The Standards Company LLC, 2008-12-19)
As part of a 100-school, statewide curriculum analysis project contracted by the Legislative Counsel
Bureau, this report is a statistical study of student assignments collected from Nevada public school
teachers. Funding ...
Expression of recombinant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus Bm86 orthologs as secreted proteins in Pichia pastoris
(BioMed Central, 2008-02-14)
Background: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) spp. ticks economically impact on cattle production in Africa and other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally ...
