Building a model: Developing genomic resources for common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) with low coverage genome sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2011-05-04)
Background: Milkweeds (Asclepias L.) have been extensively investigated in diverse areas of evolutionary biology and ecology; however, there are few genetic resources available to facilitate and compliment these studies. ...
Evidence for WZ and ZZ production in final states with b-tagged jets
(2011-11-15)
We present evidence for the combined production of VZ (V = W or Z) events in final states containing charged leptons (electrons or muons) or neutrinos, and heavy flavor jets, using data collected by the D0 detector at the ...
Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire-grazing interaction
(Wiley Open Access, 2011-08-12)
The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire-dependent landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire-grazing interaction, but the preference for recently ...
Observing metamaterial induced transparency in individual Fano resonators with broken symmetry
(AIP Publishing, 2011-11-15)
Metamaterial induced transparency is demonstrated using individual split ring resonators with two gaps on opposite side. For the symmetric structure, only a low quality dipolar resonance is witnessed at a normal incidence ...
Ecosystem services provided by playas in the High Plains: Potential influences of USDA conservation programs
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)
Playas are shallow depressional wetlands and the dominant wetland type in the non-glaciated High Plains of the United States. This region is one of the most intensively cultivated regions in the Western Hemisphere, and ...
The utility of direct-current as compared to frequency domain measurements in spectrally-constrained diffuse optical tomography toward cancer imaging
(SAGE Publications, 2011-10-01)
This work investigates, by means of analytical and simulation studies, the performance of spectrally-constrained image reconstruction in Continuous-Wave or Direct-Current (DC) and Frequency Domain (FD) near-infrared optical ...
Addition of fructooligosaccharides and dried plum to soy-based diets reverses bone loss in the ovariectomized rat
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011-02-20)
Dietary bioactive components that play a role in improving skeletal health have received considerable attention in complementary and alternative medicine practices as a result of their increased efficacy to combat chronic ...
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 ...
Age-specific mortality patterns in Central Mozambique during and after the end of the Civil War
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-05-26)
Background: In recent years, vigorous debate has developed concerning how conflicts contribute to the spread of infectious diseases, and in particular, the role of post-conflict situations in the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS. ...
Development and characterization of a novel C-terminal inhibitor of Hsp90 in androgen dependent and independent prostate cancer cells
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-31)
Background: The molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) has been shown to be overexpressed in a number of cancers, including prostate cancer, making it an important target for drug discovery. Unfortunately, ...
