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 ...
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 ...
Trends in biomedical research in Namibia: 1995-2009
(2012)
Research publications are often used as proxies for the scientific progress and development of a particular country. Country-specific bibliometric studies reflect national strategies to build capacity in tertiary education, ...
Genomic resources for a model in adaptation and speciation research: Characterization of the Poecilia mexicana transcriptome
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-21)
Background: Elucidating the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation is a major challenge in natural systems with large quantities of environmental and phenotypic data, mostly because of the scarcity of genomic resources ...
Radiation testing of electronics for the CMS endcap muon system
(2012-09-18)
The electronics used in the data readout and triggering system for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator at CERN are exposed to high radiation levels. This ...
Search for the standard model Higgs boson in the ZH → vvbb channel in 9.5 fb⁻¹ of pp[over ¯] collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
(2012-08-21)
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in 9.5 fb⁻¹ of pp[over ¯] collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The final state considered contains a pair of ...
Characterization and identification of productivity-associated rhizobacteria in wheat
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-06)
The rhizosphere is populated by a numerous and diverse array of rhizobacteria, and many impact productivity in largely unknown ways. Here we characterize the rhizobacterial community in a wheat variety categorized according ...
Development and evaluation of a quantitative PCR assay targeting sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) fecal pollution
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-06)
While the microbial water quality in the Platte River is seasonally impacted by excreta from migrating cranes, there are no methods available to study crane fecal contamination. Here we characterized microbial populations ...
Fire and vegetation dynamics in the cross timbers forests of south-central North America
(2012)
The vegetation of the Cross Timbers forests was maintained for thousands of years by fire; the historic fire return interval was likely 1 to 10 years. Fire suppression over the past century led to a doubling of stand basal ...
