Africanization of a feral honey bee (Apis mellifera) population in South Texas: Does a decade make a difference?
(Wiley Open Access, 2016)
The arrival to the United States of the Africanized honey bee, a hybrid between European subspecies and the African subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata, is a remarkable model for the study of biological invasions. This ...
A low-cost needle-based single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy method to probe scattering changes associated with mineralization in intervertebral discs in chondrodystrophoid canine species - A pilot study
(De Gruyter, 2012-05-01)
Background and objectives: Intervertebral disc herniation is a common disease in chondrodystrophic dogs, and a similar neurologic condition also occurs in humans. Percutaneous laser disc ablation (PLDA) is a minimally ...
Molecular detection of Campylobacter spp. and fecal indicator bacteria during the northern migration of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) at the central Platte River
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-06)
The risk to human health of the annual sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) migration through Nebraska, which is thought to be a major source of fecal pollution of the central Platte River, is unknown. To better understand ...
Asymmetric purine-pyrimidine distribution in cellular small RNA population of papaya
(BioMed Central, 2012-12-05)
Background: The small RNAs (sRNA) are a regulatory class of RNA mainly represented by the 21 and 24-nucleotide size classes. The cellular sRNAs are processed by RNase III family enzyme dicer (Dicer like in plant) from a ...
Mosquito ingestion of antibodies against mosquito midgut microbiota improves conversion of ookinetes to oocysts for Plasmodium falciparum, but not P. yoelii
(Elsevier BV, 2011-07-13)
The mosquito midgut is a site of complex interactions between the mosquito, the malaria parasite and the resident bacterial flora. In laboratory experiments, we observed significant enhancement of Plasmodium falciparum ...
Morphology and foraging behavior of Oklahoma's grass-feeding termite: Gnathamitermes tubiformans (Isoptera: Termitidae)
(Kansas Entomological Society, 2016)
Grass-feeding termites, Gnathamitermes sp., can be considered beneficial in pastureland, where they aerate topsoil, recycle nutrients from grasses and forbs, and excavate and redistribute soil. The primary objective of ...
Ethyl 2-(3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)acetate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2010)
Concave-convex local binary features for automatic target recognition in infrared imagery
(SpringerOpen, 2014-04-21)
This paper presents a novel feature extraction algorithm based on the local binary features for automatic target recognition (ATR) in infrared imagery. Since the inception of the local binary pattern (LBP) and local ternary ...
Rumen microbial population dynamics during adaptation to a high-grain diet
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-11)
High-grain adaptation programs are widely used with feedlot cattle to balance enhanced growth performance against the risk of acidosis. This adaptation to a high-grain diet from a high-forage diet is known to change the ...
Community Empowerment Consultation Model
