The best keying protocol for sensor networks
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
Many sensor networks, especially mobile networks or those networks that are deployed to monitor crisis situations, are deployed in an arbitrary and unplanned fashion. Thus, any sensor in such a network may end up being ...
Rattusin, an intestinal a-defensin-related peptide in rats with a unique cysteine spacing pattern and salt-insensitive antibacterial activities
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-04)
Cationic antimicrobial peptides are essential components of the innate immune system. As a major family of mammalian antimicrobial peptides, defensins are expressed mainly by mucosal epithelial cells and promyelocytes. ...
In vivo and in vitro studies on the roles of neutrophil extracellular traps during secondary pneumococcal pneumonia after primary pulmonary influenza infection
(Frontiers Media, 2013-03-05)
Seasonal influenza virus infections may lead to debilitating disease, and account for significant fatalities annually worldwide. Most of these deaths are attributed to the complications of secondary bacterial pneumonia. ...
Correlates of bullying behaviors among a sample of North American Indigenous adolescents
(Elsevier BV, 2013)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between familial, educational, and psychosocial factors and bullying among 702 North American Indigenous adolescents aged 11-14 years. The study used multinomial ...
Approximation of conformal mapping via the Szegő kernel method
(2013-07-20)
We study the uniform approximation of the canonical conformal mapping, for a Jordan domain onto the unit disk, by polynomials generated from the partial sums of the Szegő kernel expansion. These polynomials converge to the ...
Optimized cross-layer forward error correction coding for H.264 AVC video transmission over wireless channels
(SpringerOpen, 2013-08-13)
Forward error correction (FEC) codes that can provide unequal error protection (UEP) have been used recently for video transmission over wireless channels. These video transmission schemes may also benefit from the use of ...
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 ...
Effects of biomass feedstocks and gasification conditions on the physiochemical properties of char
(MDPI, 2013-08-06)
Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon and carbon-based catalysts. Considering these high-value ...
Genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-08)
Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota) and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. The genome of an anaerobic fungal isolate, ...
The role for CYCLIN A1;2/TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS in differentiated cells in Arabidopsis
(2013-07-20)
The Arabidopsis A1-type cyclin, CYCA1;2, also named TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS (TAM), is known for its positive role in meiotic cell cycle progression, but its function in other cells has not been characterized. Here we ...
