Crystallization of interleukin-18 for structure-based inhibitor design
(International Union of Crystallography, 2015)
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 plays an important role in host innate and acquired immune defense, with its activity being modulated in vivo by ...
Impact of inter- and intra-specific competition among larvae on larval, adult, and life-table traits of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus females
(Wiley, 2015-12-08)
1. Few studies have taken a comprehensive approach of measuring the impact of inter- and intra-specific larval competition on adult mosquito traits. In this study, the impact of competition among Aedes aegypti (L.) and A. ...
On the geometry dependence of differential pathlength factor for near-infrared spectroscopy. I. Steady-state with homogeneous medium
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2015-10-14)
This work analytically examines some dependences of the differential pathlength factor (DPF) for steady-state photon diffusion in a homogeneous medium on the shape, dimension, and absorption and reduced scattering coefficients ...
Population dynamics in Floquet realisation of Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian
(2015-04-21)
We study the recent Floquet-realisation of the Harper-Hofstadter model in a gas of cold bosonic atoms. We study in detail the scattering processes in this system in the weakly interacting regime due to the interplay of ...
Novel insights into the historical biogeography of the streak-breasted scimitar babbler complex (Aves: Timaliidae: Pomatorhinus ruficollis complex)
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The Streak-breasted Scimitar Babblers of the Pomatorhinus ruficollis species complex are found in most of the forested habitats across southern and eastern Asia. The diversification history of this group is obscured by ...
Distant reading, computational stylistics, and corpus linguistics: The critical theory of digital humanities for literature subject librarians
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2015)
From means and variances to persons and patterns
(Frontiers Media, 2015-07-24)
A novel approach for conceptualizing and analyzing data from psychological studies is presented and discussed. This approach is centered on model building in an effort to explicate the structures and processes believed to ...
County scale distribution of Amblyomma americanum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Oklahoma: Addressing local deficits in tick maps based on passive reporting
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-03)
Geographic distribution records for the lone star tick [Amblyomma americanum (L.)] in the peer-reviewed literature are incomplete for Oklahoma, preventing accurate disease risk assessments. To address this issue and document ...
Emitter uniformity and application efficiency for centre-pivot irrigation systems
(Wiley, 2015-02-25)
A significant portion of the intensively cultivated agricultural areas in the Southern Great Plains of the USA is located in the Texas High Plains. Agriculture in this region mainly depends on water from the vast underground ...
Structural changes in the progression of atrial fibrillation: Potential role of glycogen and fibrosis as perpetuating factors
(e-Century Publishing, 2015-02-15)
Background: Previous studies of the goat heart subjected to prolonged atrial pacing induced sustained atrial fibrillation (AF). Structural changes included marked accumulation of glycogen in atrial myocytes. Aims: In the ...
