Unspoiled broth: A memorandum of understanding for chefs cooking up OER
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2021)
Construction and use of bacterial DNA microarrays based on an optimized two-stage PCR strategy
(BioMed Central, 2003-06-12)
Background: DNA microarrays are a powerful tool with important applications such as global gene expression profiling. Construction of bacterial DNA microarrays from genomic sequence data using a two-stage PCR amplification ...
Single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy of isotropic-scattering medium: An analytic perspective to the ratio-of-remission in steady-state measurements
(MDPI, 2014-12-16)
Recent focused Monte Carlo and experimental studies on steady-state single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy (SfRS) from a biologically relevant scattering medium have revealed that, as the dimensionless reduced scattering ...
New strategy in observer modeling for greenhouse cucumber seedling growth
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-08)
State observer is an essential component in computerized control loops for greenhouse-crop systems. However, the current accomplishments of observer modeling for greenhouse-crop systems mainly focus on mass/energy balance, ...
Landscape of fear as an emergent property of heterogeneity: Contrasting patterns of predation risk in grassland ecosystems
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-05-24)
The likelihood of encountering a predator influences prey behavior and spatial distribution such that non-consumptive effects can outweigh the influence of direct predation. Prey species are thought to filter information ...
Similarity between copper resistance genes from Xanthomonas campestris and Pseudomonas syringae
(American Society for Microbiology, 1993-05)
Plasmid-borne copper resistance genes from copper-resistant strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria from California, Florida, and Oklahoma shared structural similarities. A strain of X. campestris pv. campestris ...
Predicting the onset of alcohol use and the development of alcohol use disorder among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2016-05)
Empirical efforts to identify the predictors of drinking behavior among North American Indigenous adolescents are relatively limited. Using longitudinal data, this study considers perceived discrimination, positive drinker ...
Early inflorescence development in the grasses (Poaceae)
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-23)
The shoot apical meristem of grasses produces the primary branches of the inflorescence, controlling inflorescence architecture and hence seed production. Whereas leaves are produced in a distichous pattern, with the ...
