Maternal effects of herbivory in Impatiens capensis
(University of Chicago Press, 2010)
Maternal effects of herbivory for fitness-related traits of offspring, especially those traits that are expressed later in a plant's life, have rarely been studied. To better understand how herbivory to the maternal plant ...
Interlamellar organization of phase separated domains in multi-component lipid multilayers: Energetic considerations
(MDPI, 2013-02-08)
A recent experimental study [1] has demonstrated the alignment of phase separated domains across hundreds of bilayer units in multicomponent stacked lipid bilayers. The origin of this alignment is the interlamellar coupling ...
Phylogenetic diversities and community structure of members of the extremely halophilic Archaea (order Halobacteriales) in multiple saline sediment habitats
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-03)
We investigated the phylogenetic diversity and community structure of members of the halophilic Archaea (order Halobacteriales) in five distinct sediment habitats that experience various levels of salinity and salinity ...
Returns to English-language skills in India
(University of Chicago Press, 2013)
India's colonial legacy and linguistic diversity give English an important role in its economy, and this role has expanded due to globalization in recent decades. In this study, we use individual-level data from the 2005 ...
Influence of religious affiliation and education on HIV knowledge and HIV-related sexual behaviors among unmarried youth in rural central Mozambique
(Informa UK Limited, 2010-10)
The interactions between religious affiliation, education, HIV knowledge, and HIV-related sexual behaviors among African church youth are poorly understood. In this socio-demographic study, 522 unmarried youth 12-28 years ...
Inhibition of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by the broad-spectrum dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor RAB1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-09)
The bacterial burden on human health is quickly outweighing available therapeutics. Our long-term goal is the development of antimicrobials with the potential for broad-spectrum activity. We previously reported phthalazine-based ...
Novel thermostable xylanase GH10 from Malbranchea pulchella expressed in Aspergillus nidulans with potential applications in biotechnology
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-29)
Background: The search for novel thermostable xylanases for industrial use has intensified in recent years, and thermophilic fungi are a promising source of useful enzymes. The present work reports the heterologous expression ...
Building a model: Developing genomic resources for common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) with low coverage genome sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2011-05-04)
Background: Milkweeds (Asclepias L.) have been extensively investigated in diverse areas of evolutionary biology and ecology; however, there are few genetic resources available to facilitate and compliment these studies. ...
Looking at the label and beyond: The effects of calorie labels, health consciousness, and demographics on caloric intake in restaurants
(BioMed Central, 2013-02-08)
Background: Recent legislation has required calorie labels on restaurant menus as a means of improving Americans' health. Despite the growing research in this area, no consensus has been reached on the effectiveness of ...
Evidence for WZ and ZZ production in final states with b-tagged jets
(2011-11-15)
We present evidence for the combined production of VZ (V = W or Z) events in final states containing charged leptons (electrons or muons) or neutrinos, and heavy flavor jets, using data collected by the D0 detector at the ...
