Assessing the effects of variables and background selection on the capture of the tick climate niche
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-26)
Background: Modelling the environmental niche and spatial distribution of pathogen-transmitting arthropods involves various quality and methodological concerns related to using climate data to capture the environmental ...
Detection of selective sweeps in cattle using genome-wide SNP data
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-07)
Background: The domestication and subsequent selection by humans to create breeds and biological types of cattle undoubtedly altered the patterning of variation within their genomes. Strong selection to fix advantageous ...
What is identity? ELL and bilinguals' views on the role of accent
(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2013-12-31)
Many researchers and theorists have proposed a connection between accent and identity (Celce-Murcia, Brinton, Goodwin, & Griner, 2010; Ochs, 1993; Setter and Jenkins, 2005). Some, however, have gone beyond this, indicating ...
Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of B-carbonic anhydrase psCA3 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(International Union of Crystallography, 2013)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in susceptible individuals and is resistant to most clinically available antimicrobials. Genomic and proteomic studies have ...
Sintering effects on chemical and physical properties of bioactive ceramics
(SpringerOpen, 2013)
The objective of this study was to characterize the chemical and physical properties of bioactive ceramics prepared from an aqueous paste containing hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP). Prior to ...
Transcriptome analysis of heat stress response in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-06)
Background: Global warming predictions indicate that temperatures will increase by another 2-6°C by the end of this century. High temperature is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and productivity in many areas ...
Development of a rapid, sensitive, and field-deployable Razor Ex BioDetection system and quantitative PCR assay for detection of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora using multiple gene targets
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-04)
A validated, multigene-based method using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and the Razor Ex BioDetection system was developed for detection of Phymatotrichopsis omnivora. This soilborne fungus causes Phymatotrichopsis ...
Steering clear of the rocks: A look at the current state of oral history ethics in the digital age
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03-07)
In recent conversations about ethics in oral history, most of the topics tend to fall into two main categories-legislated or voluntary. Interactions with Institutional Review Boards and the nature and content of consent ...
Genetic association of OPR genes with resistance to Hessian fly in hexaploid wheat
(BioMed Central, 2013-06-01)
Background: Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat. The genes encoding 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR) and lipoxygenase (LOX) play critical roles in insect resistance ...
Anatrichosoma sp. in the footpads of a cat: Diagnosis and pathology of Namibian case
(Elsevier BV, 2013-01-31)
Anatrichosoma species are an unusual group of zoonotic trichuroid nematodes. Due to limited knowledge of their life cycle and diagnostic challenges, anatrichosomiasis has been reported only 3 times in domestic animals. A ...
