Self-reported arrests among Indigenous adolescents: A longitudinal analysis of community, family, and individual risk factors
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016)
Purpose: North American indigenous (American Indian/Canadian First Nations) adolescents are overrepresented in the juvenile justice systems in the USA and Canada. One explanation advanced for disproportionate numbers of ...
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 ...
Transcriptional and metabolic signatures of Arabidopsis responses to chewing damage by an insect herbivore and bacterial infection and the consequences of their interaction
(Frontiers Media, 2014-09-17)
Plants use multiple interacting signaling systems to identify and respond to biotic stresses. Although it is often assumed that there is specificity in signaling responses to specific pests, this is rarely examined outside ...
Primer modification improves rapid and sensitive in vitro and field-deployable assays for detection of High plains virus variants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-01)
A high consequence pathogen, High plains virus (HPV) causes considerable damage to wheat if the crop is infected during early stages of development. Methods for the early, accurate, and sensitive detection of HPV in plant ...
Profile, perceptions and future expectations of medical laboratory scientists in Namibia
(AOSIS, 2015-08-20)
Background: Public healthcare systems in sub-Saharan Africa are challenged by healthcare worker shortages, loss of trained staff and attrition to the private sector. Studies have historically focused on medical doctors, ...
Mediation analysis with survival outcomes: Accelerated failure time vs. proportional hazards models
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-30)
Objective: Survival time is an important type of outcome variable in treatment research. Currently, limited guidance is available regarding performing mediation analyses with survival outcomes, which generally do not have ...
Oral re-vaccination of Eurasian wild boar with Mycobacterium bovis BCG yields a strong protective response against challenge with a field strain
(BioMed Central, 2014-04-26)
Background: Field vaccination trials with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, an attenuated mutant of M. bovis, are ongoing in Spain, where the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) is regarded as the main driver of animal tuberculosis ...
Do nonphysical punishments reduce antisocial behavior more than spanking? A comparison using the strongest previous causal evidence against spanking
(BioMed Central, 2010-02-22)
Background: The strongest causal evidence that customary spanking increases antisocial behavior is based on prospective studies that control statistically for initial antisocial differences. None of those studies have ...
Terahertz two-cylinder waveguide coupler for transverse-magnetic and transverse-electric mode operation
(AIP Publishing, 2011-02-18)
We report the coupling and guiding of broadband terahertz radiation using a two-cylinder waveguide coupler. For the transverse electromagnetic TEM (TM0) geometry, the two opposing metal cylinders exhibit an amplitude ...
