Combined search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to bb[over ¯] using the D0 Run II data set
(2012-09-20)
We present the results of the combination of searches for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and decaying into bb[over ¯] using the data sample collected with the D0 detector in ...
Characterization of the small RNA component of leaves and fruits from four different cucurbit species
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-23)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression critical for plant growth and development, stress responses and other diverse biological ...
Advanced glycation end product cross-link breaker attenuates diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction by improving sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium handling
(Frontiers Media, 2012-07-19)
Diabetic heart disease is a distinct clinical entity that can progress to heart failure and sudden death. However, the mechanisms responsible for the alterations in excitation-contraction coupling leading to cardiac ...
Evidence for a particle produced in association with weak bosons and decaying to a bottom-antibottom quark pair in Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron
(2012-08-14)
We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z boson and subsequent decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-antibottom quark pair. The data, originating from ...
Experimental tree removal in tallgrass prairie: Variable responses of flora and fauna along a woody cover gradient
(Ecological Society of America, 2012)
Woody plant encroachment is a worldwide phenomenon in grassland and savanna systems whose consequence is often the development of an alternate woodland state. Theoretically, an alternate state may be associated with changes ...
Factors associated with growth in daily smoking among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2012-12-01)
North American Indigenous adolescents smoke earlier, smoke more, and are more likely to become regular smokers as adults than youth from any other ethnic group, yet we know very little about their early smoking trajectories. ...
Measurements of WW and WZ production in W + jets final states in pp[over ¯] collisions
(2012-05-02)
We study WW and WZ production with ℓνqq (ℓ = e, µ) final states using data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider corresponding to 4.3 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity from pp[over ¯] collisions at √s ...
Nature reserves as catalysts for landscape change
(Ecological Society of America, 2012-02-14)
Scientists have called repeatedly for a broader conservation agenda that emphasizes not only protected areas but also the landscapes in which those areas are embedded. We describe key advances in the science and practice ...
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) as a tool for dissecting the molecular mechanisms for maturation of the Shigella type III secretion needle tip complex
(MDPI, 2012-11-16)
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) provides a powerful tool for monitoring intermolecular interactions and a sensitive technique for studying A-level protein conformational changes. One system that has particularly ...
Neglected tropical diseases of Namibia: Unsolved mysteries
(Elsevier BV, 2012-09-21)
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are diseases most commonly found in settings of poverty and are responsible for the morbidity and/or mortality of millions each year. As an upper-middle income country, Namibia is not ...
