MicroRNA and mRNA expression profiling in rat acute respiratory distress syndrome
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-28)
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by pulmonary epithelial injury and extensive inflammation of the pulmonary parenchyma. Systematic analyses of microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression ...
Novel genomes and genome constitutions identified by GISH and 5S rDNA and knotted1 genomic sequences in the genus Setaria
(BioMed Central, 2013-04-11)
Background: The Setaria genus is increasingly of interest to researchers, as its two species, S. viridis and S. italica, are being developed as models for understanding C4 photosynthesis and plant functional genomics. The ...
Oviposition by female Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): Description and time budget analysis of behaviors in laboratory studies
(MDPI, 2016-01-22)
The oviposition behavior of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a major insect pest of durable stored foods, was studied in small experimental arenas under laboratory conditions ...
Ecosystem services provided by playas in the High Plains: Potential influences of USDA conservation programs
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)
Playas are shallow depressional wetlands and the dominant wetland type in the non-glaciated High Plains of the United States. This region is one of the most intensively cultivated regions in the Western Hemisphere, and ...
Lights, catalogs, archives!: A selected annotated list of Web resources for film and television studies
(Emerald Publishing, 2014)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a selected list of free and subscription Web resources for film and television (screen) studies.
Support Vector Machine based method to distinguish proteobacterial proteins from eukaryotic plant proteins
(BioMed Central, 2012-09-11)
Background: Members of the phylum Proteobacteria are most prominent among bacteria causing plant diseases that result in a diminution of the quantity and quality of food produced by agriculture. To ameliorate these losses, ...
Evidence for alternative quaternary structure in a bacterial Type III secretion system chaperone
(BioMed Central, 2010-07-15)
Background: Type III secretion systems are a common virulence mechanism in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. These systems use a nanomachine resembling a molecular needle and syringe to provide an energized conduit ...
The utility of direct-current as compared to frequency domain measurements in spectrally-constrained diffuse optical tomography toward cancer imaging
(SAGE Publications, 2011-10-01)
This work investigates, by means of analytical and simulation studies, the performance of spectrally-constrained image reconstruction in Continuous-Wave or Direct-Current (DC) and Frequency Domain (FD) near-infrared optical ...
Response of mid-rotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) physiology and productivity to sustained, moderate drought on the western edge of the range
(MDPI, 2016-09-14)
The productivity of the approximately 11 million ha of loblolly pine plantations in the southeastern USA could be threatened by decreased water availability in a future climate. To determine the effects of sustained drought ...
Sigma factor n, liaison to an ntrC and rpoS dependent regulatory pathway controlling acid resistance and the LEE in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012)
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is dependent on acid resistance for gastric passage and low oral infectious dose, and the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) for intestinal colonization. Mutation of rpoN, encoding ...
