Addition of fructooligosaccharides and dried plum to soy-based diets reverses bone loss in the ovariectomized rat
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011-02-20)
Dietary bioactive components that play a role in improving skeletal health have received considerable attention in complementary and alternative medicine practices as a result of their increased efficacy to combat chronic ...
High prevalence of "Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae" and apparent exclusion of Rickettsia parkeri in adult Amblyomma maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae) from Kansas and Oklahoma
(Elsevier BV, 2015-03-13)
Amblyomma maculatum (the Gulf Coast tick), an aggressive, human-biting, Nearctic and Neotropical tick, is the principal vector of Rickettsia parkeri in the United States. This pathogenic spotted fever group Rickettsia ...
Exotic superconductivity through bosons in a dynamical cluster approximation
(2015-08-07)
We study the instabilities towards (exotic) superconductivity of mixtures of spin-1/2 fermions coupled to scalar bosons on a two-dimensional square lattice with the Dynamical-Cluster-Approximation (DCA) using a numerically ...
Population- and genome-specific patterns of linkage disequilibrium and SNP variation in spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(BioMed Central, 2010-12-29)
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are ideally suited for the construction of high-resolution genetic maps, studying population evolutionary history and performing genome-wide association mapping experiments. ...
Success team program: A model of mentorship
(2016-05-01)
The first year at the university can be particularly trying for students entering the difficult major of Architecture. The unusual time commitment, as well as the high standards for performance, can confound entering ...
ERK1 and ERK2 present functional redundancy in tetrapods despite higher evolution rate of ERK1
(BioMed Central, 2015-09-03)
Background: The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is involved in essential cell processes and it is abnormally activated in ~30 % of cancers and cognitive disorders. Two ERK isoforms have been described, ERK1 and ERK2; ...
Blocking effects and non-clause bound reflexives in Mandarin and American English
(John Benjamins Publishing, 2015-09-21)
A sub-set of languages with non-clause bound (NCB) reflexives exhibits Blocking effects. In these languages, a NCB reflexive is "blocked" from corefering with a higher subject when a lower subject does not agree with a ...
Gene transfers shaped the evolution of de novo NAD+ biosynthesis in eukaryotes
(Oxford University Press, 2014-08-27)
NAD+ is an essential molecule for life, present in each living cell. It can function as an electron carrier or cofactor in redox biochemistry and energetics, and serves as substrate to generate the secondary messenger ...
Proboscis conditioning experiments with honeybees, Apis mellifera caucasica, with butyric acid and DEET mixture as conditioned and unconditioned stimuli
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
Three experiments are described investigating whether olfactory repellents DEET and butyric acid can support the classical conditioning of proboscis extension in the honeybee, Apis mellifera caucasica (Hymenoptera: Apidae). ...
