Exploring transparency: a new framework for responsible business management
(2016-02-08)
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the relevant literature on transparency, provide a comprehensive definition of transparency, and present a new framework for facilitating the adoption of transparency as ...
Predator foraging altitudes reveal the structure of aerial insect communities
(2016-06-29)
The atmosphere is populated by a diverse array of dispersing insects and their predators. We studied aerial insect communities by tracking the foraging altitudes of an avian insectivore, the Purple Martin (Progne subis). ...
Type I Interferons Induce T Regulatory 1 Responses and Restrict Humoral Immunity during Experimental Malaria
(PLoS Pathogens, 2016-10-12)
Author Summary Humoral immunity is essential for host resistance to pathogens that trigger highly inflammatory immune responses, including Plasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria. Long-lived, secreted antibody ...
Determinants of Salivary Cotinine among Smokeless Tobacco Users: A Cross-Sectional Survey in Bangladesh
(PLos One, 2016-08-09)
Introduction More than 80% of all smokeless tobacco (ST) products in the world are consumed in South Asia; yet little is known about their consumption behaviour, addictiveness, and toxic properties. This paper, for the ...
Capitalizing resolving power of density gradient ultracentrifugation by freezing and precisely slicing centrifuged solution : enabling identification of complex proteins from mitochondria by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(2016)
Density gradient centrifugation is widely utilized for various high purity sample preparations, and density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) is often used for more resolution-demanding purification of organelles and ...
A Drosophila Model of HPV E6-Induced Malignancy Reveals Essential Roles for Magi and the Insulin Receptor
(PLoS Pathogens, 2016-08-18)
Author Summary Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of cervical cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer death in women worldwide. The E6 oncoprotein encoded by HPV has been implicated in the progression ...
A New Random Walk for Replica Detection in WSNs
(PLos One, 2016-07-13)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to Node Replication attacks or Clone attacks. Among all the existing clone detection protocols in WSNs, RAWL shows the most promising results by employing Simple Random Walk ...
Autonomous visual navigation of an indoor environment using a parsimonious, insect inspired familiarity algorithm
(2016-04-27)
The navigation of bees and ants from hive to food and back has captivated people for more than a century. Recently, the Navigation by Scene Familiarity Hypothesis (NSFH) has been proposed as a parsimonious approach that ...
Establishment of a 3D In Vitro Model to Accelerate the Development of Human Therapies against Corneal Diabetes
(PLos One, 2016-12-22)
Purpose To establish an in vitro model that would mirror the in vivo corneal stromal environment in diabetes (DM) patients. Methods Human corneal fibroblasts from Healthy (HCFs), Type 1DM (T1DM) and Type 2DM (T2DM) donors ...
The Role of Neutrophil Proteins on the Amyloid Beta-RAGE Axis
(PLos One, 2016-09-27)
We previously showed an elevated expression of the neutrophil protein, cationic antimicrobial protein of 37kDa (CAP37), in brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), suggesting that CAP37 could be involved in AD ...
