Isozyme-Specific Ligands for O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase, a Novel Antibiotic Target
(PLos One, 2013-10-22)
The last step of cysteine biosynthesis in bacteria and plants is catalyzed by O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase. In bacteria, two isozymes, O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-B, have been identified ...
Poeciliid male mate preference is influenced by female size but not by fecundity
(2013)
While female mate preference is very well studied, male preference has only recently begun to receive significant attention. Its existence is found in numerous taxa, but empirical research has mostly been limited to a ...
Negotiating the Meaning of Team Expertise: A Firefighter Team’s Epistemic Denial
(Small Group Research, 2013-02-01)
In this case study, we report how a team of firefighters critiqued one of its member’s decisions to facilitate learning and process improvement. The study is supported by 500+ hr of ethnographic observations, documents, ...
Repeatability of the timed 25-foot walk test for individuals with multiple sclerosis
(Clinical Rehabilitation, 2013-08-01)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a practice effect present in the timed 25-foot walk in ambulatory individuals with multiple sclerosis.
NUCLEAR FACTOR Y Transcription Factors Have Both Opposing and Additive Roles in ABA-Mediated Seed Germination
(PLos One, 2013-03-19)
In the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana the heterotrimeric transcription factor NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) has been shown to play multiple roles in facilitating plant growth and development. Although NF-Y itself represents ...
Establishing a Causal Relationship Between Intervention to Promote Self-Determination and Enhanced Student Self-Determination
(The Journal of Special Education, 2013-02-01)
Promoting the self-determination of adolescents with disabilities has become best practice in secondary education and transition services, but to date there have been no studies establishing a causal relationship between ...
BAC-pool sequencing and analysis of large segments of A12 and D12 homoeologous chromosomes in upland cotton.
(2013-10-08)
Although new and emerging next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have reduced sequencing costs significantly, much work remains to implement them for de novo sequencing of complex and highly repetitive genomes such ...
Usability Evaluation of a Paratransit Mobile Application
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2013-09-01)
TransitMobile is a mobile application that provides logistic information to drivers in Oklahoma community-based paratransit operations. Passenger reservation information is transferred from the home agency to in-vehicle ...
Epsin 1 Promotes Synaptic Growth by Enhancing BMP Signal Levels in Motoneuron Nuclei
(PLos One, 2013-06-19)
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) retrograde signaling is crucial for neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. However, how the BMP effector phospho-Mother against decapentaplegic (pMad) is processed following receptor ...
Data Structures and Algorithms for Counting Problems on Graphs using GPU
(2013-07)
The availability and utility of large numbers of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have enabled parallel computations using extensive multi-threading. Sequential access to global memory and contention at the size-limited ...
