Mitigation Effect of Waste Glass Powders on Alkali–Silica Reaction (ASR) Expansion in Cementitious Composite
(2018-11-20)The effects of different contents and particle sizes of waste glass powder on alkali–silica reaction (ASR) expansion of cementitious composite bar were investigated in this study. Waste glass powder with particle size less ... -
Mitochondrial PE potentiates respiratory enzymes to amplify skeletal muscle aerobic capacity
(2019-09-11)Exercise capacity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity, its biggest contributor, adapts robustly to changes in energy demands induced by contractile activity. ... -
Mitsui-7, heat-treated, and nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes elicit genotoxicity in human lung epithelial cells.
(2019-10-07)Background: The unique physicochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have led to many industrial applications. Due to their low density and small size, MWCNT are easily aerosolized in the workplace ... -
A mixed method analysis of patients' complaints: Underpinnings of theory-guided strategies to improve quality of care
(2018-10-10)Purpose: Patients' complaints can be predictors of patient care quality and safety. Understanding patients' complaints could help healthcare organizations target the areas for improvements. The purpose of this study is ... -
Ml proteins from Mesorhizobium loti and MucR from Brucella abortus: an AT-rich core DNA-target site and oligomerization ability
(2017-11-17)Mesorhizobium loti contains ten genes coding for proteins sharing high amino acid sequence identity with members of the Ros/MucR transcription factor family. Five of these Ros/MucR family members from Mesorhizobium loti ... -
Modeling of non-small cell lung cancer volume changes during CT-based image guided radiotherapy: Patterns observed and clinical implications
(2013-08-26)Background. To characterize the lung tumor volume response during conventional and hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) based on diagnostic quality CT images prior to each treatment fraction. Methods. Out of 26 consecutive ... -
The Moderating Effect of Employee Political Skill on the Link between Perceptions of a Victimizing Work Environment and Job Performance
(2017-05-30)Research has generally revealed only a weak link, if any at all, between victimization- related experiences and job performance. Drawing on the commonly used conservation of resources perspective, we argue that such ... -
Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation, for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis, referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ... -
Molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration: Emerging roles of microRNAs
(2013-04-01)microRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression through target mRNA degradation or translation repression. Recent studies suggest that miRNA plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological ... -
Molecular targeting of the Aurora-A/SMAD5 oncogenic axis restores chemosensitivity in human breast cancer cells
(2017-09-01)Although the majority of breast cancers initially respond to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents, most breast cancer patients experience tumor relapse and ultimately die because of drug resistance. Breast ... -
Monitoring Rice Phenology Based on Backscattering Characteristics of Multi-Temporal RADARSAT-2 Datasets
(2018-02-23)Accurate estimation and monitoring of rice phenology is necessary for the management and yield prediction of rice. The radar backscattering coefficient, one of the most direct and accessible parameters has been proved to ... -
Monopolar Detection Thresholds Predict Spatial Selectivity of Neural Excitation in Cochlear Implants: Implications for Speech Recognition
(2016)The objectives of the study were to (1) investigate the potential of using monopolar psychophysical detection thresholds for estimating spatial selectivity of neural excitation with cochlear implants and to (2) examine the ... -
The moral discourses of ‘post-crisis’ neoliberalism: a case study of Lithuania’s Labour Code reform
(2017-03)This article problematizes the neoliberal reconfiguration of labour rights in Lithuania, a newer European Union member state, in which the impacts of the global economic and financial crisis were particularly severe and ... -
Morbihan disease: A diagnostic dilemma: two cases with successful resolution
(2021-06-11)Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity characterized by persistent erythema and solid edema of upper two-thirds of the face. Although its etiology is poorly understood, it is known to have a wide differential diagnosis and is ... -
Moving Beyond the Gym: A Content Analysis of YouTube as an Information Resource for Physical Literacy
(2019-09-10)The Internet, and particularly YouTube, has been found to be and continues to develop as a resourceful educational space for health-related information. Understanding physical literacy as a lifelong health-related outcome ... -
“Moving Toward Healthy”: Insights Into Food Choices of Mothers in Residential Recovery
(2016-11)This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face- to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential ... -
MPK-1/ERK is required for the full activity of resveratrol in extended lifespan and reproduction.
(2018-12-21)Resveratrol (RSV) extends the lifespan of various organisms through activation of sirtuin. However, whether RSV-mediated longevity is entirely dependent upon sirtuin is still controversial. Thus, understanding additional ... -
