Backscattering modeling of wheat using vector radiative transfer theory
(2015-04-21)A microwave backscattering model of winter wheat based on the vector radiative transfer theory has been established. The model focused on the distribution of wheat ears that are directly related to the yield. In addition, ... -
Bacteroides fragilis requires the ferrous-iron transporter FeoAB and the CobN-like proteins BtuS1 and BtuS2 for assimilation of iron released from heme
(2018-05-07)The intestinal commensal and opportunistic anaerobic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis has an essential requirement for both heme and free iron to support growth in extraintestinal infections. In the absence of free iron, B. ... -
BARRIERS TO SUSTAINABILITY: A CROSS-CASE ANALYSIS OF SMALL TOURISM ACCOMMODATION ENTERPRISES (STAEs) IN DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-05)Small tourism accommodation enterprises (STAEs) are a continually growing segment of the hospitality industry, with considerable influence on the adoption of sustainability. Incorporating sustainability can present challenges, ... -
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ... -
Basic suture technique: Instructional videos explaining suturing for medical students in a qualitative study
(2019-10-25)Background: Understanding basic surgical skills is important for medical students prior to entering residency regardless of future specialty. In these videos we provide instruction for suturing as it relates to skin closure. ... -
A Bayesian machine scientist to aid in the solution of challenging scientific problems
(2020-01-31)Closed-form, interpretable mathematical models have been instrumental for advancing our understanding of the world; with the data revolution, we may now be in a position to uncover new such models for many systems from ... -
Bedside tool for predicting the risk of postoperative dialysis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(2006-11-06)Estimation of an individual patient’s risk for postoperative dialysis can support informed clinical decision making and patient counseling. -
The Bee Microbiome: Impact on Bee Health and Model for Evolution and Ecology of Host-Microbe Interactions
(2016)As pollinators, bees are cornerstones for terrestrial ecosystem stability and key components in agricultural productivity. All animals, including bees, are associated with a diverse community of microbes, commonly referred ... -
Before-school running/walking club: Effects on student on-task behavior
(2016-02-01)Before-school programs provide a good opportunity for children to engage in physical activity (PA) as well as im- prove their readiness to learn. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a before-school ... -
Behavioral and Transcriptome Profiling of Heterozygous Rab10 Knock-Out Mice
(2023-05-08)A central question in the field of aging research is to identify the cellular and molecular basis of neuroresilience. One potential candidate is the small GTPase, Rab10. Here, we used Rab101/ mice to investigate the ... -
Behavioral, ecological, and molecular genetic analyses of reproductive strategies in the Amazonian dart-poison frog, Dendrobates ventrimaculatus
(1997)We report the first field and genetic studies of the reproductive strategies of the Amazonian dart-poison frog Dendrobata vtntrimaculatus, a species with biparental care. Neither males nor females are strictly monogamous. ... -
Benthic community response to ice algae and phytoplankton in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard
(2006-04-03)We assessed the digestibility and utilization of ice algae and phytoplankton by the shallow, subtidal benthos in Ny Ålesund (Kongsfjord) on Svalbard (79°N, 12°E) using chlorophyll a(chl a), essential fatty acids (EFAs) and ... -
The best of both worlds? A review of delayed selfing in flowering plants
(2018-04-06)PREMISE OF STUDY: In a seminal body of theory, Lloyd showed that the fitness consequences of selfing will depend on its timing in anthesis. Selfing that occurs after opportunities for outcrossing or pollen dispersal can ... -
