Rooftop Gardens and Solar Energy
(2016-04)Green roofs are a form of green architecture used to provide a natural insulation for a residential or commercial building. The green roof replaces the traditional roofing shingles. The roof is composed of soil and vegetation. ... -
Root parasitic plant Orobanche aegyptiaca and shoot parasitic plant Cuscuta australis obtained Brassicaceae-specific strictosidine synthase-like genes by horizontal gene transfer
(2014)Background Besides gene duplication and de novo gene generation, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is another important way of acquiring new genes. HGT may endow the recipients with novel phenotypic traits that are important ... -
Route activity tracking and management using available technology
(2012)Small organizations that maintain their own fleet and make their own deliveries are responsible for ensuring their drivers are utilizing the most efficient routes while delivering products to their customers. Furthermore, ... -
Sarcoidosis activates diverse transcriptional programs in bronchoalveolar lavage cells
(2016-07)Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in bronchoalveolar ... -
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis
(2013-10)It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms remain largely ... -
Scholarly publishing depends on peer reviewers
(2018-03-29)The peer-review crisis is posing a risk to the scholarly peer-reviewed journal system. Journals have to ask many potential peer reviewers to obtain a minimum acceptable number of peers accepting reviewing a manuscript. ... -
Sclerosing Mesenteritis: A Rare Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction
(2016)Sclerosing mesenteritis falls within a spectrum of primary idiopathic inflammatory and fibrotic processes that affect the mesentery. The exact etiology has not been determined, although the following associations have been ... -

Screening of biocatalysts for synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone.
(2020-09-16)Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess “promiscuous” catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we ... -
Seasonal Changes of Extremes in Isolated and Mesoscale Precipitation for the Southeastern United States
(2018-08-09)The association between instantaneous extreme precipitation and mesoscale organization over the southeastern United States is not well known. This study addresses whether isolated precipitation features have a distinct ... -
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2016-12-22)A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ... -
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex dierences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2017-02)A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop con- servation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ... -
A second locality for the Namib darkling beetle Onymacris brainei (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) and first report on its molecular phylogenetic placement
(2017-08-01)Onymacris brainei Penrith, 1984 – the most recent species of Onymacris to be described – is known only from its type locality in the Namib Desert, adjacent to the Cunene River in northern Namibia. No additional specimens ... -

Sediment Cores from White Pond, South Carolina, contain a Platinum Anomaly, Pyrogenic Carbon Peak, and Coprophilous Spore Decline at 12.8 ka
(2019-09-27)A widespread platinum (Pt) anomaly was recently documented in Greenland ice and 11 North American sedimentary sequences at the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) event (~12,800 cal yr BP), consistent with the YD Impact ... -
A SEER Database Retrospective Cohort of 547 Patients with Penile Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Demographics, Clinical Characteristics, and Outcomes
(2023-10-31)Introduction: Little research has investigated the prevalence and distribution of the diverse pathologies of non-squamous cell carcinoma (non-SCC) of the penis. Although rare in clinical practice, these cancers have become ... -
Selection of reliable reference genes in caenorhabditis elegans for analysis of nanotoxicity
(2012-03-15)Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode ... -
Self-similarity and non-Markovian behavior in traded stock volumes
(2015)The volume traded daily for 17 stocks is followed over a period of about half a century. We look at the volume of stocks traded in a certain time interval (day, week, month) and analyze how long that traded volume keeps ...
