THE EFFECTS OF SILICA FERTILIZER AS AN ANTI-HERBIVORE DEFENSE IN CUCUMBER
(2017-06)
This study aims to improve our understanding of silicon’s role in deterring herbivores from Cucumis
sativa. We hypothesized that silicon’s role in plant defense is due to the presence of silica augmenting other physical ...
Advanced immunostaining approaches to study early male germ cell development
(2018-02-09)
Mammalian male germ cell development takes place in the testis under the influence of a variety of somatic cells and an incompletely defined paracrine and endocrine influences. Since it is not recapitulated well in vitro, ...
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρ CO 2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-06)
Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect spe- cies is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ...
EPG5-related Vici syndrome: a paradigm of neurodevelopmental disorders with defective autophagy
(2016)
Vici syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopmental multisystem disorder due to recessive mutations in the key autophagy gene EPG5. We report genetic, clinical, neuroradiological, and neuropathological features of 50 children ...
Diffusion and perfusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging for tumor volume definition in radiotherapy of brain tumors
(2016-09-21)
Accurate target volume delineation is crucial for the radiotherapy of tumors. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information about brain tumors, and they are able to detect tumor ...
Driving innovation through big open linked data (BOLD): Exploring antecedents using interpretive structural modelling
(2016-07-13)
Innovation is vital to find new solutions to prob- lems, increase quality, and improve profitability. Big open linked data (BOLD) is a fledgling and rapidly evolving field that creates new opportunities for innovation. ...

(2016-09-14)
This study examines the signals of trust in stolen data advertisements by analysing the structural and situational factors that influence the type of feedback sellers receive. Specifically, this article explores the factors ...
Designing the Learning Experiences in Serious Games: The Overt and the Subtle—The Virtual Clinic Learning Environment
(2018-06-29)
: Serious Games are becoming more common in the educational setting and must pass
muster with both students and instructors for their learning experience and knowledge building.
The Virtual Clinic Learning Environment ...
Differential Post-Exercise Blood Pressure Responses between Blacks and Caucasians
(2016-04-13)
Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is widely observed in Caucasians (CA) and is associated with histamine receptors 1- and 2- (H1R and H2R) mediated post-exercise vasodilation. However, it appears that blacks (BL) may not ...
Effects of CO2 laser irradiation on matrix-rich biofilm development formation–an in vitro study
(2016-11-01)
Background: A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser has been used to morphologically and chemically modify the dental enamel surface as well as to make it more resistant to demineralization. Despite a variety of experiments demonstrating ...
