Nuclear progestin receptor (Pgr) knockouts in zebrafish demonstrate role for Pgr in ovulation but not in rapid non-genomic steroid mediated meiosis resumption
(2015)
Progestins, progesterone derivatives, are the most critical signaling steroid for initiating final
oocyte maturation (FOM) and ovulation, in order to advance fully-grown immature oocytes
to become fertilizable eggs in ...
Challenges to adaptation: a fundamental concept for the shared socio-economic pathways and beyond
(2014)
The framework for the new scenarios being developed for climate research calls
for the development of a set of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which are meant to
differ in terms of their challenges to mitigation ...
An Extended Fourier Approach to Improve the Retrieved Leaf Area Index (LAI) in a Time Series from an Alpine Wetland
(2015)
An extended Fourier approach was presented to improve the retrieved leaf area
index (LAIr) of herbaceous vegetation in a time series from an alpine wetland. The retrieval
was performed from the Aqua MODIS 8-day composite ...
Bias Within: Examining the Role of Cultural Competence Perceptions in Mammography Adherence
(2015)
Breast cancer mortality has affected African American women at a disproportionate rate. The purpose of this research was
to assess how health professionals’ cultural competence contributes to African American women’s ...
Brachial Flow-Mediated Dilation and Incident Atrial Fibrillation The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(2014)
Objective—It is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction precedes atrial fibrillation (AF) development. The objective of
this study was to examine the association of brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with incident ...
Analysis of the B-RAFV600E mutation in cutaneous melanoma patients with occupational sun exposure
(2014)
Sun-exposure is one of the risk factors associated with the development of a cutaneous neoplasm. In melanoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK (MAPK) signaling pathway is constitutively activated through multiple mechanisms, including ...
A case control study of environmental and occupational exposures associated with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in patients admitted to a rural tertiary care hospital in a high density swine region
(2014)
Background: Distinct strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been identified on livestock
and livestock workers. Industrial food animal production may be an important environmental reservoir for ...
Response and resilience of Spartina alterniflora to sudden dieback
(2016-08)
We measured an array of biophysical and spectral variables to evaluate the response and recovery of Spartina alterniflora to a sudden dieback event in spring and summer 2004 within a low marsh in coastal Virginia, USA. S. ...
Rapid Evolution of Manifold CRISPR Systems for Plant Genome Editing
(2016-11-14)
Advanced CRISPR-Cas9 based technologies first validated in mammalian cell systems
are quickly being adapted for use in plants. These new technologies increase
CRISPR-Cas9’s utility and effectiveness by diversifying ...
The state of the science of nurse work environments in the United States: A systematic review
(2018-04-16)
A healthy nurse work environment is a workplace that is safe, empowering, and satisfying. Many research studies were conducted on nurse work environments in the last decade; however, it lacks an overview of these research ...
