Metagenomic Evidence for H2 Oxidation and H2 Production by Serpentinite-Hosted Subsurface Microbial Communities
(2012-01-06)
Among civilian academic physicians, having a mentor is associated with greater job satisfaction. Whether this is true for military physicians is unknown. We sought to examine whether having a mentor is associated with ...
Measures of the consumer food store environment: A systematic review of the evidence 2000-2011
(2012-08)
Description of the consumer food environment has proliferated in publication. However, there has been a lack of systematic reviews focusing on how the consumer food environment is associated with the following: (1) ...
Estimating coastal lagoon tidal flooding and repletion with multidate ASTER thermal imagery
(2012-10-18)
Coastal lagoons mix inflowing freshwater and tidal marine waters in complex spatial patterns. This project sought to detect and measure temperature and spatial variability of flood tides for a constricted coastal lagoon ...
In Vivo Blood Glucose Quantification Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2012-10-25)
We here propose a novel Raman spectroscopy method that permits the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose concentration. To reduce the effects of the strong background signals produced by surrounding tissue and to obtain ...
Factors associated with survival of veterans with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors
(2012-05-27)
Background. Gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumor (NET) incidence has been increasing; however, GI NET within the national Veterans Affairs (VA) health system has not been described. Methods. We used the VA Central ...
Millipede taxonomy after 250 years: classification and taxonomic practices in a mega-diverse yet understudied arthropod group.
(2012-03-15)
BACKGROUND: The arthropod class Diplopoda is a mega-diverse group comprising >12,000 described millipede species. The history of taxonomic research within the group is tumultuous and, consequently, has yielded a questionable ...
MEK inhibition enhances ABT-737-induced leukemia cell apoptosis via prevention of ERK-activated MCL-1 induction and modulation of MCL-1/BIM complex
(2012-04)
Recently, strategies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy have been developed that target anti-apoptotic BCL2 family members using BH3-mimetic drugs such as ABT-737. Though effective against BCL2 and [BCL-X.sub.L], ...
MicroRNA expression analysis in the cellulosic biofuel crop switchgrass (panicum virgatum) under abiotic stress
(2012-03-28)
Switchgrass has increasingly been recognized as a dedicated biofuel crop for its broad adaptation to marginal lands and high biomass. However, little is known about the basic biology and the regulatory mechanisms of gene ...
