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 ...
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 ...
Phosphodiesterases regulate BAY 41-2272-induced VASP phosphorylation in vascular smooth muscle cells
(2012-02-07)
BAY 41-2272 (BAY), a stimulator of soluble guanylyl cyclase, increases cyclic nucleotides and inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In this study, we elucidated mechanisms of action of BAY in its ...

A wavelet [subscript] Kq[/subscript] (t ) , that satisfies the q-advanced differential equation [superscript] K q [variant prime][/superscript] ( t ) =[subscript] K q[/subscript] (qt ) for q >1 , is used to model N-wave ...
Prey Responses to Predator Chemical Cues: Disentangling the Importance of the Number and Biomass of Prey Consumed
(2012-10)
To effectively balance investment in predator defenses versus other traits, organisms must accurately assess predation risk. Chemical cues caused by predation events are indicators of risk for prey in a wide variety of ...
Effects of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy on surgical pathology specimens
(2012-03-13)
Background
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has greatly changed clinical management of prostate cancer. It is important for pathologists and urologists to compare RALP with conventional open radical ...
