(2018-11-28)
We examined the short-term impact of the North Carolina Healthy Food Small Retailer Program (HFSRP), a legislatively appropriated bill providing funding up to $25,000 to small food retailers for equipment to stock and ...
Pain Coping Skills Training for African Americans With Osteoarthritis Study: Baseline Participant Characteristics and Comparison to Prior Studies
(2018-09-19)
Background: The Pain Coping Skills Training for African Americans with OsteoaRTthritis (STAART) trial is examining the effectiveness of a culturally enhanced pain coping skills training (CST) program for African Americans ...
Patterning of Paternal Investment in Response to Socioecological Change
(2018-10-17)
Human paternal investment, and that of many other species, is facultatively expressed and dependent on a diverse array of individual, social, and ecological conditions. Well-documented are the various ways in which men ...
Palmitate-induced ER stress and inhibition of protein synthesis in cultured myotubes does not require Toll-like receptor 4
(2018-01-12)
Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitate, are elevated in metabolically dysfunctional condi- tions like type 2 diabetes mellitus. Palmitate has been shown to impair insulin sensitivity and suppress protein synthesis while ...
Monitoring Rice Phenology Based on Backscattering Characteristics of Multi-Temporal RADARSAT-2 Datasets
(2018-02-23)
Accurate estimation and monitoring of rice phenology is necessary for the management and yield prediction of rice. The radar backscattering coefficient, one of the most direct and accessible parameters has been proved to ...
Sexually Dimorphic Venom Proteins in Long-Jawed Orb-Weaving Spiders ( Tetragnatha) Comprise Novel Gene Families
(2018-06-01)
Venom has been associated with the ecological success of many groups of organisms, most notably reptiles, gastropods, and arachnids. In some cases, diversification has been directly linked to tailoring of venoms for dietary ...
Single-cell analysis reveals individual spore responses to simulated space vacuum
(2018-12-04)
Outer space is a challenging environment for all forms of life, and dormant spores of bacteria have been frequently used to study the survival of terrestrial life in a space journey. Previous work showed that outer space ...
Pivotal Role of Adenosine Neurotransmission in Restless Legs Syndrome
(2018-01-08)
The symptomatology of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) includes periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS), dysesthesias, and hyperarousal. Alterations in the dopaminergic system, a presynaptic hyperdopaminergic state, seem ...
miRNA-23a/27a attenuates muscle atrophy and renal fibrosis through muscle-kidney crosstalk
(2018-03-26)
Background The treatment of muscle wasting is accompanied by benefits in other organs, possibly resulting from muscle– organ crosstalk. However, how the muscle communicates with these organs is less understood. Two microRNAs ...
Mitigation Effect of Waste Glass Powders on Alkali–Silica Reaction (ASR) Expansion in Cementitious Composite
(2018-11-20)
The effects of different contents and particle sizes of waste glass powder on alkali–silica reaction (ASR) expansion of cementitious composite bar were investigated in this study. Waste glass powder with particle size less ...
