(2017-10)
This article reviews a range of tribal policies regarding the proper solicitation, collection, disposition, andreturn or disposal of biological samples, or biospecimens, which include not only the sample itself but alsodata, ...
Central Santa Catarina coastal dunefields chronology and their relation to relative sea level and climatic changes
(2015)
During the past decades, there have been contrarian explanations for the formation and stabilization of coastal dunefields: while many authors believe the dunes formation would be enhanced by falling sea level, others argue ...
Complementary Therapies for Significant Dysfunction from Tinnitus: Treatment Review and Potential for Integrative Medicin
(2015)
Tinnitus is a prevalent and costly chronic condition; no universally effective treatment exists. Only 20% of patients who report tinnitus actually seek treatment, and when treated, most patients commonly receive sound-based ...
Development of a robust nonlinear pitch angle controller for a redesigned 5MW wind turbine blade tip
(2019-01-23)
Power in wind turbines are traditionally controlled by varying the pitch angle at high wind speeds in region 3 of the wind turbine operation. The pitch angles controllers are normally driven by electrical or hydraulic ...
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-10-10)
High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ...

(2019-01-03)
To explore the possibility of applying organic-solvent drawing technique to accomplish a process of industrial significance, continuous drawing of as-spun PET fibers in ethanol was performed. The formation of multiple ...
Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)
Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation,
for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis,
referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ...
Inhibition of Autoimmune Diabetes in NOD Mice by miRNA Therapy.
(2015)
Autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic islets in Type 1 diabetes is mediated by both increased proinflammatory (Teff) and decreased regulatory (Treg) T lymphocytes resulting in a significant decrease in the Treg:Teff ...
Murine Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Reduces Ikaros Expression and Disrupts T Cell Homeostasis
(2015-01-28)
Background
Maintenance of T cell immune homeostasis is critical for adequate anti-tumor immunity. The transcription factor Ikaros is essential for lymphocyte development including T cells. Alterations in Ikaros expression ...
