Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4)
was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular
weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ...
Dehiscence and embolization of CorMatrix tricuspid valve replacement in the setting of infective endocarditis: a case report
(2018-01-31)
Background:
Due to increased morbidity and mortality, prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (IE) with dehiscence requires urgent intervention. Early identification and therapy may prevent embolization.
Case summary:
A ...
Cooccurrence of prey species alters the impact of predators on prey performance through multiple mechanisms
(2018-08-11)
When prey are differentially affected by intra and interspecific competition, the cooccurrence of multiple prey species alters the per capita availability of food for a particular prey species which could alter how prey ...
The Use of Trace Eyeblink Classical Conditioning to Assess Hippocampal Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
(2017-08-05)
Neonatal rats were administered a relatively high concentration of ethyl alcohol (11.9% v/v) during postnatal days 4-9, a time when the fetal brain undergoes rapid organizational change and is similar to accelerated brain ...
A Hydroclimatological Analysis of Precipitation in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna River Basin
(2018-09-29)
Understanding seasonal precipitation input into river basins is important for linking large-scale climate drivers with societal water resources and the occurrence of hydrologic hazards such as floods and riverbank erosion. ...
“Moving Toward Healthy”: Insights Into Food Choices of Mothers in Residential Recovery
(2016-11)
This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face- to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential ...
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2017-04)
Purpose Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifi- able. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduc- tion in the amount of body fat and a ...
Assessment of Occupational Noise Exposure among Groundskeepers in North Carolina Public Universities
(2016-05-12)
Groundskeepers may have increased risk to noise-induced hearing loss due to the performance of excessively noisy tasks. This study assessed the exposure of groundskeepers to noise in multiple universities and determined ...
A Micro-Thermal Sensor for Focal Therapy Applications
(2016-02-26)
There is an urgent need for sensors deployed during focal therapies to inform treatment planning and in vivo monitoring in thin tissues. Specifically, the measurement of thermal properties, cooling surface contact, tissue ...
A systematic mRNA control mechanism for germline stem cell homeostasis and cell fate specification
(2016-02)
Germline stem cells (GSCs) are the best understood adult stem cell types in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and have provided an important model system for studying stem cells and their cell fate in vivo, in mammals. ...
