Assessment of groundwater quality is vital for the sustainable safe use of this inimitable
resource. However, describing the overall groundwater quality condition—particularly in a mining
basin—is more complicated due ...
Art Images in Holistic Nursing Education
(2017-05-25)
Background: Nursing research has concentrated on empirical knowing with little focus on aesthetic knowing. Evidence from the literature suggests that using visual art in nursing education enhances both clinical observation ...
Comprehensive track-structure based evaluation of DNA damage by light ions from radiotherapy- relevant energies down to stopping
(2017-03-27)
Track structures and resulting DNA damage in human cells have been simulated for hydrogen, helium,
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon ions with 0.25–256 MeV/u energy. The needed ion interaction cross sections have been ...
Contextual tumor suppressor function of T cell death-associated gene 8 (TDAG8) in hematological malignancies
(2017-12)
Background: Extracellular acidosis is a condition found within the tumor microenvironment due to inadequate blood perfusion, hypoxia, and altered tumor cell metabolism. Acidosis has pleiotropic effects on malignant progres‐ ...

Changes in zooplankton community, and seston and zooplankton fatty acid profiles at the freshwater/saltwater interface of the Chowan River, North Carolina
(2017-08-16)
The variability in zooplankton fatty acid composition may be an indicator of larval fish habitat quality as fatty acids are linked to fish larval growth and survival. We sampled an anadromous fish nursery, the Chowan River, ...
Bevacizumab in the treatment of NSCLC: patient selection and perspectives
(2017-12-14)
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents about 85% of all lung cancers, and more than half of NSCLCs are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Chemotherapy has reached a plateau in the overall survival curve of about 10 ...
