Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
(2018-10-16)
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches, namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
Applicability of Precision Medicine Approaches to Managing Hypertension in Rural Populations
(2018-04-30)
As part of the Heart Healthy Lenoir Project, we developed a practice level intervention to improve blood pressure control. The goal of this study was: (i) to determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate ...
Wetland management strategies lead to tradeoffs in ecological structure and function
(2018-02-06)
Anthropogenic legacy effects often occur as a consequence of land use change or land management and can leave behind long-lasting changes to ecosystem structure and function. This legacy is described as a memory in the ...
Bilaterally Combined Electric and Acoustic Hearing in Mandarin-Speaking Listeners: The Population With Poor Residual Hearing
(2018-01-16)
The hearing loss criterion for cochlear implant candidacy in mainland China is extremely stringent (bilateral severe to
profound hearing loss), resulting in few patients with substantial residual hearing in the nonimplanted ...
Bias in meta-analyses using Hedges’ d
(2018-09-25)
The type of metric and weighting method used in meta-analysis can create bias and alter coverage of confidence intervals when the estimated effect size and its weight are correlated. Here, we investigate
bias associated ...
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)
The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ...
Cardiovascular disease-related miRNAs expression: potential role as biomarkers and effects of training exercise
(2018-03-30)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most important causes of mortality
worldwide, therefore the need of effective preventive strategies is imperative. Aging
is associated with significant changes in both ...
