(2016-02-05)
The study set out to investigate what influences the intentions of college students to get vaccinated against genital human papillomavirus (HPV). College men and women were surveyed to understand their intentions. Regression ...
Realistic optical cell modeling and diffraction imaging simulation for study of optical and morphological parameters of nucleus
(2016-01)
Coherent light scattering presents complex spatial patterns that depend on morphological and molecular features of biological cells. We present a numerical approach to establish realistic optical cell models for generating ...
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2016-12-22)
A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ...
Response and resilience of Spartina alterniflora to sudden dieback
(2016-08)
We measured an array of biophysical and spectral variables to evaluate the response and recovery of Spartina alterniflora to a sudden dieback event in spring and summer 2004 within a low marsh in coastal Virginia, USA. S. ...
Sarcoidosis activates diverse transcriptional programs in bronchoalveolar lavage cells
(2016-07)
Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most
commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in
bronchoalveolar ...

The Bee Microbiome: Impact on Bee Health and Model for Evolution and Ecology of Host-Microbe Interactions
(2016)
As pollinators, bees are cornerstones for terrestrial ecosystem stability and key components in agricultural productivity. All animals, including bees, are associated with a diverse community of microbes, commonly referred ...
