Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015)
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
Uptake of and resistance to the antibiotic berberine by individual dormant, germinating and outgrowing bacillus spores as monitored by laser tweezers raman spectroscopy
(2015-12-04)
Berberine, an alkaloid originally extracted from the plant Coptis chinensis and other herb
plants, has been used as a pharmacological substance for many years. The therapeutic
effect of berberine has been attributed to ...
Trends in Dengue Cases Imported into the United States from Pan America 2001–2012
(2015)
The objective of this study was to improve risk assessments of travel on dengue (DEN) virus (DENV) distribution. We investigated the
exposure risk of US citizens traveling to DEN-endemic Pan American countries. The number ...
WormGender – Open-Source Software for Automatic Caenorhabditis elegans Sex Ratio Measurement
(2015)
Fast and quantitative analysis of animal phenotypes is one of the major challenges of current biology. Here we report the WormGender open-source software, which is designed for
accurate quantification of sex ratio in ...
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the Academic Library: A Methodology for Mapping Multiple Means of Representation in Library Tutorials
(2015)
Librarians designed a biology tutorial not only to address an assignment, but also to make tutorials more accessible to students with various learning styles. The Science Librarian created the content by using aspects of ...
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 ...
Contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic adjustment in Halostachys caspica response to salt stress
(2015-09)
The mechanism by which plants cope with salt stress remains poorly understood. The goal of this study is to systematically investigate the contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic ...
Casimir Pistons with General Boundary Conditions
(2015)
In this work we analyze the Casimir energy and force for a scalar field endowed with general self-adjoint boundary conditions propagating in a higher dimensional piston configuration. The piston is constructed as a direct ...
