Examining signals of trust in criminal markets online
(2016-09-14)
This study examines the signals of trust in stolen data advertisements by analysing the structural and situational factors that influence the type of feedback sellers receive. Specifically, this article explores the factors ...
Differential Post-Exercise Blood Pressure Responses between Blacks and Caucasians
(2016-04-13)
Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is widely observed in Caucasians (CA) and is associated with histamine receptors 1- and 2- (H1R and H2R) mediated post-exercise vasodilation. However, it appears that blacks (BL) may not ...
Effects of CO2 laser irradiation on matrix-rich biofilm development formation–an in vitro study
(2016-11-01)
Background: A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser has been used to morphologically and chemically modify the dental enamel surface as well as to make it more resistant to demineralization. Despite a variety of experiments demonstrating ...
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in a Single High-Volume Surgical Oncology Unit: Details Matter
(2016-08)
Benefits of ERAS protocol have been well documented; however, it is unclear whether the improvement stems from the protocol or shifts in expectations. Interdisciplinary educational seminars were conducted for all health ...
Does Land Degradation Increase Poverty in Developing Countries?
(2016-05-11)
Land degradation is a global problem that particularly impacts the poor rural inhabitants of low and middle-income countries. We improve upon existing literature by estimating the extent of rural populations in 2000 and ...
Functional and Comparative Genomics of Hoxa2 Gene cis-Regulatory Elements: Evidence for Evolutionary Modification of Ancestral Core Element Activity
(2016-03-26)
Hoxa2 is an evolutionarily conserved developmental regulatory gene that functions to specify rhombomere (r) and pharyngeal arch (PA) identities throughout the Osteichthyes. Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) hoxa2a, like ...
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for craniofacial microsomia
(2016-02-08)
Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a rare congenital anomaly that involves immature derivatives from the first and second pharyngeal arches. The genetic pathogenesis of CFM is still unclear. Here we interrogate 0.9 million ...
Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
(2016-03)
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
Gene Regulatory Evolution During Speciation in a Songbird
(2016-03-10)
Over the last decade, tremendous progress has been made toward a comparative un- derstanding of gene regulatory evolution. However, we know little about how gene regulation evolves in birds, and how divergent genomes ...
Acid ceramidase is upregulated in AML and represents a novel therapeutic target
(2016-12-13)
There is an urgent unmet need for new therapeutics in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as standard therapy has not changed in the past three decades and outcome remains poor for most patients. Sphingolipid dysregulation through ...
