Near-infrared spectroscopy detects age-related differences in skeletal muscle oxidative function: promising implications for geroscience
(2018-02)
Age is the greatest risk factor for chronic disease and is associated with a marked decline in functional capacity and quality of life. A key factor contributing to loss of function in older adults is the decline in skeletal ...
Sexually Dimorphic Venom Proteins in Long-Jawed Orb-Weaving Spiders ( Tetragnatha) Comprise Novel Gene Families
(2018-06-01)
Venom has been associated with the ecological success of many groups of organisms, most notably reptiles, gastropods, and arachnids. In some cases, diversification has been directly linked to tailoring of venoms for dietary ...
Single-cell analysis reveals individual spore responses to simulated space vacuum
(2018-12-04)
Outer space is a challenging environment for all forms of life, and dormant spores of bacteria have been frequently used to study the survival of terrestrial life in a space journey. Previous work showed that outer space ...
Sensor Selection to Improve Estimates of Particulate Matter Concentration from a Low-Cost Network
(2018-09-08)
Deployment of low-cost sensors in the field is increasingly popular. However, each sensor requires on-site calibration to increase the accuracy of the measurements. We established a laboratory method, the Average Slope ...
Seasonal Changes of Extremes in Isolated and Mesoscale Precipitation for the Southeastern United States
(2018-08-09)
The association between instantaneous extreme precipitation and mesoscale organization over the southeastern United States is not well known. This study addresses whether isolated precipitation features have a distinct ...
Separation and Analysis of Aspirin and Metformin HCl Using Green Subcritical Water Chromatography
(2018-09-05)
Organic solvents are widely used in pharmaceutical and chemical industry for chromatographic separations. In recent years, subcritical water chromatography (SBWC) has shown ability in replacing hazardous organic solvents ...
Scholarly publishing depends on peer reviewers
(2018-03-29)
The peer-review crisis is posing a risk to the scholarly peer-reviewed journal system. Journals have to ask many potential peer reviewers to obtain a minimum acceptable number of peers accepting reviewing a manuscript. ...
Responding to Sea Level Rise: Does Short-Term Risk Reduction Inhibit Successful Long-Term Adaptation?
(2018-04-19)
Most existing coastal climate-adaptation planning processes, and the research supporting them, tightly focus on how to use land use planning, policy tools, and infrastructure spending to reduce risks from rising seas and ...
Proposing a Transactional Model of eHealth Literacy: Concept Analysis
(2018-10-02)
Background: Electronic health (eHealth) literacy was conceptualized in 2006 as the ability of internet users to locate, evaluate, and act upon web-based health information. Now, advances in eHealth technology have cultivated ...
protaTETHER - A Method for the Incorporation of Variable Linkers in Protein Fusions Reveals Impacts of Linker Flexibility in a PKAc-GFP Fusion Protein
(2018-04-25)
Protein fusions are of fundamental importance in the study of cellular biology and the elucidation of cell signaling pathways, and the importance of linkers for the proper function of protein fusions is well documented in ...
