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 ...
Fungal-Host Interaction: Curcumin Modulates Proteolytic Enzyme Activity of Candida albicans and Inflammatory Host Response In Vitro
(2018-08-15)
Current treatments for Candida albicans infection are limited due to the limited number of antifungal drugs available and the increase in antifungal resistance. Curcumin is used as a spice, food preservative, flavoring, ...
FUSTr: a tool to find gene families under selection in transcriptomes
(2018-01-17)
Background. The recent proliferation of large amounts of biodiversity transcriptomic
data has resulted in an ever-expanding need for scalable and user-friendly tools capable
of answering large scale molecular evolution ...
The Moderating Effect of Employee Political Skill on the Link between Perceptions of a Victimizing Work Environment and Job Performance
(2017-05-30)
Research has generally revealed only a weak link, if any at all, between victimization- related experiences and job performance. Drawing on the commonly used conservation of resources perspective, we argue that such ...
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 ...
TRANSFORM (Multicenter Experience With Rapid Deployment Edwards INTUITY Valve System for Aortic Valve Replacement) US clinical trial: Performance of a rapid deployment aortic valve
(2017-02)
Background: The TRANSFORM (Multicenter Experience With Rapid Deployment Edwards INTUITY Valve System for Aortic Valve Replacement) trial (NCT01700439) evaluated the performance of the INTUITY rapid deployment aortic valve ...
The net effects of medical malpractice tort reform on health insurance losses: the Texas experience
(2017-11-24)
In this paper, we examine the influence of medical malpractice tort reform on the level of private health insurance company losses incurred. We employ a natural experiment framework centered on a series of tort reform ...
The Efficacy of Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) Antivenom Versus Placebo Plus Optional Rescue Therapy on Recovery From Copperhead Snake Envenomation: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Trial
(2017-08)
Study objective: Copperhead snake (Agkistrodon contortrix) envenomation causes limb injury resulting in pain and disability. It is not known whether antivenom administration improves limb function. We determine whether ...
A Sparsity-Based InSAR Phase Denoising Algorithm Using Nonlocal Wavelet Shrinkage
(2016-10-10)
An interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) phase denoising algorithm using the local sparsity of wavelet coefficients and nonlocal similarity of grouped blocks was developed. From the Bayesian perspective, the ...
