A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)
Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ...
Applying Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership Principles to Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks
(2016)
With real-world relevance and translatability as important goals, applied methodological approaches have arisen along the
participatory continuum that value context and empower stakeholders to partner actively with academics ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
Predictors for Using a HIV Self-Test Among Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in North Carolina
(2015-07-17)
Background: Approximately, two million migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSF) work in the United States annually. Several factors, such as lack of access to healthcare services and health behaviors, contribute to risk of ...
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)
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 ...
The dicer-like1 Homolog fuzzy tassel Is Required for the Regulation of Meristem Determinacy in the Inflorescence and Vegetative Growth in Maize
(2014-12)
Plant architecture is determined by meristems that initiate leaves during vegetative development and flowers during reproductive development. Maize (Zea mays) inflorescences are patterned by a series of branching events, ...
College Men and Women and Their Intent to Receive Genital Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
(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 ...
Improving Low-Relief Coastal LiDAR DEMs with Hydro-Conditioning of Fine-Scale and Artificial Drainages
(2015-11-23)
Improvements in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and spatial analysis of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) have advanced the accuracy and diversity of applications for coastal hazards and natural ...
