Circular Single-Stranded DNA Virus (Microviridae: Gokushovirinae: Jodiemicrovirus) Associated with the Pathobiome of the Flat-Back Mud Crab, Eurypanopeus depressus
(2019-11-21)A single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) virus is presented from a metagenomic data set derived from Alphaproteobacteria-infected hepatopancreatic tissues of the crab Eurypanopeus depressus. The circular virus genome (4,768 bp) encodes ... -
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stagest
(2019-12-05)Nearly all aquatic ecosystems are affected by sublethal levels of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but other agents of large‐scale anthropogenic disruption of ecosystems have received more attention. Consequently, ... -
Differential gene expression and gene variants drive color and pattern development in divergent color morphs of a mimetic poison frog
(2019-07-21)Evolutionary biologists have long investigated the ecological contexts, evolutionary forces, and proximate mechanisms that produce the diversity of animal coloration we see in the natural world. In aposematic species, color ... -
Customer Reviews Analysis With Deep Neural Networks for E-Commerce Recommender Systems
(2019-08-26)An essential prerequisite of an effective recommender system is providing helpful information regarding users and items to generate high-quality recommendations. Written customer review is a rich source of information ... -
MELPF Version 1: Modeling Error Learning Based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ... -
Construction of realistic hybrid computational fetal phantoms from radiological images in three gestational ages for radiation dosimetry applications
(2019-10-10)Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for pregnant patients who undergo radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging procedures. In order to accurately estimate the radiation ... -
Imaging of morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis with optimized optogenetic tools
(2019-10-03)Creation of optogenetic switches for specific activation of cell death pathways can provide insights into apoptosis and could also form a basis for noninvasive, next-generation therapeutic strategies. Previous work has ... -
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-12)High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ... -
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ... -
An endemic plant and the plant-insect visitor network of a dune ecosystem
(2019-04)Network theory increasingly is used to quantify and evaluate mutualistic interactions, such as those among plants and their flower-visiting insects or pollinators. Some plant species have been shown to be important in ... -

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 ... -
Angioedema after thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator: An airway emergency.
(2019-01-19)Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin resulting in fibrinolysis, is used for the treatment of acute ischemic strokes. The use of this medication ... -
N6-methyladenosine contributes to cellular phenotype in a genetically-defined model of breast cancer progression
(2018-07-27)The mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in many post-transcriptional regulatory processes including mRNA stability and translational efficiency. However, it is also imperative to correlate these processes ... -
Emerging role of immune checkpoint blockade in pancreatic cancer
(2018-11-07)Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with programmed cell death protein-1(PD-1)/programmed death ligand -1(PD-L1) antibodies has revolutionized the management of several cancers, especially non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, ... -
TNM cancer staging: can it help develop a novel staging system for type 2 diabetes?
(2018-11-28)Type 2 diabetes (DM2) constitutes 90%–95% of the diabetes cases and is increasing at an alarming rate in the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 29 million people in the ... -
Lack of complex type N-glycans lessens aberrant neuronal properties
(2018-06)Modifications in surface glycans attached to proteins via N-acetylglucosamine-β1-Nasparagine linkage have been linked to tumor development and progression. These modifications include complex N-glycans with high levels of ...
