Advances in Remote Sensing of Flooding
(2015-10)With the publication of eight original research articles, four types of advances in the remote sensing of floods are achieved. The uncertainty of modeled outputs using precipitation datasets derived from in situ observations ... -
Advancing research on racial-ethnic health disparities: Improving measurement equivalence in studies with diverse samples
(2014)To conduct meaningful, epidemiologic research on racial-ethnic health disparities, racial-ethnic samples must be rendered equivalent on other social status and contextual variables via statistical controls of those extraneous ... -
Affected Experiencers
(2012-08-21)Numerous languages permit an NP that is not selected by the verb to be added to a clause, with several different possible interpretations. We divide such non-selected arguments into possessor, benefactive, attitude holder, ... -
Ages and Stages Questionnaire: a global screening scale | Ages and Stages Questionnaire: una escala de evaluación global
(2017-01-30)Abstract With standardized screening tools, research studies have shown that developmental disabilities can be detected reliably and with validity in children as young as 4 months of age by using the instruments such as ... -
Airway observations during upper endoscopy predicting obstructive sleep apnea
(2016-06-10)Background This pilot study examined airway characteristics during upper endoscopy to determine who is at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Methods Patients undergoing routine upper endoscopy were divided into 2 ... -
Akhenaten’s Amarna in New Kingdom Egypt: Relations of Landscape and Ideology
(2016-08)a few years after Pharaoh amenophis iV (ruled ca.1353– 1337 in the Eighteenth dynasty during new Kingdom Egypt) had assumed the highest office in Thebes, he decided to radically reorganize and redirect the Egyptian political ... -
The AKT inhibitor MK-2206 is cytotoxic in hepatocarcinoma cells displaying hyperphosphorylated AKT-1 and synergizes with conventional chemotherapy
(2013-08-24)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common potentially lethal human malignancies worldwide. Advanced or recurrent HCC is frequently resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. Therefore, ... -
All's well that begins Wells: Celebrating 60 years of Animal Behaviour and 36 years of research on anuran social behaviour
(2012-12-04)The scientific study of frogs and toads as important systems in behavioural ecology traces its roots to an influential review published in this journal 36 years ago (Wells 1977a, ‘The social behaviour of anuran amphibians’, ... -
Alternative splicing of UCP1 by non-cell-autonomous action of PEMT
(2019-11-08)Phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) generates phosphatidylcholine (PC), the most abundant phospholipid in the mitochondria and an important acyl chain donor for cardiolipin (CL) biosynthesis. Mice lacking ... -
Anaerobic utilization of Fe(III)-xenosiderophores among Bacteroides species and the distinct assimilation of Fe(III)- ferrichrome by Bacteroides fragilis within the genus
(2017-08)In this study, we show that Bacteroides species utilize Fe(III)-xenosiderophores as the only source of exogenous iron to support growth under iron-limiting conditions in vitro anaerobically. Bacteroides fragilis was the ... -
Analysis of the B-RAFV600E mutation in cutaneous melanoma patients with occupational sun exposure
(2014)Sun-exposure is one of the risk factors associated with the development of a cutaneous neoplasm. In melanoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK (MAPK) signaling pathway is constitutively activated through multiple mechanisms, including ... -
