Genome-wide functional analysis of the cotton transcriptome by creating an integrated EST database
(2011-11-08)A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ... -
Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Class III Peroxidases in Allotetraploid Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and their Responses to PK Deficiency
(2019-06-21)Class III peroxidases (PODs), commonly known as secretable class III plant peroxidases, are plant-specific enzymes that play critical roles in not only plant growth and development but also the responses to biotic and ... -
Genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP gene superfamily in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and expression profiling analysis under temperature stress
(2019-02)Heat shock proteins (HSP) are essential molecular chaperones that play important roles in the stress stimulation of insects. Bemisia tabaci, a phloem feeder and invasive species, can cause extensive crop damage through ... -
Geometry of the universe and its relation to entropy and information
(2013-09-16)In an effort to investigate a possible relation between geometry and information, we establish a relation of the Ricci scalar in the Robertson-Walker metric of the cosmological Friedmann model to the number of information ... -
Glaucomatous optic disc changes despite normal baseline intraocular pressure in a child
(2018-12-14)Purpose: We describe a case of normal tension glaucoma in the setting of sickle cell disease in a 9-year-old patient with a five-year follow up. Observations: A 9-year-old male patient with a history of sickle cell ... -
Global redox proteome and phosphoproteome analysis reveals redox switch in Akt
(2019-12-02)Protein oxidation sits at the intersection of multiple signalling pathways, yet the magnitude and extent of crosstalk between oxidation and other post-translational modifications remains unclear. Here, we delineate global ... -
Glycan Structures Contain Information for the Spatial Arrangement of Glycoproteins in the Plasma Membrane
(2013-09-06)Glycoconjugates at the cell surface are crucial for cells to communicate with each other and the extracellular microenvironment. While it is generally accepted that glycans are vectorial biopolymers, their information ... -
The "Goldilocks Zone" from a redox perspective-Adaptive vs. deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle
(2014-09-18)Consequences of oxidative stress may be beneficial or detrimental in physiological systems. An organ system's position on the “hormetic curve” is governed by the source and temporality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ... -
Ground state modulations in the CP N−1 model
(2019-10-16)In this work we examine a system consisting of a confined one-dimensional arrangement of atoms that we describe by using the 2-dimensional CPN−1 model, restricted to an interval and at finite temperature. We develop a ... -
Groundwater discharge to the western Antarctic coastal ocean
(2019)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) measurements have been limited along the Antarctic coast, although groundwater discharge is becoming recognized as an important process in the Antarctic. Quantifying ... -
Habitat and scale shape the demographic fate of the keystone sea urchin paracentrotus lividus in mediterranean macrophyte communities
(2012-04-20)Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population at a particular ... -
Harnessing the PI3K/Akt/mtor pathway in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Eliminating activity by targeting at different levels
(2012-08-09)T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignant hematological disorder arising in the thymus from T-cell progenitors. T-ALL mainly affects children and young adults, and remains fatal in 20% of ... -
Health and Occupational Injury Experienced by Latinx Child Farmworkers in North Carolina, USA
(2019-12-30)Children as young as 10 years old are hired to work on farms in the United States (U.S.). These children are largely Latinx. Using interview data collected from 202 North Carolina Latinx child farmworkers in 2017, this ... -
The Health Education Research Experience (HERE) program metadata dataset
(2020-01-17)Undergraduate subject pools are prevalent across disciplines in the United States. The Health Education Research Experience (HERE) Program was the first known course-based subject pool entirely managed and conducted online ... -
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-01)The specific health effects of direct inhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contri- bution ... -
Health effects from exposure to atmospheric mineral dust near Las Vegas, NV, USA
(2016-09)Desert areas are usually characterized by a continuous deposition of fine airborne particles. Over time, this process results in the accumulation of silt and clay on desert surfaces. We evaluated health effects associated ... -
Healthcare interprofessional team members' perspectives on human caring: A directed content analysis study
(2019-01-10)Objectives: As Watson's Human Caring Theory continues to evolve and guide the discipline of nursing, the challenge is to find ways to integrate it into practice. The purpose of this study is to describe interprofessional ... -
Healthcare providers’ experiences screening for intimate partner violence among migrant and seasonal farmworking women: A phenomenological study
(2015-10-06)Background Migrant and seasonal farmworking (MSFW) women patients experience substantially more intimate partner violence (IPV) than the general population, but few health-care providers screen patients for IPV. While ... -
