Simulating and quantifying legacy topographic data uncertainty: an initial step to advancing topographic change analyses
(2017-10)Rapid technological advances, sustained funding, and a greater recognition of the value of topographic data have helped develop an increasing archive of topographic data sources. Advances in basic and applied research ... -
A single dose of trichloroethylene given during development does not substantially alter markers of neuroinflammation in brains of adult mice
(2017-04-03)Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widespread environmental contaminant associated with developmental immu- notoxicity and neurotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that MRLþ/þ mice exposed to TCE from gesta- tion through ... -
Single incision laparoscopic ventral hernia repair
(2011)Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVH) requires several skin incisions for trocar placement. We have developed a single incision approach to LVH repair. The technique was introduced in clinical ... -
Single-cell analysis reveals individual spore responses to simulated space vacuum
(2018-12-04)Outer space is a challenging environment for all forms of life, and dormant spores of bacteria have been frequently used to study the survival of terrestrial life in a space journey. Previous work showed that outer space ... -
a single-institution analysis of 126 Patients Treated with stereotactic radiosurgery for Brain Metastases
(2017-05-12)Background: The objective of this study was to report our institutional experience with Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery (GKRS) in the treatment of patients with brain metastases. Methods: Retrospectively collected demographic ... -
Single-institution comparative study on the outcomes of salvage cryotherapy versus salvage robotic prostatectomy for radio-resistant prostate cancer
(2015)Background Although primary treatment of localized prostate cancer provides excellent oncologic control, some men who chose radiotherapy experience a recurrence of disease. There is no consensus on the most appropriate ... -
Small RNA Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Roles of MicroRNAs in the Development of Meloidogyne incognita
(2019-11-02)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs. Knowing the specific expression and functions of miRNAs during root-knot nematode (RKN) (Meloidogyne incognita) development could provide fundamental ... -
Smoking and dietary inadequacy among Inuvialuit women of child bearing age in the Northwest Territories, Canada
(2013-02-22)The prevalence of smoking in Aboriginal Canadians is higher than non-Aboriginal Canadians, a behavior that also tends to alter dietary patterns. Compared with the general Canadian population, maternal smoking rates are ... -
Smooth wavelet approximations of truncated Legendre polynomials via the Jacobi theta function
(2014-10-16)The family of nth order q-Legendre polynomials are introduced. They are shown to be obtainable from the Jacobi theta function and to satisfy recursion relations and multiplicatively advanced differential equations (MADEs) ... -
Social Capital and Risk of Concurrent Sexual Partners Among African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi
(2019-12-28)Concurrent sexual partnerships (i.e., relationships that overlap in time) contribute to higher HIV acquisition risk. Social capital, defned as resources and connections available to individuals is hypothesized to reduce ... -
Social media guidelines and best practices - Recommendations from the council of residency directors (cord) social media taskforce
(2013-07-02)Social media has become a staple of everyday life among over one billion people worldwide. A social networking presence has become a hallmark of vibrant and transparent communications. It has quickly become the preferred ... -
Software for objective comparison of vocal acoustic features over weeks of audio recording: KLFromRecordingDays
(2017-10)KLFromRecordingDays allows measurement of Kullback–Leibler (KL) distances between 2D probability distributions of vocal acoustic features. Greater KL distance measures reflect increased phonological divergence across the ... -
Sorbus alnifolia protects dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2017-01)Context: The twigs of Sorbus alnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) K. Koch (Rosaceae) have been used to treat neuro- logical disorders as a traditional medicine in Korea. However, there are limited data describing the efficacy of S. ... -
Spargel/dPGC-1 is essential for oogenesis and nutrient-mediated ovarian growth in Drosophila
(2019-06-25)Dietary proteins are crucial for oogenesis. The Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a major nutrient sensor controlling organismal growth and fertility, but the downstream effectors of TOR signaling remain largely uncharacterized. ... -
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 ... -
Spatial and temporal translational control of germ cell mRNAs mediated by the eIF4E isoform IFE-1
(2015)Regulated mRNA translation is vital for germ cells to produce new proteins in the spatial and temporal patterns that drive gamete development. Translational control involves the de-repression of stored mRNAs and their ... -
Specialized High‐Protein Oral Nutrition Supplement Improves Home Nutrient Intake of Malnourished Older Adults Without Decreasing Usual Food Intake
(2018-11-22)Background: Reduced nutrient intake is common in patients after hospitalization, contributing to increased risk for readmissionand mortality. Oral nutrition supplements can improve nutrition status and clinical outcomes, ... -
Species-Specific Conservation of Linear Antigenic Sites on Vaccinia Virus A27 Protein Homologs of Orthopoxviruses
(2019-05-29)The vaccinia virus (VACV) A27 protein and its homologs, which are found in a large number of members of the genus Orthopoxvirus (OPXV), are targets of viral neutralization by host antibodies. We have mapped six binding ... -
Spindle-cell sarcoma of the heart: A rare cause for a cardiac mass
(2012)Primary cardiac tumors are rare and are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage due to nonspecific symptoms. We report a 46-year-old female who presented to our institution with shortness of breath and was diagnosed with a ... -
