TOXIFY: a deep learning approach to classify animal venom proteins
(2019-06-28)
In the era of Next-Generation Sequencing and shotgun proteomics, the sequences
of animal toxigenic proteins are being generated at rates exceeding the pace of
traditional means for empirical toxicity verification. To ...
Mitsui-7, heat-treated, and nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes elicit genotoxicity in human lung epithelial cells.
(2019-10-07)
Background:
The unique physicochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have led to many industrial applications. Due to their low density and small size, MWCNT are easily aerosolized in the workplace ...
Kinetics and Identities of Extracellular Peptidases in Subsurface Sediments of the White Oak River Estuary, North Carolina
(2019-09-17)
Anoxic subsurface sediments contain communities of heterotrophic microorganisms that metabolize organic carbon at extraordinarily low rates. In order to assess the mechanisms by which subsurface microorganisms access ...
Mitochondrial PE potentiates respiratory enzymes to amplify skeletal muscle aerobic capacity
(2019-09-11)
Exercise capacity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity, its biggest contributor, adapts robustly to changes in energy demands induced by contractile activity. ...
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 ...
Interventions to improve sarcopenia in cirrhosis: A systematic review
(2019-01-26)
BACKGROUND:
Sarcopenia, i.e., muscle loss is now a well-recognized complication of cirrhosis and in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can contribute to accelerate liver fibrosis leading to cirrhosis. Hence, it ...
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stages
(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, ...
Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviors Regarding Fruits and Vegetables among Cost-Offset Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) Applicants, Purchasers, and a Comparison Sample
(2019-12-06)
Data were collected in August, amid the summer CSA season, when shares include many of the summer FV preferred by low-income caregivers and their children [33], which may have contributed to the magnitude of the differences ...
Means and Long-Term Trends of Global Coastal Zone Precipitation
(2019-04-01)
Precipitation in the coastal zone is important to the socio-economic and ecological well-being of the world. Meteorologically, precipitation is generated by unique mechanisms at the land-sea interface, which is why coastal ...
Measurement of Oral Epithelial Thickness by Optical Coherence Tomography
(2019-08-06)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real-time, in-situ, non-invasive imaging device
that is able to perform a cross-sectional evaluation of tissue microstructure based on the specific
intensity of back-scattered and ...
