Backscattering modeling of wheat using vector radiative transfer theory
(2015-04-21)
A microwave backscattering model of winter wheat based on the vector radiative transfer theory has been established. The model focused on the distribution of wheat ears that are directly related to the yield. In addition, ...
Disseminated superficial porokeratosis involving the groin and genitalia in a 72-year-old immunocompetent man
(2015-09)
The porokeratoses are a group of disorders of
abnormal epidermal keratinization resulting in the
characteristic histologic feature of the cornoid
lamella. Several clinical variants of porokeratosis
exist, which are ...
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the Academic Library: A Methodology for Mapping Multiple Means of Representation in Library Tutorials
(2015)
Librarians designed a biology tutorial not only to address an assignment, but also to make tutorials more accessible to students with various learning styles. The Science Librarian created the content by using aspects of ...
Inhibition of Autoimmune Diabetes in NOD Mice by miRNA Therapy.
(2015)
Autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic islets in Type 1 diabetes is mediated by both increased proinflammatory (Teff) and decreased regulatory (Treg) T lymphocytes resulting in a significant decrease in the Treg:Teff ...
Murine Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Reduces Ikaros Expression and Disrupts T Cell Homeostasis
(2015-01-28)
Background
Maintenance of T cell immune homeostasis is critical for adequate anti-tumor immunity. The transcription factor Ikaros is essential for lymphocyte development including T cells. Alterations in Ikaros expression ...
Trans-Amazon Drilling Project (TADP): origins and evolution of the forests, climate, and hydrology of the South American tropics
(2015)
This article presents the scientific rationale for an ambitious ICDP drilling project to continuously sample Late Cretaceous to modern sediment in four different sedimentary basins that transect the equatorial Amazon of ...
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015)
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
Uptake of and resistance to the antibiotic berberine by individual dormant, germinating and outgrowing bacillus spores as monitored by laser tweezers raman spectroscopy
(2015-12-04)
Berberine, an alkaloid originally extracted from the plant Coptis chinensis and other herb
plants, has been used as a pharmacological substance for many years. The therapeutic
effect of berberine has been attributed to ...
Trends in Dengue Cases Imported into the United States from Pan America 2001–2012
(2015)
The objective of this study was to improve risk assessments of travel on dengue (DEN) virus (DENV) distribution. We investigated the
exposure risk of US citizens traveling to DEN-endemic Pan American countries. The number ...
