The potential role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in image-guided radiotherapy
(2014-05-04)
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique to detect metabolites within the normal and tumoral tissues. The ability of MRS to diagnose areas of high metabolic activity linked to tumor cell proliferation ...
The evolution of land plants: A perspective from horizontal gene transfer
(2014-12-04)
Recent studies suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) played a significant role in the evolution of eukaryotic lineages. We here review the mechanisms of HGT in plants and the importance of HGT in land plant evolution. ...
Using geometry to select one dimensional exponential families that are monotone likelihood ratio in the sample space, are weakly unimodal and can be parametrized by a measure of central tendency
(2014-07-18)
One dimensional exponential families on finite sample spaces are studied using the geometry of the simplex Δn°-1 and that of a transformation Vn-1 of its interior. This transformation is the natural parameter space ...
Transforming Pedagogies: Integrating 21st Century Skills And Web 2.0 Technology
(2014-03)
According to (P21), Partnership for 21st Century Skills (n.d.), unless the gap is bridged between how students learn and how they live, today’s education system will face irrelevance. The way people work and live has been ...
One-Year Follow-Up Examination of the Impact of the North Carolina Healthy Food Small Retailer Program on Healthy Food Availability, Purchases, and Consumption
(2018-11-28)
We examined the short-term impact of the North Carolina Healthy Food Small Retailer Program (HFSRP), a legislatively appropriated bill providing funding up to $25,000 to small food retailers for equipment to stock and ...
Pain Coping Skills Training for African Americans With Osteoarthritis Study: Baseline Participant Characteristics and Comparison to Prior Studies
(2018-09-19)
Background: The Pain Coping Skills Training for African Americans with OsteoaRTthritis (STAART) trial is examining the effectiveness of a culturally enhanced pain coping skills training (CST) program for African Americans ...
The EBM-DPSER Conceptual Model: Integrating Ecosystem Services into the DPSIR Framework
(2013-08)
There is a pressing need to integrate biophysical and human dimensions science to better inform holistic ecosystem management supporting the transition from single species or single-sector management to multi-sector ...
The Dopamine D3 Receptor Knockout Mouse Mimics Aging-Related Changes in Autonomic Function and Cardiac Fibrosis
(2013-08-30)
Blood pressure increases with age, and dysfunction of the dopamine D3 receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension. To evaluate the role of the D3 receptor in aging-related hypertension, we assessed ...
Patterning of Paternal Investment in Response to Socioecological Change
(2018-10-17)
Human paternal investment, and that of many other species, is facultatively expressed and dependent on a diverse array of individual, social, and ecological conditions. Well-documented are the various ways in which men ...
Palmitate-induced ER stress and inhibition of protein synthesis in cultured myotubes does not require Toll-like receptor 4
(2018-01-12)
Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitate, are elevated in metabolically dysfunctional condi- tions like type 2 diabetes mellitus. Palmitate has been shown to impair insulin sensitivity and suppress protein synthesis while ...
