A transcriptional regulatory network of Rsv3- mediated extreme resistance against Soybean mosaic virus
(PLOS, 2020-04-21)Resistance genes are an effective means for disease control in plants. They predominantly function by inducing a hypersensitive reaction, which results in localized cell death restricting pathogen spread. Some resistance ... -
Eagle Syndrome: A Rare Case of Atraumatic, Painful Cervical Neck Swelling
(Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020-04-23)Introduction: Painful neck swelling is a common emergency complaint but can present diagnostic challenges. Eagle syndrome is a rare clinical entity in which a pathologically elongated styloid process or ossified stylohyoid ... -
Dietary and Biological Assessment of the Omega-3 Status of Collegiate Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
(PLOS, 2020-04-29)Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA) are associated with cardiovascular health, brain function, reduction of inflammation, and several other physiological roles of importance to competitive athletes. The ω-3 FA status of National ... -
Pleural lipomatosis: An often-forgotten intrathoracic tumor
(Elsevier, 2020-04-30)Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms that arise from adipocytes. Most lipomas are found in the subcutaneous tissue; however, they can be present throughout the body. Lipomas arising from the thoracic pleura are ... -
The meaning(s) of place: Identifying the structure of sense of place across a social–ecological landscape
(Wiley, 2020-05-04)1. Sense of place holds promise to understand how people perceive and respond to social and ecological change; however, using this concept to explore vulnerability and adaptation first depends on identifying the multiple ... -
Soybean Amino Acids in Health, Genetics, and Evaluation
(IntechOpen, 2019)Soybean is an important source of protein and amino acids for humans and livestock because of its well-balanced amino acid profile. This chapter outlines the strengths and weaknesses of soybean as a complete amino acid ... -
BICORN: An R package for integrative inference of de novo cisregulatory modules
(Springer Nature, 2020-05-14)Genome-wide transcription factor (TF) binding signal analyses reveal co-localization of TF binding sites based on inferred cis-regulatory modules (CRMs). CRMs play a key role in understanding the cooperation of multiple ... -
Host exposure history modulates the within-host advantage of virulence in a songbird-bacterium system
(Springer Nature, 2019)The host immune response can exert strong selective pressure on pathogen virulence, particularly when host protection against reinfection is incomplete. Since emerging in house finch populations, the bacterial pathogen ... -
Spatio-temporal analysis of rainfall extremes in the flood-prone Nagavali and Vamsadhara Basins in eastern India
(Elsevier, 2020-05-29)Understanding the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall characteristics has a major role in assessing the availability of water resources over a catchment. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the changes in rainfall ... -
Effects of Chikungunya virus immunity on Mayaro virus disease and epidemic potential
(Springer Nature, 2019)Mayaro virus (MAYV) causes an acute febrile illness similar to that produced by chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an evolutionary relative in the Semliki Forest virus complex of alphaviruses. MAYV emergence is typically sporadic, ... -
A case series of endemic infections associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) mimicking severe sepsis syndrome
(Elsevier, 2019-05-06)Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is associated to high mortality and morbidity. A condition often underrecognized, HLH should be in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with fever, cytopenia, ... -
The evolution and role of the hyposphene-hypantrum articulation in Archosauria: phylogeny, size and/or mechanics?
(Royal Society, 2019-08-22)Living members of Archosauria, the reptile clade containing Crocodylia and Aves, have a wide range of skeletal morphologies, ecologies and body size. The range of body size greatly increases when extinct archosaurs are ... -
Lamb performance in hardwood silvopastures, I: animal gains and forage measures in summer
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09-13)The integration of trees into pasture systems can have variable effects on forage and animal growth. Some reports of these systems have indicated that animal gains are similar or better even when tree presence lowers forage ... -
Exploring optimization strategies for improving explicit water models: Rigid n-point model and polarizable model based on Drude oscillator
(PLOS, 2019-11-14)Rigid n-point water models are widely used in atomistic simulations, but have known accuracy drawbacks. Increasing the number of point charges, as well as adding electronic polarizability, are two common strategies for ... -
Scalable nanolaminated SERS multiwell cell culture assay
(Springer Nature, 2020)This paper presents a new cell culture platform enabling label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis of biological samples. The platform integrates a multilayered metal-insulator-metal nanolaminated SERS ... -
Concrete Microstructure Characterization and Performance
(IntechOpen, 2020)Microstructural characteristics such as the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and cracking patterns from compressive strength testing are main features that characterize concrete behavior. Certain materials such as blast ... -
Incubation Temperature Affects Duckling Body Size and Food Consumption Despite No Effect on Associated Feeding Behaviors
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Developmental conditions can have consequences for offspring fitness. For example, small changes (<1°C) in average avian incubation temperature have large effects on important post-hatch offspring phenotypes, including ... -
Soybean Production, Versatility, and Improvement
(IntechOpen, 2020)Soybean is one of the most widely planted and used legumes in the world due to its valuable seed composition. The many significant agronomic practices that are utilized in soybean production are highlighted with an emphasis ... -
Low-dose 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE) exposure exacerbates lupus renal disease and modulates immune responses to TLR7/9 agonists in genetically autoimmune-prone mice
(Springer Nature, 2020)Estrogens have been shown to regulate the immune system and modulate multiple autoimmune diseases. 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE), a synthetic analog of 17β-estradiol, is prescribed commonly and found in oral contraceptives ... -
