Backbone Interactions Between Transcriptional Activator ExsA and Anti-Activator ExsD Facilitate Regulation of the Type III Secretion System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer Nature, 2020)The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a pivotal virulence mechanism of many Gram-negative bacteria. During infection, the syringe-like T3SS injects cytotoxic proteins directly into the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm. In ... -
Baicalein Protects against Type 2 Diabetes via Promoting Islet β-Cell Function in Obese Diabetic Mice.
(Hindawi, 2014)In both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the deterioration of glycemic control over time is primarily caused by an inadequate mass and progressive dysfunction of β-cell, leading to the impaired insulin secretion. ... -
Bark and wood tissues of American elm exhibit distinct responses to Dutch elm disease
(Nature, 2017-08-02)Tolerance to Dutch elm disease (DED) has been linked to the rapid and/or high induction of diseaseresponsive genes after infection with the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. Although the fungal infection by O. novo-ulmi primarily ... -
A Bayesian Analysis of Copy Number Variations in Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization Data
(OMICS International, 2015-09-25)Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been widely used for detecting genomic copy number variations (CNVs). The central goal of array CGH data analysis is to accurately detect homogeneous regions of log intensity ... -
A Bayesian approach to multivariate adaptive localization in ensemble-based data assimilation with time-dependent extensions
(Copernicus Publications, 2019-06-14)Ever since its inception, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has elicited many heuristic approaches that sought to improve it. One such method is covariance localization, which alleviates spurious correlations due to finite ... -
A Bayesian Assignment Method for Ambiguous Bisulfite Short Reads
(PLOS, 2016-03-24)DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification critical for normal development and diseases. The determination of genome-wide DNA methylation at single-nucleotide resolution is made possible by sequencing bisulfite treated ... -
Beef heifer fertility: importance of management practices and technological advancements
(2020-10-01)The development of replacement heifers is at the core of cow-calf beef production systems. In 2020, the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service reported 5.771 million beef heifers, 500 pounds and over, are under ... -
Begging behavior as an honest signal of need and parent– offspring association during the postfledging dependency period
(Wiley, 2019-04-30)Honest signaling mechanisms can function to appropriate care to hungry offspring and avoid misdirected care of unrelated offspring. Begging, the behavior by which offspring solicit food and parental care, may be an honest ... -
Beginning A Patient-Centered Approach in the Design of A Diabetes Prevention Program
(Mdpi Ag, 2014-02-01) -
The Betrayal Aversion Elicitation Task: An Individual Level Betrayal Aversion Measure
(PLOS, 2015-09-02)Research on betrayal aversion shows that individuals’ response to risk depends not only on probabilities and payoffs, but also on whether the risk includes a betrayal of trust. While previous studies focus on measuring ... -
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 ... -
Binding Interactions of Keratin-Based Hair Fiber Extract to Gold, Keratin, and BMP-2
(PLOS, 2015-08-28)Hair-derived keratin biomaterials composed mostly of reduced keratin proteins (kerateines) have demonstrated their utility as carriers of biologics and drugs for tissue engineering. Electrostatic forces between negatively-charged ... -
Binding of volatile aroma compounds to can linings with different polymeric characteristics
(Wiley, 2017)Flavor compounds have been shown to interact with packaging materials either by scalping, the movement of flavorings from the food product to the package, or by flavor release, movement of flavorings from the package to ... -
Biodegradable Poly(Lactic Acid) Nanocomposites for Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)3D printing by fused deposition modelling (FDM) enables rapid prototyping and fabrication of parts with complex geometries. Unfortunately, most materials suitable for FDM 3D printing are non-degradable, petroleum-based ... -
Bioinspired design of flexible armor based on chiton scales
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-10)Man-made armors often rely on rigid structures for mechanical protection, which typically results in a trade-off with flexibility and maneuverability. Chitons, a group of marine mollusks, evolved scaled armors that address ... -
Bioinspired Tracking Control of High Speed Nonholonomic Ground Vehicles
(Hindawi, 2015-10-04)The behavior of nature’s predators is considered for designing a high speed tracking controller for nonholonomic vehicles, whose dynamicsare represented using a unicycle model. To ensure that the vehicle behaves intuitively ... -
Biology and Management of Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Colonies
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Varroa mite (Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman) infestation of European honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies has been a growing cause of international concern among beekeepers throughout the last 50 yr. Varroa ... -
Bis-(η(2)-ethyl-ene)(η(5)-inden-yl)iridium(I).
(2013)The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ir(C9H7)(C2H4)2], consists of two independent mol-ecules. The bonding between iridium and the five-membered ring of the indenyl ligand shows the usual asymmetry associated with ... -
A Bistable Switch in Virus Dynamics Can Explain the Differences in Disease Outcome Following SIV Infections in Rhesus Macaques
(Frontiers, 2018-06-06)Experimental studies have shown that the size and infectious-stage of viral inoculum influence disease outcomes in rhesus macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus. The possible contribution to disease outcome ... -
Block copolymer derived uniform mesopores enable ultrafast electron and ion transport at highmass loadings
(Nature Research, 2019)High mass loading and fast charge transport are two crucial but often mutually exclusive characteristics of pseudocapacitors. On conventional carbon supports, high mass loadings inevitably lead to sluggish electron conduction ...
