Overcoming barriers in evaluating outbreaks of diarrheal disease in resource poor settings: assessment of recurrent outbreaks in Chobe District, Botswana
(2013-08-26)Background Diarrheal illness remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with the majority of deaths occurring in children <5 years of age. Lack of resources often prohibits the evaluation of outbreak ... -
Rapid Learning of Magnetic Compass Direction by C57BL/6 Mice in a 4-Armed 'Plus' Water Maze
(PLOS, 2013-08-30)Magnetoreception has been demonstrated in all five vertebrate classes. In rodents, nest building experiments have shown the use of magnetic cues by two families of molerats, Siberian hamsters and C57BL/6 mice. However, ... -
The Parity-Associated Microenvironmental Niche in the Omental Fat Band Is Refractory to Ovarian Cancer Metastasis
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2013-09-10)Ovarian cancer is an insidious and aggressive disease of older women, typically undiscovered prior to peritoneal metastasis due to its asymptomatic nature and lack of early detection tools. Epidemiological studies suggest ... -
Comparing Urban Impervious Surface Identification Using Landsat and High Resolution Aerial Photography
(MDPI, 2013-10-10)This paper evaluates accuracies of selected image classification strategies, as applied to Landsat imagery to assess urban impervious surfaces by comparing them to reference data manually delineated from high-resolution ... -
The Comparative Validity of Interactive Multimedia Questionnaires to Paper-Administered Questionnaires for Beverage Intake and Physical Activity: Pilot Study
(JMIR PUBLICATIONS, 2013-10-22)Background: Brief, valid, and reliable dietary and physical activity assessment tools are needed, and interactive computerized assessments (ie, those with visual cues, pictures, sounds, and voiceovers) can reduce administration ... -
Reproductive performance of dairy farms in western Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(American Dairy Science Association, 2013-12)The objective of this study was to describe the reproductive performance of 23 grazing-based dairy farms from western Buenos Aires province in Argentina. The data set included data from the breeding season starting in May ... -
The Human Right to Water: The Importance of Domestic and Productive Water Rights
(Springer, 2013-12-12)The United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights engenders important state commitments to respect, fulfill, and protect a broad range of socio-economic rights. In 2010, a milestone was reached when the UN ... -
Will we cure cancer by sequencing thousands of genomes?
(2013-12-13)The promise to understand cancer and develop efficacious therapies by sequencing thousands of cancers has not occurred. Mutations in specific genes termed oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are extremely heterogeneous ... -
Proteomic study reveals a functional network of cancer markers in the G1-Stage of the breast cancer cell cycle
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Cancer cells are characterized by a deregulated cell cycle that facilitates abnormal proliferation by allowing cells to by-pass tightly regulated molecular checkpoints such as the G1/S restriction point. To ... -
Conservation and Unscripted Development: Proximity to park associated with development and financial diversity
(The Resilience Alliance, 2014)Decades of research on the social dynamics of biodiversity conservation has shown that parks and protected areas have added hardship to rural communities throughout much of the developing world. Nonetheless, some recent ... -
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. ... -
High-Temperature Superconducting Fiber
(Springer, 2014-01-29)In this study, we demonstrated superconductivity in a fiber with an yttrium barium copper oxide core and fused silica cladding. The fibers were fabricated via a modified melt-draw technique and post-process annealing ... -

Hydrido(prolinato-κ(2) N,O)tris-(tri-methyl-phosphane-κP)iridium(III) hexa-fluorido-phosphate.
(International Union of Crystallography, 2014-02-01)The title complex, [Ir(C5H8NO2)H(C3H9P)3]PF6, has two independent anion-cation pairs in the asymmetric unit. The geometry about each Ir(III) atom is pseudo-octa-hedral with a meridional arrangement of the P(CH3)3 ligands, ... -
The pivotal role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases in metabolic flexibility
(2014-02-12)Metabolic flexibility is the capacity of a system to adjust fuel (primarily glucose and fatty acids) oxidation based on nutrient availability. The ability to alter substrate oxidation in response to nutritional state depends ... -
New insights into enzymatic hydrolysis of heterogeneous cellulose by using carbohydrate-binding module 3 containing GFP and carbohydrate-binding module 17 containing CFP
(2014-02-19)Background The in-depth understanding of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose with heterogeneous morphology (that is, crystalline versus amorphous) may help develop better cellulase cocktail mixtures and biomass pretreatment, ... -
Volumetric imaging of turbulent reactive flows at kHz based on computed tomography
(OSA Publishing, 2014-02-21)Diagnostics with three-dimensional (3D) spatial resolution and rapid temporal resolution have been long desired to resolve the complicated turbulence-chemistry interactions. This paper describes a method based on based on ... -
