ALL-CRAFT (http://all-craft.missouri.edu) is a partnership of the University of Missouri,Columbia (MU, lead institution) and Midwest Research Institute (MRI), Kansas City, to developlow-pressure, high-capacity storage ...

Increasing awareness of environmental factors and limited energy resources have led to a profound evolution in the way we view the generation and supply of energy. Although fossil and nuclear sources will remain the most ...

The aromatase knockout mouse lacks the gene sequence coding for functional aromatase, a protein that converts androgens into estrogens. Previously, to genotype an aromatase mouse, two separate PCRs were run: #1) Neomycin ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental condition that affects many veterans and others who have been through a traumatic experience. One widely used method to combat PTSD is debriefing, which is an interview between ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) brace roots are responsible for physical stability in the soil and for water and nutrient acquisition in maize. The objective of this project is to investigate how traits related to light perception ...

Anthrax is a highly fatal disease primarily of cattle, sheep, and goats caused by the Gram-positive, endospore-producing, rod-shaped bacterium Bacillus anthracis. B. anthracis, like the other members of the genus Bacillus, ...

The current state of wireless security in most areas can be estimated based on trends and collected data, but the complete picture is often unknown. Without collecting the information on most wireless access points in a ...

Polyploidy is a eukaryotic phenomenon common to plants that serves as an evolutionary mechanism for speciation. Diploid species undergo polyploidization through single genome duplication (autopolyploidy) or by the hybridization ...

There is not a clear consensus on how open-standard video streaming technologies perform across wireless computer networks. Wireless networking technologies have become nearly ubiquitous, particularly in residential networks, ...

There is currently no cure for malignant melanoma and the best hope for a patient is early diagnosis and surgical excision. A promising approach to early cancer diagnosis is the use of radiolabeled peptides for tumor ...

Circumstellar dust is the key to understanding the cosmos. Circumstellar dust forms around a star from the newly-formed elements ejected by the star. The constituent particles of the dust are determined by processes deep ...

There is growing evidence of worldwide amphibian decline. These declines are largely due to land use such as timber harvest in riparian zones. The southern Appalachian Mountains have miles of streams and arguably the ...

Once only seen as a gay white male disease, HIV/AIDS continues to rise in heterosexual black women and has hit in a way that would have looked like impossible twenty years ago. The reason for this is no mere coincidence, ...

The current state of wireless security in most areas can be estimated Based on trends and collected data, but the complete picture is often unknown. Without collecting the information on most wireless access points in a ...

PGAM5 is a member of the phosphoglycerate mutase family. It has been identified as a substrate for BTB-Kelch protein Keap1, a substrate adaptor for a cullin-based ubiquitin ligase. Keap1 plays an important role in cellular ...

Since the 1990's scientists have become concerned about the declining population of migratory birds. A reduction in available habitat in wintering grounds and stop-over sites during migration may contribute to the decline ...

Relatively new to the scientific community is the RNA interference pathway (RNAi) that can be used to silence post-transcriptional gene expression. Long dsRNA can be introduced into cells and through various mechanisms ...

Unicast connections are a single connection between two computer hosts. While they may work well for one-to-one communication or non-real-time applications, these connections may not be as efficient for one-to-many or ...

Insects inhabit extreme temperature environments and have evolved mechanisms to survive there. When temperatures either rise or fall, small insects alter their behavior within seconds to avoid, in extreme situations, ...

Gbx2 is a member of the Gbx class of homeobox genes which encode DNA-binding transcription factors. The amino acid sequence of Gbx2 is highly conserved across multiple species (e.g. mice, zebrafish, chicken, and frogs) ...
