Pink-pigmented commensal bacteria, Methylobacterium spp. are facultative methylotrophs (i.e. they utilize methanol, but they can also use other carbon compounds) commonly referred to as PPFMs. PPFMs associate with seeds ...

The management of park and wildlife areas is an important aspect of city management. Parks and nature areas are used for numerous purposes; recreation, community events, and exercise are but a few. These areas may also ...

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 ...

The current study is being conducted to better understand how interior capillary geometry/design and interior surface treatments may affect the thermal performance of sintered and non-sintered, grooved heat pipes. The ...

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 ...

DOTA-Y3-Octreotate (DOTA-TATE) and other somatostatin analogs can be labeled with radionuclides for cancer-fighting applications. Specifically, the radiolanthanides are of great interest to the radiopharmaceutical industry ...

The expansion of the soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) across soybean producing regions of the United States shows no signs of slowing. Resistant soybean germplasm has been used as the primary strategy to ...

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, ...

In Arabidopsis thaliana several phenotypes are controlled by blue light including chloroplast relocation movements and bending of the seedling stem in phototropism. These responses are controlled by the phototropins, phot1 ...

Objective: To determine efficacy of a new modified constraint - induced movement therapy protocol in clients with chronic stroke. Method: Each participant will undergo a six week modified constraint-induced movement (mCIMT) ...

Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, causing arthritis and carditis in infected animal models. The presence of spirochetes in the joint and other soft tissues induce recruitment of ...

Electrohydrodynamic pumps (EHD) were built and tested to further understand the nature of the technology. Two pumps built used a conductive pumping action to achieve flow within a dielectric fluid. The first pump (pump 11) ...

The gram-negative coccobacillus H. influenzae is part of the respiratory mucosal flora of most healthy humans. Before the era of Hib vaccination, encapsulated H. influenzae of serotype b were the leading cause of childhood ...

Pioneering techniques for therapeutic treatment of cancers involve targeting cancer sites with strong beta-emitting radionuclides, thereby destroying the cancer cells. This is achieved by coordinating the radioisotope to ...

A critical factor in the proliferation and the metastatic nature of carcinoma cells appears to be their resistance to natural programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, the molecular mechanisms that enable carcinoma cells ...

Nature recycles proline by converting it to glutamate. This 4-electron oxidation process is catalyzed by two catabolic enzymes, proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH). Inborn ...

One approach to the treatment of cancer is to direct beta-emitting radionuclide to the cancer site where the radiation destroys the cancer cells. This can be achieved by coordinating the radioisotope in a very stable ...
