Isolation and characterization of a baculovirus associated with the insect parasitoid wasp, Cotesia marginiventris, or its host, Trichoplusia ni
(University of Wisconsin, 2008)
purified by infecting a Heliothis subflexa (BCIRL- HsAM1) cell line and isolating several clones. The mean estimated genomic size of this virus based on PstI, BstEII, StyI, HindIII restriction profiles was estimated to be 106 ± 2.5 kbp (mean±SE). A clone...
Identification of secondary science teachers' preconceptions related to avian influenza

. In this paper, we discuss alternative conceptions regarding the flu held by these ten teachers collectively before and after the institute, as well as the role of the institute activities in changing these. Data sources included written assessments before...
How should we follow up a positive screen for anemia in a 1-year old?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2005)
Healthy infants who test positive for anemia on routine screening at 1 year of age are most likely iron-deficient and may be treated empirically with a trial of iron therapy (3-6 mg of elemental iron/kg/d). Documentation ...
Adaptive Silhouette Extraction In Dynamic Environments Using Fuzzy Logic
(IEEE, 2006-07)
Extracting a human silhouette from an image is the enabling step for many high-level vision processing tasks, such as human tracking and activity analysis. In a
previous paper, we addressed some of the challenges in ...
Does injection of steroids and lidocaine in the shoulder relieve bursitis?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2004)
Subacromial steroid injection may provide a small, short-term benefit compared with placebo. The short-term effectiveness of steroid injection compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) remains unclear. ...
Bisphenol A Data in NHANES Suggest Longer than Expected Half-Life, Substantial Nonfood Exposure, or Both
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
It is commonly stated in the literature on human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) that food is the predominant BPA exposure source, and that BPA is rapidly and completely cleared from the body. If this is correct, BPA levels ...
