To define morphological changes in carotid and cerebral arteries in sickle cell transgenic mice (SS) as they age, a combination of ultrasound and microcomputed tomography of plastinated arteries was used to quantify arterial dimensions and changes in mice 4, 12, and 24 weeks of age. 12-week SS mice had significantly larger common carotid artery…[Read more]

Time Scale Modification (TSM) is a well-researched field; however, no effective objective measure of quality exists. This paper details the creation, subjective evaluation, and analysis of a dataset for use in the development of an objective measure of quality for TSM. Comprised of two parts, the training component contains 88 source files…[Read more]

Dichlorprop [(RS)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid; DCPP], an important phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicide (PAAH), is extensively used in the form of racemic mixtures (Rac-DCPP), and the environmental fates of both DCPP enantiomers [(R)-DCPP and (S)-DCPP] mediated by microorganisms are of great concern. In this study, a bacterial strain…[Read more]

5) and 29 h (15.5-48). Influenza was mostly acquired in a double-bedded room (N = 39, 68.4%), with documented exposure in 14 cases. Influenza B virus was more common in nosocomial (46/57, 80.7%), than in community-acquired cases (359/803, 44.6%), P less then 0.001. Mortality rate at three months was 15.8% (N = 9). Incidence of nosocomial influenza…[Read more]

This model improved the predicted performance of yearly GPP with a 57%-210% increase in correlation (median) and up to a 102% reduction in biases (median), compared to three prognostic models and three prescribed models. At the North America continental scale, the model predicted the average annual GPP of 7.38 Pg C/year from forest ecosystems…[Read more]

2 ng/sample). The quantified drug levels detected on surface wipe samples after self-cleaning using both methods in the KIRO® Oncology’s compounding area surface sections were all <LOQ when spiking with 1 ng/cm

(ten times the ‘safe’ reference value), except for carboplatin (alkaline method only), although its levels were still below the ‘saf…[Read more]

HIV, but not MetS, was associated with greater disinhibition. The present findings suggest an additive effect of HIV and MetS on specific neurobehavioral disturbances (apathy and executive dysfunction), underscoring the importance of identifying and treating both HIV and MetS to lessen central nervous system burden among PLWH.The evolution of the…[Read more]

On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic evidences, strain HX-5-24T is considered as a novel species in the genus Lysobacter, for which the name Lysobacter gilvus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HX-5-24T (= KCTC 72470T = CCTCC AB 2019228T).Heritable microbes are an important component of invertebrate biology, acting both as benef…[Read more]
