Oxyspirura petrowi infection leads to pathological consequences in Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)
(2016)Debilitating ocular diseases are often reported in avian species. By and large, helminth parasites have been overlooked in avian diseases and regarded as inconsequential. The decline of Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus ... -
Deterministic learning enhanced neutral network control of unmanned helicopter
(2016)In this article, a neural network-based tracking controller is developed for an unmanned helicopter system with guaranteed global stability in the presence of uncertain system dynamics. Due to the coupling and modeling ... -
Fungicides and Application Timing for Control of Early Leafspot, Southern Blight, and Sclerotinia Blight of Peanut
(2016)Field studies were conducted in 2013 and 2014 in south Texas near Yoakum and from 2008 to 2011 in central Texas near Stephenville to evaluate various fungicides for foliar and soilborne disease control as well as peanut ... -
Post-treatment sludge analyses and purification of paint effluent by coag-flocculation method
(2016)Tympanotonos fuscatus shell (T. fuscatus shell), an abundant eco-friendly waste was used as a precursor for the production of Tympanotonos fuscatus coagulant (TFC) for the purification of paint effluent (PE). Tympanotonos ... -
Dynamics of a discrete host-parasitoid system with stocking
(2015)Motivated by the biological control of pests, we present discrete-time models of host-parasitoid interactions to study the effects of external stocking upon the systems. It is assumed that density dependence of the hosts ... -
Dorsiflexion, plantar-flexion, and neutral ankle positions during passive resistance assessments of the posterior hip and thigh muscles
(2015)Context: Passive straight-legged-raise (SLR) assessments have been performed with the ankle fixed in dorsiflexion (DF), plantar-flexion (PF), or neutral (NTRL) position. However, it is unclear whether ankle position ... -
Activity of Plasma Membrane V-ATPases Is Critical for the Invasion of MDA-MB231 Breast Cancer Cells
(2015)Background: Ahe V-ATPase has been proposed to function at the plasma membrane in tumor cell invasion. Results: Inhibition of plasma membrane V-ATPases prevented invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion: Activity of plasma ... -
Gonadotrope-specific deletion of Dicer results in severely suppressed gonadotropins and fertility defects
(2015)Pituitary gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone are heterodimeric glycoproteins expressed in gonadotropes. They act on gonads and promote their development and functions including steroidogenesis ... -
Elemental quantification, chemistry, and source apportionment in golf course facilities in a semi-arid urban landscape using a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer
(2015)This study extends the application of the portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry to the examination of elements in semi-arid urban landscapes of the Southern High Plains (SHP) of the United States, focusing on ... -
Evaluating management-induced soil salinization in golf courses in semi-arid landscapes
(2015)Site-specific information on land management practices are often desired to make better assessments of their environmental impacts. A study was conducted in Lubbock, Texas, in the Southern High Plains of the United States, ... -
Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-ulcerogenic potentials of Achillea fragrantissima (Forssk.)
(2015)Achillea fragrantissima is a perennial herb grown in Egypt and traditionally employed medicinally for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties among Sinai inhabitants. Non-polar and polar extracts were obtained by ... -
Charge carrier transport properties in layer structured hexagonal boron nitride
(2014)Due to its large in-plane thermal conductivity, high temperature and chemical stability, large energy band gap (∼ 6.4 eV), hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as an important material for applications in deep ultraviolet ... -
Effects of Mg-doped AlN/AlGaN superlattices on properties of p-GaN contact layer and performance of deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes
(2014)Mg-doped AlN/AlGaN superlattice (Mg-SL) and Mg-doped AlGaN epilayers have been investigated in the 284 nm deep ultraviolet (DUV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) as electron blocking layers. It was found that the use of Mg-SL ... -
Electrical transport properties of (BN)-rich hexagonal (BN)C semiconductor alloys
(2014)The layer structured hexagonal boron nitride carbon semiconductor alloys, h-(BN)C, offer the unique abilities of bandgap engineering (from 0 for graphite to ∼6.4 eV for h-BN) and electrical conductivity control (from ... -
Metal composition of fine particulate air pollution and acute changes in cardiorespiratory physiology
(2014)Background Studying the physiologic effects of components of fine particulate mass (PM2.5) could contribute to a better understanding of the nature of toxicity of air pollution. Objectives We examined the relation between ... -
Risk assessment for cardiovascular and respiratory mortality due to air pollution and synoptic meteorology in 10 Canadian cities
(2014)Synoptic weather and ambient air quality synergistically influence human health. We report the relative risk of mortality from all non-accidental, respiratory-, and cardiovascular-related causes, associated with exposure ... -
A design space for dynamic service level agreements in OpenStack
(2014)This paper does a systematic review of the possible design space for cloud-hosted applications that may have changing resource requirements that need to be supported through dynamic service level agreements (SLAs).The ... -
Ontogeny and social dominance: A developmental view of human power patterns
(2014)Developmental science has long evolutionary roots and has historically focused on individual differences. Accordingly, developmental models can inform conversations about phylogeny and personality. The present paper evokes ... -
Higher fine-scale genetic structure in peripheral than in core populations of a long-lived and mixed-mating conifer - Eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.)
(2012)Background: Fine-scale or spatial genetic structure (SGS) is one of the key genetic characteristics of plant populations. Several evolutionary and ecological processes and population characteristics influence the level of ... -
