The marine bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus has evolved multiple strategies for adapting to short- and long-term shifts in osmolarity. One such mechanism involves the uptake and/or biosynthesis of small organic molecules ...

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ex situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) experimental techniques were utilized to investigate growth rates and chemical structure of humins formed during biomass conversion. We ...

This paper aims to conceptualize "outsider" as an approach to gaining power as well as to provide a language with which we can discuss outsiders. It begins with an argument for how outsiders pose a threat to liberal ...

There is growing recognition of the critical importance of the impact of social determinants of health – conditions that impact health status and outcomes – on individual and community health outcomes. Yet, despite efforts ...

The prerogative of the overall program that the research I am conducting fit into is the rapid manufacturing of a low profile, fully customized, passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (PD-AFO) from composites. With a rapid ...

This study focuses on the problems the Chinese state faces in providing social services, namely education services, for migrant workers living in slums on the outskirts of Chinese cities. Narrowing the study to focus on ...

Horseshoe crabs are important creatures. They support the whelk and eel fisheries, provide an important food source for migrating shorebirds, and are important to the biomedical industry. All three of these industries ...

In order to improve conservation of migratory songbirds, we must better understand their relationship with stopover landscapes. Weather surveillance radar permits such studies to be done by locating where high densities ...

The prostate gland is a significant source of male genitourinary tract morbidity. As developmental processes share several features in common with metastatic cancer, I hypothesize that a better understanding of genes ...

Food availability is widely recognized as a primary threat to snow leopard (Panthera uncia) populations throughout their range. Effective conservation of snow leopards therefore depends upon reliable knowledge of their ...
