A LexA-related protein regulates redox-sensitive expression of the cyanobacterial RNA helicase, crhR
Download2006
Colvin, Kimberley R., Owttrim, George W. , Patterson-Fortin, Laura M.
Expression of the cyanobacterial DEAD-box RNA helicase, crhR , is regulated in response to conditions, which elicit reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. A combination of electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), DNA affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry identified...

A longitudinal study of changing characteristics of taste and smell alterations in patients treated for lung cancer
Download2016
Månsson-Brahme, Eva, Wismer, Wendy, Tishelman, Carol, Bernhardson, Britt-Marie, Belqaid, Kerstin, Orrevall, Ylva, McGreevy, Jenny
Purpose Taste and smell alterations (TSAs) are common symptoms in patients with cancer that may interfere with nutritional intake and quality of life. In this study, we explore and describe how characteristics of self-reported TSAs change in individuals with lung cancer over time using a multiple...

A Mark-Recapture Study of Trematode Parasitism in Overwintered Helisoma anceps (Pulmonata), with Special Reference to Halipegus occidualis (Hemiuridae).
Download1989
Shostak, A.W., Esch, G.W., Goater, T.M., Williams, J.A.
A collection of 556 snails, Helisoma anceps, was made from a pond in the Piedmont area of North Carolina during October 1987. Snails were measured and assayed for trematode parasitism, and then 500 randomly selected individuals were marked and returned to the pond. Collections made between 23...

A mechanism study of acid-assisted oxidative stabilization of asphaltene-derived carbon fibers
Download2021-10-01
Leistenschneider, Desirée, Zuo, Peiyuan, Kim, Yuna, Abedi, Zahra, Ivey, Douglas G., de Klerk, Arno, Zhang, Xuehua, Chen, Weixing
The development of inexpensive carbon fiber precursors is necessary to meet the future demands of carbon fibers. This work shows how asphaltenes, which are obtained as a by-product in bitumen production, can play an important role as such inexpensive carbon fiber precursors. To synthesize carbon...
