Wang, Chao, Moghaddam, Reza B., Bergens, Steven H.
A series of Ir1–xCux (x = 0–0.5) hydrous oxide nanoparticles (HO-np) were prepared simply by stirring solutions of IrCl3 hydrate and CuCl2 hydrate in aqueous KOH under air. Their water oxidation activities were measured in 0.1 M HClO4. The Ir0.89Cu0.11 HO-np was the most active catalyst in the...

Activity of flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) in the presence of feces from rats infected with rat tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta)
Download1998
We studied the attraction of flour beetles (Tribolium confusum) to feces from rats infected with the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta. Beetles were either fed or fasted prior to each trial. During trials, beetles were tested. singly or in groups and offered a choice (i) between natural baits...

Acyclovir for treating varicella in otherwise healthy children and adolescents: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
Download2002
Wiebe, N., Klassen, T. P., Hartling, L., Belseck, E. M.
Background Acyclovir has the potential to shorten the course of chickenpox which may result in reduced costs and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review of randomised controlled trials that evaluated acyclovir for the treatment of chickenpox in otherwise healthy children. Methods MEDLINE,...

Acyl-CoA-binding and self-associating properties of a recombinant 13.3 kDa N-terminal fragment of diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 from oilseed rape
Download2006
Nykiforuk, Cory L., Szarka, Steve J., Laroche, André, Mosimann, Steven C., Burton, Tracy L., Thibault, Benjamin J., Boora, Parveen S., Madhavji, Milan, Foroud, Nora A., Moloney, Maurice M., Wiehler, William B., Patterson, Nii A., Weselake, Randall J., Furukawa-Stoffer, Tara L.
Background Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1, 2-diacylglycerol to generate triacylglycerol and CoA. The deduced amino acid sequence of cDNAs encoding DGAT1 from plants and mammals exhibit a hydrophilic N-terminal region followed...

Adaptation to high grain diets proceeds through minimal immune system stimulation and differences in extracellular matrix protein expression in a model of subacute ruminal acidosis in non-lactating dairy cows
Download2012
AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Dionissopoulos, Louis, Steele, Michael A.
Problem statement: Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a metabolic disorder affecting approximately 20% of all dairy cattle in North America. Although the presence of SARA has been described for some time, the etiology of the disorder remains uncertain. For example, many animals diagnosed with...

Adaptations to Submarine Hydrothermal Environments Exemplified by the Genome of Nautilia profundicola
Download2009
Hanson, T.E., Cary, S.C., Eisen, J.A., Stein, L.Y., Robinson, J.M., Campbell, B.J., Lee, C.K., Wu, D., Smith, J.L., Khouri, H.M., Klotz, M.G.
Submarine hydrothermal vents are model systems for the Archaean Earth environment, and some sites maintain conditions that may have favored the formation and evolution of cellular life. Vents are typified by rapid fluctuations in temperature and redox potential that impose a strong selective...

The prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is growing, and people are living with this disease well into older age. Little is known about how people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease adapt to aging, particularly the physical changes of aging. According to the Identity...

Adaptive and neutral markers both show continent-wide population structure of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
Download2016-01-01
Sperling, Felix A. H., Murray, Brent W., Batista, Philip D., Janes, Jasmine K., Boone, Celia K.
Assessments of population genetic structure and demographic history have traditionally been based on neutral markers while explicitly excluding adaptive markers. In this study, we compared the utility of putatively adaptive and neutral single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for inferring mountain...

Adaptive CPG-based Gait Planning with Learning-based Torque Estimation and Control for Exoskeletons
Download2021-01-01
Mojtaba Sharifi, Javad K. Mehr, Vivian K. Mushahwar, Mahdi Tavakoli
n this paper, a new adaptable gait trajectory shaping method is proposed for lower-limb exoskeletons by defining central pattern generators (CPGs). These CPGs are synchronized across different joints and updated online in response to the human users’ physical behavior to enhance their safety and...
