Alone in Eden: Care aides' perceptions of consistent assignments.
2014
The Eden AlternativeÒ is a philosophy of care and transformational model aimed at increasing quality of life for nursing home residents by enhancing institutional environments and restructuring delivery of care. Three fundamental components of restructured care are resident care provided...

Keyghobadi, N., Roland, J., Fownes, S.
We used mark-recapture methods to estimate the number of Parnssius smintheus (Papilionidae) butterflies moving among 20 alpine meadows separated by varying amounts of forest along the east slope of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. We combined generalized additive models and generalized...

Glamm, A. B., Swanson, C. A., Borchers-Zampini, C., Hoddinott, J.
Bean plants, trimmed to a simplified “double source, double sink” translocation system (the paired primary leaves serving as the double source and the paired lateral leaflets of the immature first trifoliate leaf as the double sink) were used to study the magnitude and short-term time course of...

Alterations of innate immunity reactants in transition dairy cows before clinical signs of lameness
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Hailemariam, Dagnachew, Zhang, Guanshi, Goldansaz, Seyed A., Deng, Qilan, Dunn, Suzanna M., Ametaj, Burim N.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate metabolic and innate immunity alterations in the blood of transition dairy cows before, during, and after diagnosis of lameness during periparturient period. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vain once per week before morning feeding...

Altered microRNA expression in bovine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from cattle under different diet
Download2012
Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim, He, Maolong, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of molecular regulators found to participate in numerous biological processes, including adipogenesis in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the differences of miRNA expression between bovine subcutaneous (backfat) and visceral fat depots (perirenal...

Willing, Benjamin P., Finlay, B. Brett , Thanachayanont, Teerawat, Croxen, Matthew, Vacharaksa, Anjalee
Host resistance to bacterial infections is thought to be dictated by host genetic factors. Infections by the natural murine enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (used as a model of human enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infections) vary between mice strains, from mild...

Alternative Requirements for Vestigial, Scalloped, and Dmef2 during Muscle Differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster
Download2009
Bell, J. B., Deng, H., Simmonds, A. J., Hughes, S. C.
Abstract: Vertebrate development requires the activity of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (mef2) gene family for muscle cell specification and subsequent differentiation. Additionally, several muscle-specific functions of MEF2 family proteins require binding additional cofactors including members...

Amino acid polymorphisms in strictly conserved domains of a P-type ATPase HMA5 are involved in the mechanism of copper tolerance variation in Arabidopsis
Download2008
Kimura, K., Southron-Francis, J. L., Iuchi, S., Furuzawa, A., Taylor, G. J., Kobayashi, Y., Koyama, H., Kobayashi, M., Kuroda, K.
Copper (Cu) is an essential element in plant nutrition, but it inhibits the growth of roots at low concentrations. Accessions of Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana) vary in their tolerance to Cu. To understand the molecular mechanism of Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis, we performed quantitative trait...

Fliegel, Larry, Ohnishi, Mmamoru, Carpenter, Michael R., Khanna, Vijay K., Reithmeier, Reinhart A. F., MacLennan, David H.
Partial amino acid sequence analysis of rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle calsequestrin permitted the construction of synthetic oligonucleotides that were used as both primers and probes for the synthesis and isolation of cDNAs encoding calsequestrin from neonatal rabbit skeletal muscle...
