Effects of cyanobacterial toxins on the human gastrointestinal tract and the ...
Abstract Background Cyanobacterial blooms occur with increasing frequency in freshwater ecosystems, posing a hazard to human and environmental health. Exposure of human to... -
Fat mass and fat distribution are associated with low back pain intensity and...
Abstract Background Determining the association between body composition and low back pain (LBP) will improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which obesity affects LBP,... -
Changes in nutritional status of children who lived in temporary shelters in ...
Abstract Background The nutritional status of children may deteriorate after natural disasters such as earthquakes. A 7.8 Richter scale earthquake struck Nepal in 2015 that... -
Demand-Side Energy Management under Time-Varying Prices
Under time-varying electricity prices, an end-user may be stimulated to delay exible demands that can be shifted over time. In this paper, we study the problem where each... -
Gut bacterial diversity and physiological traits of Anastrepha fraterculus Br...
Abstract Background The interaction between gut bacterial symbionts and Tephritidae became the focus of several studies that showed that bacteria contributed to the nutritional... -
Thermal expansion feedback for wave-front shaping
Focusing inside scattering media is a challenging task with a variety of applications in biomedicine. State of the art methods mostly require invasive feedback inside or behind... -
The phenotypic signature of adaptation to thermal stress in Escherichia coli
Abstract Background In the short-term, organisms acclimate to stress through phenotypic plasticity, but in the longer term they adapt to stress genetically. The mutations that... -
Focusing through dynamic scattering media
We demonstrate steady-state focusing of coherent light through dynamic scattering media. The phase of an incident beam is controlled both spatially and temporally using a... -
Change in renin, cardiovascular and inflammatory markers over three years in ...
Abstract Background To investigate if percentage change (%∆) in renin over a 3 year follow-up is associated with %∆ in cardiovascular and inflammatory markers in a low renin... -
OhsR acts as an organic peroxide-sensing transcriptional activator using an S...
Abstract Background Corynebacterium glutamicum is a well-known producer of various l-amino acids in industry. During the fermenting process, C. glutamicum unavoidably encounters... -
Magnitude and influence of atmospheric phosphorus deposition on the southern ...
Abstract Background There are various ways for nutrients to enter aquatic ecosystems causing eutrophication. Phosphorus deposition through precipitation can be one pathway,... -
Mapping multi-day GPS data: a cartographic study in NYC
Multi-day Global Positioning System (GPS) data are increasingly being used in research – including in the field of spatial epidemiology. We present several maps as ways to... -
Characterisation of a niche-specific excretory–secretory peroxiredoxin from t...
Abstract Background The primary cause of parasitic gastroenteritis in small ruminants in temperate regions is the brown stomach worm, Teladorsagia circumcincta. Host immunity to... -
Environmental footprints of food consumption and dietary patterns among Leban...
Abstract Background Following the release of the Sustainable Development Goals, dietary patterns and guidelines are being revised for their effect on the environment in addition... -
Global transcriptional landscape and promoter mapping of the gut commensal Bi...
Abstract Background Bifidobacterium breve represents a common member of the infant gut microbiota and its presence in the gut has been associated with host well being. For this... -
The round goby genome provides insights into mechanisms that may facilitate b...
Abstract Background The invasive benthic round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is the most successful temperate invasive fish and has spread in aquatic ecosystems on both sides of... -
Oligo-carrageenan kappa increases glucose, trehalose and TOR-P and subsequent...
Abstract Background It has been previously shown that oligo-carrageenan (OC) kappa increases growth, photosynthesis and activities of enzymes involved in basal and secondary... -
tmap: an integrative framework based on topological data analysis for populat...
Abstract Untangling the complex variations of microbiome associated with large-scale host phenotypes or environment types challenges the currently available analytic methods.... -
Genome-scale metabolic model analysis indicates low energy production efficie...
Abstract Marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle by obtaining energy for biomass production from CO2 via oxidation of... -
Subnanometer optical coherence tomographic vibrography
The ability to quantify and visualize submicrometer-scale oscillatory motions of objects in three dimensions has a wide range of application in acoustics, materials sciences,...
