… We report on a comparison of two distinct instructional interventions informed by the same genetics … instructional interventions developed were implemented with HS students. In the next section we discuss each implementation context and the different instructional interventions…

Inverse characterization of plates using zero group velocity Lamb modes.

Ultrasonics

Grünsteidl C, Murray TW, Berer T, Veres IA.
PMID: 26527393
Ultrasonics. 2016 Feb;65:1-4. doi: 10.1016/j.ultras.2015.10.015. Epub 2015 Oct 17.

In the presented work, the characterization of plates using zero group velocity Lamb modes is discussed. First, analytical expressions are shown for the determination of the k-ω location of the zero group velocity Lamb modes as a function of...

Reciprocal Trophic Interactions and Transmission of Blood Parasites between Mosquitoes and Frogs.

Insects

Ferguson LV, Smith TG.
PMID: 26466534
Insects. 2012 Apr 03;3(2):410-23. doi: 10.3390/insects3020410.

The relationship between mosquitoes and their amphibian hosts is a unique, reciprocal trophic interaction. Instead of a one-way, predator-prey relationship, there is a cyclical dance of avoidance and attraction. This has prompted spatial and temporal synchrony between organisms, reflected...

Systematic drug repositioning through mining adverse event data in ClinicalTrials.gov.

PeerJ

Su EW, Sanger TM.
PMID: 28348935
PeerJ. 2017 Mar 23;5:e3154. doi: 10.7717/peerj.3154. eCollection 2017.

Drug repositioning (i.e., drug repurposing) is the process of discovering new uses for marketed drugs. Historically, such discoveries were serendipitous. However, the rapid growth in electronic clinical data and text mining tools makes it feasible to systematically identify drugs...

Cross-Cultural Investigation of Male Gait Perception in Relation to Physical Strength and Speed.

Frontiers in psychology

Fink B, Wübker M, Ostner J, Butovskaya ML, Mezentseva A, Muñoz-Reyes JA, Sela Y, Shackelford TK.
PMID: 28878720
Front Psychol. 2017 Aug 21;8:1427. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01427. eCollection 2017.

Previous research documents that men and women can accurately judge male physical strength from gait, but also that the sexes differ in attractiveness judgments of strong and weak male walkers. Women's (but not men's) attractiveness assessments of strong male...

Corrigendum: The abundant marine bacterium Pelagibacter simultaneously catabolizes dimethylsulfoniopropionate to the gases dimethyl sulfide and methanethiol.

Dual Window Pattern Recognition Classifier for Improved Partial-Hand Prosthesis Control.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Earley EJ, Hargrove LJ, Kuiken TA.
PMID: 26941599
Front Neurosci. 2016 Feb 23;10:58. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2016.00058. eCollection 2016.

Although partial-hand amputees largely retain the ability to use their wrist, it is difficult to preserve wrist motion while using a myoelectric partial-hand prosthesis without severely impacting control performance. Electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition is a well-studied control method; however,...

Association of gene coding variation and resting metabolic rate in a multi-ethnic sample of children and adults.

BMC obesity

Hellwege JN, Velez Edwards DR, Acra S, Chen K, Buchowski MS, Edwards TL.
PMID: 28417008
BMC Obes. 2017 Apr 05;4:12. doi: 10.1186/s40608-017-0145-5. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Resting metabolic rates (RMR) vary across individuals. Understanding the determinants of RMR could provide biological insight into obesity and its metabolic consequences such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.METHODS: The present study measured RMR using reference standard...

Soil respiration dynamics in fire affected semi-arid ecosystems: Effects of vegetation type and environmental factors.

The Science of the total environment

Muñoz-Rojas M, Lewandrowski W, Erickson TE, Dixon KW, Merritt DJ.
PMID: 26927962
Sci Total Environ. 2016 Dec 01;572:1385-1394. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.02.086. Epub 2016 Feb 28.

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second largest carbon flux in terrestrial ecosystems and therefore plays a crucial role in global carbon (C) cycling. This biogeochemical process is closely related to ecosystem productivity and soil fertility and is considered as...

Use of Animal Models in Understanding Cancer-induced Bone Pain.

Cancer growth and metastasis

Slosky LM, Largent-Milnes TM, Vanderah TW.
PMID: 26339191
Cancer Growth Metastasis. 2015 Aug 23;8:47-62. doi: 10.4137/CGM.S21215. eCollection 2015.

Many common cancers have a propensity to metastasize to bone. Although malignancies often go undetected in their native tissues, bone metastases produce excruciating pain that severely compromises patient quality of life. Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is poorly managed with...
