Biogenic cloud nuclei in the central Amazon during the transition from wet to dry season
(2016-08-03)The Amazon basin is a vast continental area in which atmospheric composition is relatively unaffected by anthropogenic aerosol particles. Understanding the proper- ties of the natural biogenic aerosol particles over the ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device - Part II : Reliability
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but the reliability of this data is fundamental for confidence in the equipment being used. The objective of this study was to ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device Part I : Validity
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but there is limited information on its validity. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of all 5 BioharnessTM ... -
Bioinformatic Principles Underlying the Information Content of Transcription Factor Binding Sites
(2003)Empirically, it has been observed in several cases that the information content of transcription factor binding site sequences (Rsequence) approximately equals the information content of binding site positions (Rfrequency). ... -
Bioinformatics and Regression Analyses Manifest Tumor-Specific miRNA Expression Dynamics in Pediatric Embryonal Malignancies
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10-29)Pediatric Central Nervous System (CNS) neoplasms are the second most prevalent tumors of childhood. Further on, prognosis of this type of neoplasms still remain poor and the comprehension of the etiology and pathogenesis ... -
Biological and Cultural Management : 2nd Edition
(Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI), 2013-09-17)Biological control of nematodes principally concerns the exploitation of microbial agents. As cultural methods of crop protection have profound effects on microbial abundance, diversity and activity in soil, it is appropriate ... -
Biological Control of Cyst Nematodes through Microbial Pathogens, Endophytes and Antagonists
(Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI), 2018-05-08)This chapter describes the main microbial antagonists of cyst nematodes, their mode of action and how such antagonists can be used in a sustainable manner to suppress cyst nematodes and improve crop yield. -
Biological evaluations of novel 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate in osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities
(2017-12-08)Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first line treatment for many bone diseases including hypercalcimia associated with bone malignancies. In this paper, we introduce a new analogue of bisphosphonate called the 2,3,3-Trisphosphonate ... -
Biologically plausible computational models for facial expression recognition
(2013-12-01)This paper discusses various biologically plausible computational models that recognize human facial expression and analyze them. Identifying facial expressions is a non trivial task for a human and is a key part of social ... -
The biology of Mycosphaerella capsellae sp. nov., the teleomorph of Pseudocercosporella capsellae, cause of white leaf spot of oilseed rape
(1991-11-30)Mycosphaerella capsellae sp. nov. is reported as the teleomorph of Pseudocercosporella capsellae, the cause of white leaf spot on oilseed rape and other crucifers. Spermogonia and protoascomata were observed in white leaf ... -
Bioluminescence-based measurement of viability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 harbouring plasmid-based lux genes under the control of constitutive promoters
(2014-11)Detection of microbial contamination in pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics has been problematic for several decades. Numerous investigations highlight the urgency for novel methods; development of bioluminescent constructs ... -
Bioluminescent Francisella tularensis SCHU S4 enables non-invasive tracking of bacterial dissemination and the evaluation of antibiotics in an inhalational mouse model of tularaemia
(2016-12-01)Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) enables real-time, noninvasive tracking of infection in vivo and longitudinal infection studies. In this study, a bioluminescent Francisella tularensis strain, SCHU S4-lux, was used to develop ... -

Biomarkers of Thrombotic Status Predict Spontaneous Reperfusion in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
(2023-05-16)Background Spontaneous reperfusion, seen in ∼20% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), manifests as normal epicardial flow in the infarct-related artery, with or without ST-segment resolution, ... -
Biomechanical testing procedures in tendon graft reconstructive ACL surgery
(2010-10-01)This paper, describes the biomedical testing of an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an interference screw fixation on the bovine and porcine tissues. The harvesting procedure, experimental setup, ... -
Biomechanics of ankle instability Part 1 : Reaction time to simulated ankle sprain
(2008)Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate slower muscular reaction times than their contralateral stable ankle (SA) and stable healthy controls to a simulated nonpathological ... -
Biomechanics of ankle instability. Part 2 : Postural sway-reaction time relationship
(2008)Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate greater single-limb postural sway (PS) than their contralateral stable joint and stable healthy controls and to examine the relationship ... -
