Defense against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Arabidopsis is dependent on jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and ethylene signaling
(2007-11)
Genotypic differences in susceptibility of Arabidopsis thaliana to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum have not been reported due to the extreme susceptibility of this cruciferous plant. To overcome this limitation, we have established ...
Hypermobility and the hypermobility syndrome
(2007-11)
Hypermobile joints by definition display a range of movement that is considered excessive, taking into consideration the age, gender and ethnic background of the individual. Joint hypermobility, when associated with symptoms ...
The peri-electrode space is a significant element of the electrode-brain interface in deep brain stimulation : a computational study
(2007-10-19)
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an increasingly used clinical treatment for various neurological disorders, particularly movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. However, the mechanism by which these high frequency ...
Inhibition of the formation of the neurotoxin 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine by polyphenols
(2007-10-19)
The death of nigral neurons in Parkinson's disease is thought to involve the formation of the endogenous neurotoxin, 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine. In the present study, we show that the polyphenols, (+)-catechin and caffeic acid, ...

(2007-10-01)
This article analyses the effects of the ‘servant problem’, meaning the contraction of the domestic service industry in the twentieth century, as represented in domestic advice literature (etiquette, homemaking and home ...
Effects of pathogen polygalacturonase, ethylene, and firmness on interactions between pear fruits and Botrytis cinerea
(2007-10-01)
The plant hormone ethylene regulates developmental processes as well as responses to abiotic stress and pathogens. Ethylene influences interactions between the gray mold pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, and its hosts. The primary ...
Finite presentability of Bruck-Reilly extensions of Clifford monoids
(2007-10)
Let M be a Clifford monoid and let θ be an endomorphism of M. We prove that if the Bruck–Reilly extension BR(M, θ) is finitely presented then M is finitely generated. This allows us to derive necessary and sufficient ...
