Anxiety is one of the most prevalent neuropsychological disorders around the world. In the United States of America (USA), it is a serious health problem affecting a large number of people and is considered as one of the ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Pyrethroid Resistance in the Mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say)
(2007-08-15)
Mosquitoes have been the ideal transmitters of a wide variety of disease agents due to their repeated blood feedings over their life span. Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) is an important disease vector in the Southeastern ...
Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hepatic Fetuin-A Expression
(2016-12-05)
Fetuin-A (Fet-A) is a hepatokine, known to inhibit insulin signaling and is associated with diabetes, cardiovascular outcomes and inflammation. Post-translational modification of fetuin-A at different glycosylation and ...
Molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic dysfunction in Aging Alzheimer's disease and Diabetes
(2012-01-19)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and diabetes (DB) contribute to the development of early brain aging and cognitive dysfunction. Mechanistic basis of cognitive dysfunction in AD and DB is not well elucidated. Resistance to age ...
Molecular modeling, design, and synthesis of some potential selective DNA minor groove alkylators
(2021-12-03)
Small molecules-DNA interactions are responsible for many biological processes. The DNA present in normal and tumor cells are almost identical. Therefore, DNA targeting drugs are used only in serious and life-threatening ...
Molecular Photovoltaic Systems Based on Phospholipids/Alkanethiol Hybrid Bilayer Membranes: Photocurrent Generation and Modulation
(2012-07-23)
Biological membranes offer an ideal place to assemble necessary components for plant
photosynthesis in nature and suggest new strategies to build artificial photosynthetic systems by
using lipid bilayers. In this ...
Molecular Photovoltaic Systems Based on Solid-Supported Phospholipids/Alkanethiol Hybrid Bilayer Matrices: Photocurrent Generation and Modulation
(2013-07-19)
Stimulated by the energy crisis and inspired by natural photosynthesis, several molecular photovoltaic (artificial photosynthetic) systems were developed and investigated within the current research. These molecular ...
Molecular phylogenetic characterization of microbial community dynamics associated with freshwater stream environmental organic matter sources
(2011-11-30)
The effects of various biotic and abiotic factors on microbial community dynamics during leaf breakdown were assessed through a series of in situ leaf breakdown studies within the Fort Benning Military Installation (FBMI), ...
Molecular predictors of the hypertrophy response to resistance training in young untrained female adults
(2022-07-13)
We determined if the myofibrillar protein synthetic (MyoPS) response to a naïve resistance exercise (RE) bout, or chronic changes in satellite cell number and muscle ribosome content, varied in females that classified as ...
Molecular Research on two Orthotospoviruses Infecting Important Legumes in Alabama.
(2024-04-25)
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea. L) is a major crop in the United States, especially in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, where they produce two-thirds of the peanut total production in the US. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is ...
Molecular Responses of Giardia lamblia to Gamma-Irradiation
(2008-08-15)
Giardia lamblia (syn intestinalis, syn duodenalis) is an important human pathogen and the etiological agent of giardiasis, the most common gastrointestinal disease in the world. Since its discovery in 1681, Giardia has ...
Molecular signatures and cellular differences in granulosa cells from fertile and subfertile beef heifers
(2023-06-23)
Subfertility is a leading contributor to economic losses in the cow-calf sector of the beef cattle industry. Cow-calf producers invest significant time and financial resources in the selection and development of replacement ...
The Molecular Underpinning of Life-History Evolution: Roles of the IIS network and the Building of a Reptilian Model
(2021-07-12)
The Insulin and Insulin-like Signaling (IIS) network regulates cellular processes including pre- and post-natal growth, cellular development, wound healing, reproduction, and longevity. Despite their importance on the ...
Molecular, physiological, and organismal-level effects of thermal stress in corkscrew sea anemones Bartholomea annulata
(2020-07-20)
Changing ocean dynamics in the form of increasing seawater temperature are having drastic effects on the symbiotic relationships of coral reef cnidarians, causing them to bleach and die at increasing frequencies. Most ...
Molecular-Level Modeling of Thermal Transport Mechanisms within Carbon Nanotube/Graphene-based Nanostructure-enhanced Phase Change Materials
(2014-07-29)
The mechanisms of nanoscale thermal transport within nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) and nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM) are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
To begin, ...
MOMENTS
(2017-05-15)
People are consumed with speed: work quickly, play quickly, love quickly. Something we do want to do quickly, but not everything. Apparently, many people are misleading by the pursuit of quality of life that they suffer ...
Monitoring and Evaluation of Alabama’s First Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated Bridge System
(2018-10-31)
Geosynthetic reinforced soil-integrated bridge systems (GRS-IBS) use closely spaced layers of geosynthetic reinforcement and compacted granular backfill to directly support the bridge deck and blend the abutment and roadway ...
Monitoring Moisture Content and Mass Flow of Wood Chips Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography
