In the aquarium trade, corallimorpharians are commonly known as false corals or mushroom corals, but little is known about the biology of most species. Some species of corallimorpharians are dominant competitors for space ...
Environmental Toxins and Dopaminergic Neurotoxicity: Novel Neuroprotective Strategies
(2009-08-07)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to massive loss of dopamine in the striatum. Environmental and endogenous neurotoxins are implicated the ...
Environmentally Benign Mixing of Nanoparticles
(2009-12-02)
Due to the increased use of nanocomposites, nanocatalysts, and nano-pharmaceuticals, mixing at nanoscale has become important. Conventional mixing techniques can be classified into: (a) dry mixing (mechanical mixing), (b) ...
Environmentally Responsible Nomads: A guideline for the renovation of a recreational vehicle using sustainable principles
(2016-01-06)
There are people who would like to renovate an old recreational vehicle to create a personalized travelling or living experience. Although the restoration of recreational vehicles can be done in many ways, there are not ...
Enzymatic Formation of Colorants
(2007-12-15)
The aim of this research is to understand if colorants can be synthesized enzymatically, and if the formed products can be used in various applications. Several phenolic compounds were chosen and reacted in the presence ...
Epidemiology of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, causal agent of Sclerotinia Stem Rot, on SE US Brassica carinata
(2020-04-16)
Brassica carinata is a non-food oil seed crop currently being introduced to the Southeast US as a winter crop. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, causal agent of Sclerotinia Stem Rot (SSR) in oilseed brassicas, is the disease of ...
Epidemiology of target spot of cotton and tomato
(2017-11-28)
Target spot is a foliar disease of cotton caused by Corynespora cassiicola. This disease was first reported in Alabama in 2011. The overall goal of this study was to address the epidemiology of the target spot of cotton ...
Epidemiology of the virulence and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli from canine and feline clinical isolates.
(2014-12-17)
Escherichia coli resistance impacts the veterinary professional because of therapeutic failure and the public health significance. The lack of national monitoring programs in small animal practices limits evidence-based ...
Epigenomic and transcriptomic alterations of channel catfish exposed to DNA methyltransferase inhibitor and estradiol
(2021-07-23)
Teleost fish exhibit a great level of diversity of sex determination. With channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a lower teleost, sex determination genes have not been identified. However, the sex determination region ...
Equilibrium Calculation with Toroidal Flow in NIMEQ
(2018-07-19)
The focus of this work is to demonstrate the importance of incorporating toroidal rotation in calculating tokamak-like equilibria with axisymmetry. Specifically, this work will focus on showing the impact toroidal flow had ...
Equilibrium Concentrations of Major Cations and Total Alkalinity in Laboratory Soil-Water Systems
(2010-11-05)
Three kinds of soils and four kinds of water were used to prepare laboratory soil-water mesocosms. Soil-water mesocosms were prepared containing 5-cm deep layers of soil and 21 L of water from each of the four sources. ...
