A critical look at the mass-metallicity-star formation rate relation in the local universe. I. An improved analysis framework and confounding systematics
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2014)
It has been proposed that the (stellar) mass-(gas) metallicity relation of galaxies exhibits a secondary dependence on star formation rate (SFR), and that the resulting M∗-Z-SFR relation may be redshift-invariant, i.e., ...
Unpacking physics representations: Towards an appreciation of disciplinary affordance
(American Physical Society, 2014)
This theoretical article problematizes the access to disciplinary knowledge that different physics
representations have the possibility to provide; that is, their disciplinary affordances. It is argued that
historically ...
Recalibrating the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) W4 Filter
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)
We present a revised effective wavelength and photometric calibration for the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
W4 band, including tests of empirically motivated modifications to its pre-launch laboratory-measured ...
Antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities of the leaf methanol extract of ruta graveolens l. (rutaceae) in mice and rats
(African Networks Ethnomedicines, 2014)
Ruta graveolens has been used to treat toothache, earache, rheumatism and fever with little scientific evidence corroborating these uses. The leaf methanol extract of Ruta graveolens was evaluated for antinociceptive ...
RAMICS: Trainable, high-speed and biologically relevant alignment of high-throughput sequencing reads to coding DNA
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
The challenge presented by high-throughput sequencing necessitates the development of novel
tools for accurate alignment of reads to reference sequences. Current approaches focus on using heuristics to map reads quickly ...
Porolithon improcerum (porolithoideae, corallinaceae) and mesophyllum macroblastum (melobesioideae, hapalidiaceae): New records of crustose coralline red algae for the Southwest Atlantic Ocean
(Magnolia Press, 2014)
Here we describe in detail two crustose coralline red algal (CCA) species newly reported for the southern Atlantic:
Porolithon improcerum and Mesophyllum macroblastum. Porolithon improcerum was recorded on the remote ...
Causes and patterns of morbidity and mortality in Afghanistan: Joint estimation of multiple causes in the neonatal period
(Springer, 2014)
This paper focuses on investigating the leading cause(s) of death and preventable factors in Afghanistan,
using data from verbal autopsies of infant deaths. We are of the view that the presence
of a disease in a person ...
The potential of leucosidea sericea against propionibacterium acnes
(Elsevier, 2014)
The present study reports on the potential of Leucosidea sericea addressing acne vulgaris. Four known compounds namely phytol acetate, triacontanol, phytol and alpha kosin and one new compound namely, (E)-3,7,11,15-tetra ...
