Identification and characterization of microRNAs expressed in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus life stages using high throughput sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Over the past several years, thousands of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in the genomes of various insects through cloning and sequencing or even by computational prediction. However, the number of ...
Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in detecting lumbo-sacral nerve root compromise: A systematic literature review
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: MRI is considered to be the diagnostic tool of choice in diagnosing nerve root compromise among patients presenting with clinical suspicion of lumbo-sacral radiculopathy. There exists controversy among researchers ...
Granny gets smarter but junior hardly notices
(College of Communication and Information, 2016)
To ensure that university computing students are sensitized to the needs of
diverse user groups, a course project was designed to allow students to get a
realistic understanding of the needs and abilities of the older ...
Does seasonality and stochastic cycles affect output growth in Nigeria? Lessons for development planning
(International Foundation for Research and Development (IFRD), 2016)
This paper examines the seasonality and stochastic cycle associated with GDP growth in Nigeria using two measures of filter. Our findings include, that the Christiano & Fitzgerald (2003) filter removed low-periodicity ...
Low microsatellites used to investigate leopard genetic structure severely restricts the results by Ropiquet et al. (2015) to infer population structure for managers
(Elsevier, 2016)
Low microsatellites used to investigate leopard genetic structure severely restricts the results by Ropiquet et al. (2015) to infer population structure for managers.
Women's education and health inequalities in under-five mortality in selected sub-Saharan African countries, 1990–2015
(PLOS, 2016)
The aim of the study was to analyse trends in the relationship between mother’s educational
level and mortality of children under the year of five in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 1990 to
2015.Data used in this study came ...
New insights in the evaluation of reserves of selected wells of the Pletmos Basin offshore South Africa
(One Petro, 2016)
The area evaluated has similar structural styles and settings as the producing neighboring fields of F-A and E-M in the adjacent Bredasdorp basin Offshore South Africa. The main objective of this study is to create a ...
Chromosomal-level assembly of the Asian seabass genome using long sequence reads and multi-layered scaffolding
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
We report here the ~670 Mb genome assembly of the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer), a
tropical marine teleost. We used long-read sequencing augmented by transcriptomics, optical
and genetic mapping along with shared ...
A designed experiments approach to optimizing MALDI-TOF MS spectrum processing parameters enhances detection of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter jejuni
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
MALDI-TOF MS has been utilized as a reliable and rapid tool for microbial fingerprinting at the genus and species levels. Recently, there has been keen interest in using MALDI-TOF MS beyond the genus and species levels to ...
Long-term eclipse timing of white dwarf binaries: an observational hint of a magnetic mechanism at work
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
We present a long-term programme for timing the eclipses of white dwarfs in close binaries to measure apparent and/or real variations in their orbital periods. Our programme includes 67 close binaries, both detached and ...
