Gonad differentiation in zebrafish is regulated by the canonical Wnt signalling pathway
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2014)
Zebrafish males undergo a ‘‘juvenile ovary-to-testis’’ gonadal transformation process. Several genes, including nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A (nr5a) and anti-Mu¨ llerian hormone (amh), and pathways such as Tp53-mediated ...
An Fe@Fe3C-inserted carbon nanotube/graphite composite supportproviding highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles for ethanol oxidation
(Elsevier, 2014)
Iron/iron carbide-inserted carbon nanotube/graphite composite (Fe-C) was prepared by pyrolyzing amixture of melamine and iron (III) chloride to form a support for high loading of Pt nanoparticles as adirect ethanol fuel ...
Foreground contamination in Lyα intensity mapping during the epoch of reoinization
(IOP Science, 2014)
The intensity mapping of Lyα emission during the epoch of reionization will be contaminated by foreground
emission lines from lower redshifts. We calculate the mean intensity and the power spectrum of Lyα emission at
z ...
The air quality perceptions of the residents of Bayview, Mossel Bay
(NACA, 2014)
Background: In developing countries, it often occurs that little attention is given to air pollution emissions due to a lack of proper
town planning, household combustion processes, energy production and the continuous ...
Modelling human protein interaction networks as metric spaces has potential in disease research and drug target discovery
(BMC, 2014)
We have recently shown by formally modelling human protein interaction networks (PINs) as metric
spaces and classified proteins into zones based on their distance from the topological centre that hub proteins are
primarily ...
Genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of the organic cation transporter 1 gene (SLC22A1) in the Xhosa population of South Africa
(Brazilian Society of Genetics, 2014)
Human organic cation transporter 1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes and mediates the electrogenic transport of
various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including clinically important drugs. Genetic polymorphisms ...
Binary codes and partial permutation decoding sets from the odd graphs
(Walter de Gruyter, 2014)
For k ≥ 1, the odd graph denoted by O(k), is the graph with the vertex-set Ω{k}
, the set of all k-subsets of Ω =
{1, 2, . . . , 2k + 1}, and any two of its vertices u and v constitute an edge [u, v] if and only if u ∩ ...
A rare new species of the genus Wiborgiella (Crotalarieae, Fabaceae)
(Elsevier, 2014)
The new species Wiborgiella argentea is described. It is closely similar to Wiborgiella leipoldtiana and W. fasciculata
but differs in its single-stemmed habit, densely sericeous leaves, wing petals that are longer than ...
Performance of Richardson extrapolation on some numerical methods for a singularly perturbed turning point problem whose solution has boundary layers
(KOREAN MATHEMATICAL SOC, 2014)
Investigation of the numerical solution of singularly perturbed turning point problems dates back to late 1970s. However, due to the presence of layers, not many high order schemes could be developed to solve such problems. ...
Protein interaction networks as metric spaces: A novel perspective on distribution of hubs
(BMC, 2014)
In the post-genomic era, a central and overarching question in the analysis of protein-protein
interaction networks continues to be whether biological characteristics and functions of proteins such as lethality,
physiological ...
