The Association between Serum LDL Cholesterol and Genetic Variation in Chromosomal Locus 1p13.3 among Coronary Artery Disease Patients
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
Background. Several polymorphisms of a locus on chromosome 1p13.3 have a significant effect on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), atherosclerosis, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods. We aimed to investigate ...
K-shell photoionization of O+ and O2+ ions: Experiment and theory
(
American Physical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Absolute cross sections for the single and double K-shell photoionization of carbon like O2+ and nitrogen like O+ ions were measured in the 526–620-eV photon energy range by employing the ion-photon merged-beam technique ...
TiO2 nanotubes with ultrathin walls for enhanced water splitting
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of titania nanotubes
with ultrathin (3–5 nm) wall thickness. As revealed by the incident
photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and electrochemical
impedance ...
Crystal structure of (E)-2-{[(6-methoxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)imino]methyl}phenol
(
International Union of Crystallography
, 2015 , Article)
The title compound, C15H12N2O2S, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2). Each molecule consists of a 2-hydroxy Schiff base moiety linked through a spacer ...
A Mechanistic Neural Field Theory of How Anesthesia Suppresses Consciousness: Synaptic Drive Dynamics, Bifurcations, Attractors, and Partial State Equipartitioning
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
With the advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neurochemistry there has been impressive progress in understanding the molecular properties of anesthetic agents. However, there has been little focus on how the ...
Transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of adipocyte differentiation by Jumonji domain-containing protein 6
(
Oxford University Press
, 2015 , Article)
Jumonji domain-containing protein 6 (JMJD6) is a nuclear protein involved in histone modification, transcription and RNA processing. Although JMJD6 is crucial for tissue development, the link between its molecular functions ...
Assessing the effectiveness of a pharmacist-delivered smoking cessation program in the State of Qatar: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background:
It had been reported that up to 37% of the adult male population smokes cigarettes in Qatar. The
Global Youth Tobacco Survey also stated that 13.4% of male school students aged 13 to 15 years in Qatar smoke ...
Born small, die young: Intrinsic, size-selective mortality in marine larval fish
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of the natural variations in the size and recruitment strength of marine fish populations. In this study, the relation between the size-at-hatch and early survival was ...
An energy-efficient distributed clustering algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were envisaged to become the fabric of our environment and society. However, they are yet unable to surmount many operational challenges such as limited network lifetime, which strangle their ...
Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ...
