Decreasing Abundance, Increasing Diversity and Changing Structure of the Wild Bee Community (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) along an Urbanization Gradient by Laura Fortel (614514)

“…Landscape structure within three different radii was measured at each study site. We captured 291 wild bee species. The abundance of wild bees was negatively correlated with the proportion of impervious surface, while species richness reached a maximum at an intermediate (50%) proportion of impervious surface. …”

Substitution of a lysine residue at position 8 of two model 9mer H2-K^b epitope precursors leads to a marked decrease of N-terminus trimming by ERAP1 <i>in vitro</i>. by Irini Evnouchidou (375919)

“…Note that in both cases, substituting an alanine for the lysine at position 8, leads to a decrease of N-terminus trimming rate by about 8–10 fold.…”

Survivorship of zebrafish embryos decreased and malformations increased across all treatment time periods as PCP concentrations increased. by Aleeza Namit (12295157)

Factors associated with abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (decreased or increased) in patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit by Dong Geum Shin (6019568)

“…<div><p>Background</p><p>Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is known to show cardiac dysfunction in patients with sepsis. Both a decrease or an increase in ejection fraction (EF), an indicator of cardiac function, can occur. …”

Inhibition of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Activation Decreases Survival of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> in Human Macrophages by Xiyuan Bai (407197)

“…Inhibition of the executioner protease caspase-3 or of the autophagic pathway significantly abrogated the effects of BAY. We conclude that NFκB inhibition decreases viability of intracellular <i>MTB</i> in human macrophages via induction of apoptosis and autophagy.…”

Exercise testing criteria to diagnose lower extremity peripheral artery disease assessed by computed-tomography angiography by O. Stivalet (6890189)

“…The receiver-operating-characteristic curve was used to define a cut-off point corresponding to the best area under the curve (AUC; [CI95%]) to detect arterial stenosis ≥50% as determined by the CTA.…”

Thyromental height test as a new method for prediction of difficult intubation with double lumen tube by Piotr Palczynski (5745908)

“…The optimal sensitivity and specificity values of thyromental height test were met with a cut off value of 50 mm. With 1 mm increase in thyromental height test, risk of difficult intubation decreased by 7%.…”

OP50 <i>E. coli</i>-fed nematodes are generally healthy while pathogen-fed worms demonstrate a decrease in overall health. by Michelle R. Bond (669241)

“…(B) The average pumping rate for nematodes fed <i>P. aeruginosa</i> is decreased when compared to N2 animals fed OP50. Worms with a <i>pmk-1(km25)</i> background exhibit the largest decrease in pumping rate. …”

Sequence of <i>DpAP2</i> promoter. by Lingru Ruan (18995544)

“…Carotenoid biosynthesis was enhanced by <i>DpAP2</i> overexpression (1.4930 fold of control) and exogenous substances such as GA3 (1.5889 fold of control), which laid a foundation for massive accumulation of carotenoids in microalgae. …”
