Repeated, Selection-Driven Genome Reduction of Accessory Genes in Experimental Populations by Ming-Chun Lee (123468)

“…It is generally unclear, however, whether the process of accessory gene loss is largely driven by drift or selection. Here we demonstrate that selection for gene loss, and not a shortened genome, per se, drove massive, rapid reduction of accessory genes. …”

Ductile Metallic Glass Nanoparticles via Colloidal Synthesis by Mehrdad T. Kiani (6086468)

“…The propensity for shear banding decreases with increasing particle size, such that large particles are more likely to deform homogeneously through gradual shape change. …”

DNA Methylation Dynamics in Blood after Hematopoietic Cell Transplant by Ramon M. Rodriguez (5653672)

“…<div><p>Epigenetic deregulation is considered a common hallmark of cancer. Nevertheless, recent publications have demonstrated its association with a large array of human diseases. …”

Quantitative Fracture Strength and Plasticity Measurements of Lithiated Silicon Nanowires by <i>In Situ</i> TEM Tensile Experiments by Akihiro Kushima (354129)

“…We report <i>in situ</i> tensile strength measurement of fully lithiated Si (Li–Si alloy) nanowires inside a transmission electron microscope. A specially designed dual probe with an atomic force microscopy cantilever and a scanning tunneling microscopy electrode was used to conduct lithiation of Si nanowires and then perform <i>in situ</i> tension of the lithiated nanowires. …”

Ion Flux in Roots of Chinese Fir (<i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> (Lamb.) Hook) under Aluminum Stress by Zhihui Ma (756058)

“…The results are as follows: with increased aluminum concentration and longer periods of aluminum stress, the H⁺ ion flow gradually changed from influx into efflux; there was a large variation in the K⁺ efflux, which gradually decreased with increasing duration of aluminum stress; and 1 h of aluminum stress uniformly resulted in Ca²⁺ influx, but it changed from influx to efflux after a longer period of aluminum stress. …”

Effectiveness of Protected Areas in Maintaining Plant Production by Zhiyao Tang (222933)

“…We use data on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a measure of variation in plant production in the core, boundary and surroundings of more than 1000 large protected areas over a 25 year period. …”

Effect of the Dihedral Angle of Biaryl-Bridged Bisphosphite Ligands on Enantioselectivity and Regioselectivity of Asymmetric Hydroformylation by Christopher J. Cobley (2236780)

“…Density functional theory calculations of a five-coordinate model complex (LRh(CO)₂H) show that decreased dihedral angles lead to smaller P−Rh−P bite angles. …”

Desynchronization of Neocortical Networks by Asynchronous Release of GABA at Autaptic and Synaptic Contacts from Fast-Spiking Interneurons by Frédéric Manseau (240922)

“…Since each FS cell contacts many P neurons, asynchronous release from a single interneuron may desynchronize a large portion of the local network and disrupt cortical information processing.…”

Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in human traumatic spinal cord injury-3 by Armin Buss (1848)

“…At 11 days after SCI, the amount of MMP-1 stained cells was dramatically decreased and only single round cells were detectable. 4 months after injury, large MMP-1 positive cells could be seen around the site of injury with the morphology of activated astrocytes. 8 months after SCI, identifiable neurons around the lesion site demonstrated a staining pattern similar to that of control cases.…”

Definition of the common core microbiota. by Jonna Jalanka-Tuovinen (211897)

“…These taxa were not part of the common core due to their large intra- and inter-individual variation. For boxplot details, please see the legend for <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0023035#pone-0023035-g004" target="_blank">Figure 4</a>.…”

3D comparison of dental arch stability in patients with and without cleft lip and palate after orthodontic/rehabilitative treatment by Jorge Tomasio CABALLERO (6853796)

“…Intergroup differences between T2 and T1 were compared between the groups using the t test or Mann-Whitney test with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). The intercanine distance variation (T2-T1) showed statistical difference (p=0.005) increasing in the FG group and decreasing in the CG group. …”
