Using Evidence-Based Paradigm to Iteratively Acquire the Overall Picture of Primary Research Question

Formulating a well-established research question is a key step to a PhD student. In this paper, evidence-based paradigm is applied to iteratively acquire the overall picture of primary research question based on the analysis of data in practice. A PhD student’s experience, centering on her chosen area-regression test selection, is conducted as a case study to open up the process. Sub-research q...

The big picture and the little picture

The big picture and the little picture The last quarter of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 have seen major changes in health legislation in the UK. Following the lead of many countries from around the world (New Zealand, Ireland, and Italy among others) the UK government, pushed along by individual members of Parliament, have decided to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces such as bars, pubs, a...

An overall picture of chemokine receptors: basic research and drug development.

Chemokine receptors belong to the transmembrane G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Although a major physiological role of chemokine receptors is for host defense by recruitment of lymphocytes to inflammatory sites, they are now found to be involved in more processes such as virus infection, tumor genesis and metastasis, and embryologic development. In this review, we show an overall pict...

Overall picture of expressed Heat Shock Factors in Glycine max, Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula

Heat shock (HS) leads to the activation of molecular mechanisms, known as HS-response, that prevent damage and enhance survival under stress. Plants have a flexible and specialized network of Heat Shock Factors (HSFs), which are transcription factors that induce the expression of heat shock proteins. The present work aimed to identify and characterize the Glycine max HSF repertory in the Soybea...
