A chromosome’s DNA is a single long thread, and like thread, it must be carefully spooled to keep it from becoming a hopeless tangle. In eukaryotes, that job falls to histones, proteins that link together to form barrel-shaped nucleosomes, around which DNA wraps to form the most fundamental level of chromosome structure. But histones are more than just an unvarying genomic scaffold. It is now c...

This paper looks into how 73 nonprofit organizations use Twitter to engage stakeholders not only through their tweets, but also through other various communication methods. Specifically, i...

The introduction of oral antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity extending to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other multiply antibiotic-resistant pathogens made the fluoroquinolones an attractive choice for empirical therapy for an extensive range of conditions. As a consequence there has been heavy and indiscriminate use of these agents ...

State-of-the-Art speech recognizers are typically trained on very large amounts of data, both transcribed speech and texts. With the recent growing interest in developing speech technologies for languages for which only small amounts of data are accessible, collecting appropriate data is a key issue in building new speech recognition systems. This article reports on an experimental study assess...

The purpose of this Special Issue on inclusive research is to capture international insights into the following questions: “How far have we come [...]
