dictyBase (http://dictybase.org) is the model organism database for the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. This contribution provides an update on dictyBase that has been previously presented. During the past 3 years, dictyBase has taken significant strides toward becoming a genome portal for the whole Amoebozoa clade. In its latest release, dictyBase has scaled up to host multiple Dictyos...

This article is written to promote a didactic idea of connecting computer-enabled experiential approach to K-12 mathematics with the applied, project-based teaching of undergraduate university mathematics as a way of encouraging students to participate in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) workforce of the future. It reviews current body of research on how to bring enginee...

Using data for 1991 to 1997 from the British Household Panel Survey we investigate the incidence of housing finance problems, evictions and repossessions. Previous research on repossessions and problematical housing debt has focused on cross-sectional data. This paper contributes uniquely to the literature by examining the sequence of household and individual events associated with housing arre...

Over the last decade, the Concentration, Asymmetry and Smoothness (CAS), as well as the M20 and GINI parameters have become popular to automatically classify distant galaxies in images. Ellipticals, spirals and irregular galaxies all appear to occupy different regions of this parameter space. At the same time, the Source Extractor (SE) program has become the mainstay to produce object catalogs ...

UNLABELLED Studies in animal models and epileptic patients have led to the suggestion that the basal ganglia (BG) are involved in seizures. PET with 6-18F-L-3,4-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-fluoro-L-DOPA) has recently demonstrated a reduction of striatal dopamine uptake in drug-resistant epileptic patients with ring chromosome 20 (r20) using a multiple-time graphical analysis. The aim of t...

Extreme rainfall and drought events attributed to climate change are anticipated occur in the current century, resulting frequent drying rewetting cycles (DWCs) soils, which will, turn, influence soil properties microorganisms. Sample plots of Sophora japonica, Pinus tabulaeformis, Ginkgo biloba were selected, undisturbed columns collected. CK was constant treatment; precipitation intensities R...

In this study, by replacing makgeolli in jeungpyeon manufacturing with won-ju (raw makgeolli) and standardizing the mixing ratio, it was intended to provide information that could suit consumers’ tastes utilize added value of (R10, R20, R30, R40 means amounts raw makgeolli). Raw content did not significantly differ moisture content. pH, L value, hardness gumminess decreased increasing addition ...
