Low-molecular-weight metabolite systems chemistry
(2015)
Low-molecular-weight metabolites (LMWMs) comprise primary or central and a plethora of intermediary or secondary metabolites, all of which are characterized by a molecular weight below 900 Dalton. The latter are especially ...

Does habitat disturbance affect stress, body condition and parasitism in two sympatric lemurs?
(2016)
Understanding how animals react to human-induced changes in their environment is a key question in conservation biology. Owing to their potential correlation with fitness, several physiological parameters are commonly used ...

Interpretable Multiclass Models for Corporate Credit Rating Capable of Expressing Doubt
(2016)
Corporate credit rating is a process to classify commercial enterprises based on their creditworthiness. Machine learning algorithms can construct classification models, but in general they do not tend to be 100% accurate. ...
Journal Article
Stable isotope analysis (δ (13)C and δ (15)N) of soil nematodes from four feeding groups.
(2016)
Soil nematode feeding groups are a long-established trophic categorisation largely based on morphology and are used in ecological indices to monitor and analyse the biological state of soils. Stable isotope ratio analysis ...

A Field-Deployable Reverse Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for Rapid Detection of the Chikungunya Virus.
(2016-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus currently transmitted in about 60 countries. CHIKV causes acute flu-like symptoms and in many cases prolonged musculoskeletal and joint pain. Detection of the ...

Neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis: Seeing differences through optical coherence tomography.
(2015-05-01)
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that preferentially targets the optic nerves and spinal cord. The clinical presentation may suggest multiple sclerosis (MS), ...

Postextrasystolic blood pressure potentiation predicts poor outcome of cardiac patients.
(2014-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Postextrasystolic blood pressure potentiation (PESP), the pulse wave augmentation after an extrasystolic beat, is typically enhanced in heart failure (HF) patients. This study prospectively tested the association ...

Processing Metrical Information in Silent Reading: An ERP Study
(2016)
Listeners are sensitive to the metric structure of words, i.e., an alternating pattern
of stressed and unstressed syllables, in auditory speech processing: Event-related
potentials recorded as participants listen to a ...

High-resolution UVES/VLT spectra of white dwarfs observed for the ESO SN Ia Progenitor Survey. III. DA white dwarfs
(2009)
Context. The ESO Supernova Ia Progenitor Survey (SPY) took high-resolution spectra of more than 1000 white dwarfs and pre-white
dwarfs. About two thirds of the stars observed are hydrogen-dominated DA white dwarfs. Here ...

Environmental variables controlling soil respiration on diurnal, seasonal and annual time-scales in a mixed mountain forest in Switzerland
(2009)
Studies on soil respiration in mountain forests are rather scarce compared to their broad distribution. Therefore, we investigated daily, seasonal and annual soil respiration rates in a mixed forest (Lägeren), located at ...
