Metacognitive insight into cognitive performance in Huntington's disease gene carriers.
OBJECTIVES: Insight is an important predictor of quality of life in Huntington's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. However, estimating insight with traditional methods such as questionnaires is challenging and...

Artefactual nanoparticle activation of the inflammasome platform
AIM: To determine whether in vitro experimental conditions dictate cellular activation of the inflammasome by apatitic calcium phosphate nanoparticles. MATERIAL & METHODS: The responses of blood-derived primary human cells to in...
A stochastic approach to unitary coupled cluster.
Unitary coupled cluster (UCC), originally developed as a variational alternative to the popular traditional coupled cluster method, has seen a resurgence as a functional form for use on quantum computers. However, the number of...
Tear ferning in normal dogs and dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca
This study evaluates tear ferning as an ancillary technique for the evaluation of the canine tear film in normal eyes
and eyes affected by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Thirty dogs with KCS and 50 control dogs with normal...
Two–dimensional viscoplastic dambreaks
We report the results of computations for two–dimensional dambreaks of viscoplastic fluid, focusing on the phenomenology of the collapse, the mode of initial failure, and the final shape of the slump. The volume-of-fluid method...
Factors Influencing Security Incidents on Personal Computing Devices
Organizations expect their employees to connect securely to the organization's computer systems. Often these employees use their personal computers to access the organization's networks. This research explores whether these same...

Stable and unstable miscible displacements in layered porous media.
The effect of permeability heterogeneities and viscosity variations on miscible displacement processes in porous media is examined using high-resolution numerical simulations and reduced theoretical modelling. The planar...
The Effect of Convective Injection of Ice on Stratospheric Water Vapor in a Changing Climate
Abstract: Stratospheric water vapor affects the Earth's radiative balance and stratospheric chemistry, yet its future changes are uncertain and not fully understood. The influence of deep convection on stratospheric water vapor...

Jul 30, 2018
Eukaryotes and bacteria can be infected with a wide variety of RNA viruses. On average, these pathogens share little sequence similarity and use different replication and transcription strategies. Nevertheless, the members of...
Initiation, Elongation, and Realignment during Influenza Virus mRNA Synthesis.
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of the influenza A virus replicates and transcribes the viral genome segments in the nucleus of the host cell. To transcribe these viral genome segments, the RdRp "snatches" capped RNA...
A physiological increase in maternal cortisol alters uteroplacental metabolism in the pregnant ewe.
KEY POINTS: Fetal nutrient supply is dependent, in part, upon the transport capacity and metabolism of the placenta. The stress hormone, cortisol, alters metabolism in the adult and fetus but it is not known whether cortisol in...
