Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Herein, the potential deleterious biological effects of pristine and in vitro digested polystyrene (PS) MPs of varying sizes (i.e., 0.1, 1, and 10 µm) are systematically examined over a wide concentration range of 25–400 µg mL−1 on two human intestinal cell lines, namely Caco-2 and NCM 460. Specifically, significant internalization of 0.1 and 1 µm PS -MPs have been observed in both cell types 24 h postexposure. …”

Solder joint testing and failure analysis by Kang, Eng Tat.

“…These devices are also likely to undergo thermo-mechanical cycling during device processing and service and therefore, the joints are likely to have existing low-cycle fatigue cracks, which might adversely affect the joint mechanical integrity under various loading situations. …”

Time to fill up India’s strategic oil reserves by Narula, K

“…The first phase of its oil storage facilities, with a capacity of 5.3 million tonnes (Mt) (38.85 million barrels) is likely to be ready for commissioning in the first half of 2015; construction on the second phase, with a capacity of 12.5 Mt (roughly 90 million barrels) has been approved by the government. …”

Nuclear power in Saudi Arabia by Luciani, G

“…All of the above need to be pursued in parallel: hence my argument is not that nuclear power should be preferred to other solutions, but simply that it is likely to be part of the solution.…”

Euclidean terms in European languages, 1482–1703 by Wardhaugh, B

“…As well as the intrinsic interest of the formation and stabilization of a Euclidean tradition in these languages, the wide visibility of Euclidean material in the period makes it likely that the terminological choices made by early translators were influential in the wider formation of mathematical vocabularies in the languages concerned. …”

Adipose tissue fatty acid composition, serum lipids, and serum alpha-tocopherol in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients living on the island of Crete by Nikolakakis, N, Kounali, D, Tornaritis, M, Anastassou, A, Papadakis, E, Kassotakis, G, Kafatos, A
