Q-pcr based culture-independent enumeration and detection of enterobacter: an emerging environmental human pathogen in riverine systems and potable water
(Frontiers Media SA, 2016-02-17)The availability of safe and pristine water is a global challenge when large numbers of natural and anthropogenic water resources are being depleted with faster rate. The remaining water resources are severely contaminated ... -
Qtrim: a novel tool for the quality trimming of sequence reads generated using the roche/454 sequencing platform
(Springer Nature, 2014-01-01)Background: Many high throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches, such as the Roche/454 platform, produce sequences in which the quality of the sequence (as measured by a Phred-like quality scores) decreases linearly across a ... -
Quality of care and practice patterns in anaemia management at specialist kidney clinics in ireland: a national study
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-07-13)Background: Although anaemia is a common complication of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), knowledge of quality of care and management practices in specialist clinics varies. We examined anaemia practices at specialist ... -
Quantification of the carbonaceous matter origin in submicron marine aerosol by <sup>13</sup>c and <sup>14</sup>c isotope analysis
(Copernicus GmbH, 2011-08-23)Dual carbon isotope analysis of marine aerosol samples has been performed for the first time demonstrating a potential in organic matter apportionment between three principal sources: marine, terrestrial (non-fossil) and ... -
Quantifying patient preferences for symptomatic breast clinic referral: a decision analysis study
(BMJ, 2018-05-01)Objectives Decision analysis study that incorporates patient preferences and probability estimates to investigate the impact of women's preferences for referral or an alternative strategy of watchful waiting if faced with ... -
Quantifying phenotype-environment matching in the protected kerry spotted slug (mollusca: gastropoda) using digital photography: exposure to uv radiation determines cryptic colour morphs
(Springer Nature, 2017-07-10)Background: Animal colours and patterns commonly play a role in reducing detection by predators, social signalling or increasing survival in response to some other environmental pressure. Different colour morphs can evolve ... -
Quantifying relationships between video observations of cold-water coral cover and seafloor features in rockall trough, west of ireland
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2009-01-26)Cold-water coral distributions are only partially understood even in the most well-studied areas. This is partly due to the only recent development of appropriate technology, and partly to the high cost and time associated ... -
Quantifying the influence of surface water–groundwater interaction on nutrient flux in a lowland karst catchment
(Copernicus GmbH, 2016-06-01)Nutrient contamination of surface waters and groundwaters is an issue of growing importance as the risks associated with agricultural run-off escalate due to increasing demands on global food production. In this study, the ... -
Quantitative analysis of azaspiracids in azadinium spinosum cultures
(Springer Nature, 2012-02-26)Azaspiracids (AZAs) are secondary metabolites of Azadinium spinosum that can accumulate in shellfish and cause food poisoning when consumed. We describe here an analytical procedure for the determination of AZAs in cultures ... -

Quantum lie algebra solitons
(IOP Publishing, 2013-11-29)We construct a special type of quantum soliton solutions for quantized affine Toda models. The elements of the principal Heisenberg subalgebra in the affinised quantum Lie algebra are found. Their eigenoperators inside the ... -
Quantum walks on two kinds of two-dimensional models
(Springer Nature, 2015-01-21)In this paper, we numerically study quantum walks on two kinds of two-dimensional graphs: cylindrical strip and Mobius strip. The two kinds of graphs are typical two-dimensional topological graph. We study the crossing ... -

Quartz-amethyst hosted hydrocarbon-bearing fluid inclusions from the green ridge breccia in the snoqualmie granite, north cascades, wa, usa
(MDPI AG, 2017-09-19)The Green Ridge Breccia cuts the composite Miocene Snoqualmie Batholith in King County, WA, USA. The granite was emplaced at similar to 5 km depth between similar to 17 and 20 Ma and the crosscutting NW trending breccia ... -

Rac1 in keratinocytes regulates crosstalk to immune cells by arp2/3-dependent control of stat1
(The Company of Biologists, 2012-09-06)Crosstalk between keratinocytes and immune cells is crucial for the immunological barrier function of the skin, and aberrant crosstalk contributes to inflammatory skin diseases. Using mice with a keratinocyte-restricted ... -
Radiation-induced alterations of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-04-02)While human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), either in the bone marrow or in tumour microenvironment could be targeted by radiotherapy, their response is poorly understood. The oxic effects on radiosensitivity, cell cycle ... -
Radiative transfer of hcn: interpreting observations of hyperfine anomalies
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-04-15)Molecules with hyperfine splitting of their rotational line spectra are useful probes of optical depth, via the relative line strengths of their hyperfine components. The hyperfine splitting is particularly advantageous ...
