Upregulation of PSCDBP, TLR2, TWIST1, FLJ35382, EDNRB, and RGS12 gene expression in human myometrium at labor.
(Sage, 2008)
The regulatory mechanisms underlying myometrial smooth muscle contractility during labor are poorly understood. The authors therefore investigated the transcriptional profile of the changes that occur in the human myometrium ...
Expression of RHOGTPase regulators in human myometrium
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008-01-11)
Background: RHOGTPases play a significant role in modulating myometrial contractility in
uterine smooth muscle. They are regulated by at least three families of proteins, RHO guanine
nucleotide exchange factors (RHOGEFs), ...
What is the future for marine protected areas in Irish waters?
(Royal Irish Academy, 2008)
The UK and Ireland, in common with most other European states, are in the middle of a period of rapid expansion in the number of marine protected areas (generally as Special Areas of Conservation, SACs, to meet the EU ...
Transmitting and Gathering Streaming Data in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks within Expected Network Lifetime
(Springer Science, 2008)
Using multimedia sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can significantly enhance the capability of WSNs for event description. Different kinds of holes can easily appear in WSNs. How to efficiently transmit ...
The persistent spatial patchiness of limpet grazing
(Elsevier, 2008)
The characteristic variability of grazing has potential consequences for intertidal productivity and community structure, particularly as many of the underlying functional relationships are thought to be non linear. As a ...
Dispersal mode and assessments of recovery on the shores of Gruinard, the 'anthrax island'.
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Formaldehyde run-off was an unintended impact of the anthrax decontamination procedure on the island of Gruinard. The death of intertidal organisms was observed where formaldehyde reached the shore during 1986. The extent ...
Human Flourishing: The Grounds of Moral Judgment
(Springer, 2008)
Characterising the marine Natura 2000 network for the Atlantic region
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008)
1. One of the goals for Natura 2000, a key European Community programme of nature conservation, is to produce a network of protected areas. An analysis of the Natura 2000 marine sites proposed in the most recently agreed ...
Estimating Catchment Area Population Indicators Using Network Analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-11)
This paper proposes an approach to estimating catchment area population indicators (CAPIs) using geographic information system (GIS)-based network analysis. Specifically, it considers how 'GeoDirectory', a geodatabase ...
Infrastructure for Dynamic Knowledge Integration -- Automated Biomedical Ontology Extension Using Textual Resources
(Elsevier, 2008)
We present a novel ontology integration technique that explicitly takes the dynamics and data-intensiveness of e-health and biomedicine application domains into account. Changing and growing knowledge, possibly contained ...
