In post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, ubiquitination is considered one of the most critical processes in regulating cellular functions and various diseases. The identification of ubiquitination sites becomes very crucial for understanding the mechanisms of ubiquitination-related biological processes. Experimental and computational methods can be used to identify ubiquitination ...
The steady march of progress looks different to all, but in his doctoral dissertation Sam Bickley, Ph.D., measured the effect that a certain type of progress is having on tidal creeks. Rapid development along coastal areas, particularly residential and suburban expansion, can have significant implications for the surrounding environment. While existing protections and conservation efforts can ...
Microbes are present almost everywhere. They play a vital role in cycling carbon, release important compounds, and may be associated with infectious diseases. Metagenomics is the culture-independent genomic research of microbial communities. Metagenomics presents a powerful tool to study prokaryotes and viruses in the environment via the analysis of their DNA obtained directly from environmental ...

Herb- and plant-based medicines have been used for as long as 60,000 years, with the first written record dating to 7,000 years ago. While these medicines have survived scientific evaluation with varying success, one in four medications currently used has a plant-based origin. One of the most successful medications treats a vector-borne disease. With all this history, why aren’t we ...
The packaging materials used for pharmaceutical tablets are in direct contact with the pharmaceuticals. Therefore, as a pharmaceutical manufacturer, when selecting packaging materials, it is necessary to understand some properties and characteristics of packaging materials and containers, to ensure the efficacy and quality of medicines. What are the common pharmaceutical packaging materials? ...
Medical progress happens every day with new medicines, devices, and diagnostic tools steadily emerging. How can patients fully benefit from these? How can doctors and pharmacists stay up to date with the endless stream of pharmaceutical research? How can you make medical decisions when comparisons between all medicines are rarely available? Well, a network meta-analysis (NMA) might be the ...
There’s an island in northern Lake Michigan called Beaver Island. It sits roughly 30 miles offshore of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, part of an archipelago of other whimsically named islands (including Whiskey, Hog, Garden, and Hat). Roughly 500 hardy souls call Beaver Island home year-round, and the two townships that occupy the land support a small but stable economy that embodies the ...
The low mood, the lack of energy, the excessive feelings of guilt, shame, or hopelessness that come with depression can easily drive a person to withdraw from social interactions. The isolation, in turn, keeps positive experiences at a distance and worsens the depressive state. As you probably know, breaking a depressive spiral by doing the things you have avoided for some time is a big ...

ABSTRACT Synthetic data are becoming increasingly important mechanisms for sharing data among collaborators and with the public. Multiple methods for the generation of synthetic data have been proposed, but many have short comings with respect to maintaining the statistical properties of the original data. We propose a new method for fully synthetic data generation that leverages linear ...
I know…you’ve all been wondering – What has ISO 9001 done for me lately? Well, fasten your seat belts and get ready for a wild ride. The new ISO 9001:2015 standard is not just about compliance. It’s about implementing a Quality Management System that is practical, proactive, and progressive. With the release date of September 15, 2015, we, as quality professionals and ...
Linking science, policy and the public The atmosphere, weather patterns and seasonal variations have long been an object of fascination and observation. In the 4th century B.C., Aristotle’s treatise Meteorology compiled the great philosopher’s observations not only on the weather patterns, but on earth sciences in general. Until the 17th century, air symbolised ...
After a half-century of forming new states from former colonies and from the breakup of the Soviet Union, the international community is today focusing on the disintegration of states. The term “failing state” has entered our working vocabulary only during the last decade or so, but these countries are now an integral part of the international political landscape. In the past, governments have ...
Biodiversity prospecting, or bioprospecting, is the exploration of biodiversity for commercially valuable genetic and biochemical resources. The Convention on Biological Diversity recognises the sovereignty of nations over their bioresources and their rights to share in the benefits that accrue from commercialised bioproducts. Since the Convention was introduced in 1992, many biodiversity ...
