This paper presents the SCOPE (Scientific Compound Object Publishing and Editing) system which is designed to enable scientists to easily author, publish and edit scientific compound objects. Scientific compound objects enable scientists to encapsulate the various datasets and resources generated or utilized during a scientific experiment or discovery process, within a single compound object, f...

Microplot experiments were conducted over two years (four growing seasons) to evaluate Meloidogyne incognita resistance in rootstocks used for grafted tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), muskmelon (Cucumis melo), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Three tomato rootstocks; 'TX301', 'Multifort', and 'Aloha', were tested in addition to the nongrafted scion, 'Florida-47'. Two muskmelon rootstocks; Cucu...

Malignant gliomas rank among the most aggressive human tumors. The hallmarks of these tumors include a highly infiltrative behavior, aberrant cell proliferation and apoptosis, in‐ creased angiogenesis and intratumoral as well as systemic immunosuppression [1, 2]. Pro‐ teases localized on the cell-surface or released extracellularly may significantly contribute to these characteristics by mediat...

THE MECHANICAL behavior of brittle matrix composites is strongly affected by the bridging of cracks by fibers. In random fiber composites, libers can lie at an angle to the crack plane. Under such conditions, the bridging stress for a certain crack opening is governed by various micromcchanisms including fiber debonding, fiber bending and rupture as well as matrix spailing. While fiber debondin...

nloaded rrant expression and polymorphism of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) has been linked to progression and anticancer drug resistance. We describe here a novel mechanism of tumor progression trix degradation involving epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in response to membrane-type 1 matrix oproteinase (MT1-MMP, MMP-14) induction at the edge of tumors expressing the FGFR4-R388...

We consider two problems that arise in designing external memory algorithms for solving large sparse systems of linear equations by direct factorization based methods Although our main interest is in the disk core interface also known as external internal or secondary primary conceptually this study ap plies to two adjacent layers of any hierarchical storage system In a two layer storage system...

Anthropogenic methane emissions originate from a large number of fine-scale and of1 ten transient point sources. Satellite observations of atmospheric methane columns are an attractive 2 approach for monitoring these emissions but have limitations from instrument precision, pixel reso3 lution, and measurement frequency. Dense observations will soon be available in both low Earth and 4 geostatio...

A novel pan-European marine model ensemble was established, covering nearly all seas under the regulation of Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), with aim providing a consistent assessment potential impacts riverine nutrient reduction scenarios on eutrophication indicators. For each sea region, up to five coupled biogeochemical models from institutes over Europe were brought together for...
