Bimodal discrimination tasks involving different hierarchical processing levels reveal a late stage interaction between multisensory integration and attention
(2014-12-19)Multisensory integration and attention have been studied independently and a vast amount of literature exists for both phenomena. Researchers have recently raised questions, however, as to how these two processes interact. ... -
Bio based phenolic resins and adhesives derived from forestry residues wastes and lignin
(2012-11-10)The work presented here aims to produce bio-phenolic compounds from forestry biomass (residues, wastes and lignin), and substitute petroleum-based phenol with the bio-phenolic compounds to produce high quality bio-based ... -
Bioconversion of agricultural residues into value-added products by pectinase-producing bacteria and expression of pectinase gene in E. coli for biomass valorization
(2023)Pectinase is a group of enzymes that degrade pectin and is one of the most influential industrial enzymes, which helps produce varieties of good-quality products. These enzymes are ecofriendly, highly specific, sustainable, ... -
Bioconversion of crude glycerol to biofuels and value-added bioproducts
(2017)Increasing demand and the rising cost of fossil fuels, as well as a concern for global climate change have shifted global efforts to utilize renewable resources for the production of a ‘greener’ energy replacement. Biodiesel, ... -
Bioenergetic evaluation of a whole-lake nanosilver addition on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(2018)Nanosilver (nAg) is an antibacterial and antimicrobial agent. Its wide use in hundreds of commercial products and industrial applications suggests a high potential for release into the environment. Previous research indicates ... -

Biogenic lead levels in human skeletal remains from the cemetery of the British Royal Navy hospital (1793-1822CE) at English Harbour, Antigua West Indies
(2015)Though lead has been known to be a cause of human poisoning since ancient times, it was a widely used metal. The relationship between ancestry or age and lead exposure in the Colonial period of Antigua, West Indies was ... -
Biological activities of select North American lichens
(2017)The search for novel, pharmacologically significant compounds is a perpetual quest on which biologists, chemists, and bioinformaticians incessantly embark. The sources of these compounds are often of natural origin, making ... -
Biological studies of muramyl dipeptide analogues as potential ligands for NOD2 receptor
(2023)The human body’s survival against various foreign disease-causing organisms solely depends on the protection provided by our body's immune system. Our body's complex yet effective immune system comprises cells, molecules ... -
Biomechanical constraints on intra-limb coordination in boys with and without development coordination disorder
(2012-11-10)It is known that children with DCD have difficulties organizing actions involving coordination between limbs or limb pairs (e.g., Astill, 2007; Volman, Laroy, & Jongmans, 2006). It is also apparent that a coalition of ... -
The biomechanical effects of rotator cuff taping on muscle activity and throwing velocity in fatigued baseball players
(2020)Introduction: Due to the repetitive, high forces and torques placed on an individual during a baseball pitch, shoulder pain is present in 46-57% of pitchers. Therapeutic taping has been used in various sports including ... -
Bioremediation of contaminated soils from mine sites using native plants in Northwestern Ontario
(2016)Practical and scientific importance can be found in this research topic since the results directly apply to remediation of industrial and mined lands in the boreal forest region. Plants suitable for phytostabilization of ... -
Biosynthesis of ω–hydroxy fatty acid polyesters in Nicotiana tabacum stigmas
(2023)The aerial surfaces of all land plants are covered by hydrophobic lipid barriers that contain a core structure of polyesters derived from hydroxy fatty acids and glycerol. One type of surface lipid polyester is found in ... -
Bisphenol A : how media and special interest groups influenced the ban on BPA
