From the database of
Essential Science IndicatorsSM, this list of Fast
Moving Fronts has been generated by a comparison of the data sets for the
current period of January 31, 2003-December 31, 2008, and the previous
period of November 30, 2002-October 31, 2008 (sliding 6-year period).
One Research Front was selected for mapping from the list of Fast Moving
Fronts from this period. They are:
Free fatty acids provide an important energy source as
nutrients, also acting as signalling molecules in
various cellular processes, including insulin
secretion.
BLOCH TYPE SPACES; WEIGHTED COMPOSITION OPERATORS;
BERGMAN TYPE SPACES
Boundedness and compactness of composition operators
followed by multiplication as operators between
Bloch-type spaces of analytic functions on the unit
disk..
Microbiology
LEADING BIOMASS PRETREATMENT
TECHNOLOGIES; NONCOMPLEXED CELLULASE SYSTEMS;
LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS
Cellulosic plant material represents an untapped source
of fermentable sugars for significant industrial use.
The expression of numerous miRNAs is cell- and
tissue-specific, which strongly suggests that miRNAs
may modulate lineage differentiation of cells from
different origins.
Multidisciplinary
HUMAN MICROBIOME PROJECT; GUT MICROBES; EVOLUTIONARY
PERSPECTIVE; HUMAN-MICROBE MUTUALISM
Understanding the microbial components of the human
genetic and metabolic landscape and how they contribute
to normal physiology and predisposition to disease.
Nitrogen oxide(s) storage/reduction catalysts have been
developed as an aftertreatment technology to reduce
nitrogen oxide emissions from lean-burn power sources.

GRAPEVINE GENOME SEQUENCE; ANCESTRAL HEXAPLOIDIZATION;
TRANSGENIC TROPICAL FRUIT TREE PAPAYA; MINING SEGMENTAL
GENOME DUPLICATIONS
Genomic variants represent a rich reservoir of
molecular resources useful in biotechnological
applications, development of alternative energy
sources, and mitigation of anthropogenic environmental
problems.
