Changes in Quality of Life (QOL) measures over time with treatment of obesity have not previously been described for youth. We describe the changes from baseline through two follow up visits in youth QOL (assessed by the ...
Expression of Bacteroides fragilis hemolysins in vivo and role of HlyBA in an intra-abdominal infection model
(2013-02-26)
Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from anaerobic infections. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the genetic and molecular aspects of gene expression of its virulence ...
Establishment of the Coast Range ophiolite microbial observatory (CROMO): Drilling objectives and preliminary outcomes
(2013-11-05)
Abstract. This project aimed to establish a subsurface microbial observatory in ultramafic rocks, by drilling into an actively serpentinizing peridotite body, characterizing cored rocks, and outfitting the boreholes for a ...

Production and Composition of Pyrogenic Dissolved Organic Matter From a Logical Series of Laboratory-Generated Chars
(2018-04-24)
Though pyrogenic carbon (pyC) has been assumed to be predominantly stable, degradation and transfers of pyC between various pools have been found to influence its cycling and longevity in the environment. Dissolution via ...
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis
(2013-10)
It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms remain largely ...
