A Genetic Mosaic Screen Reveals Ecdysone-Responsive Genes Regulating Drosophila Oogenesis
(2016-08)
Multiple aspects of Drosophila oogenesis, including germline stem cell activity, germ cell differentiation, and follicle survival, are regulated by the steroid hormone ecdysone. While the transcriptional targets of ecdysone ...
Applying Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership Principles to Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks
(2016)
With real-world relevance and translatability as important goals, applied methodological approaches have arisen along the
participatory continuum that value context and empower stakeholders to partner actively with academics ...
Does Land Degradation Increase Poverty in Developing Countries?
(2016-05-11)
Land degradation is a global problem that particularly impacts the poor rural inhabitants of low and middle-income countries. We improve upon existing literature by estimating the extent of rural populations in 2000 and ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-12-08)
The specific health effects of directinhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces
remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contribution
to ...
A 14-year longitudinal study of the impact of clean indoor air legislation on state smoking prevalence, USA, 1997-2010
(2017)
While clean indoor air legislation at the state level is an evidence-based recommendation, only limited evidence exists regarding the impact of clean indoor air policies on state smoking prevalence. Using state smoking ...
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-04)
Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ...
Resolving power of diffraction imaging with an objective: a numerical study
(2017-05)
Diffraction imaging in the far-field can detect 3D morphological features of an object for its coherent nature. We describe methods for accurate calculation and analysis of diffraction images of scatterers of single and ...
