Re-examining the premise of isobaric collisions and a novel method to measure the chiral magnetic effect
(2019-01-22)
In these proceedings we show that the premise of the isobaric and collisions to search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) may not hold as originally anticipated due to large uncertainties in the isobaric nuclear ...
Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
(2019-08-14)
Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have
the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐
nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ...
Widespread brain reorganization perturbs visuomotor coordination in early glaucoma
(2019-10-02)
Glaucoma is the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness, and falls are a major public health
concern in glaucoma patients. Although recent evidence suggests the involvements of the brain toward
advanced glaucoma ...
Mitsui-7, heat-treated, and nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes elicit genotoxicity in human lung epithelial cells.
(2019-10-07)
Background:
The unique physicochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have led to many industrial applications. Due to their low density and small size, MWCNT are easily aerosolized in the workplace ...
Kinetics and Identities of Extracellular Peptidases in Subsurface Sediments of the White Oak River Estuary, North Carolina
(2019-09-17)
Anoxic subsurface sediments contain communities of heterotrophic microorganisms that metabolize organic carbon at extraordinarily low rates. In order to assess the mechanisms by which subsurface microorganisms access ...
Mitochondrial PE potentiates respiratory enzymes to amplify skeletal muscle aerobic capacity
(2019-09-11)
Exercise capacity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity, its biggest contributor, adapts robustly to changes in energy demands induced by contractile activity. ...
MELPF version 1: Modeling Error Learning based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)
This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ...
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stages
(2019-12-05)
Nearly all aquatic ecosystems are affected by sublethal levels of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but other agents of large‐scale anthropogenic disruption of ecosystems have received more attention. Consequently, ...
Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviors Regarding Fruits and Vegetables among Cost-Offset Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) Applicants, Purchasers, and a Comparison Sample
(2019-12-06)
Data were collected in August, amid the summer CSA season, when shares include many of the summer FV preferred by low-income caregivers and their children [33], which may have contributed to the magnitude of the differences ...
Means and Long-Term Trends of Global Coastal Zone Precipitation
(2019-04-01)
Precipitation in the coastal zone is important to the socio-economic and ecological well-being of the world. Meteorologically, precipitation is generated by unique mechanisms at the land-sea interface, which is why coastal ...
