Comparative impacts of two major hurricane seasons on the Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound ecosystems
(2004-06-22)
Ecosystem-level impacts of two hurricane seasons were compared several years after the storms in the largest lagoonal estuary in the U.S., the Albemarle–Pamlico Estuarine System. A segmented linear regression flow model ...
Cloning of somatolactin alpha and beta cDNAs in zebrafish and phylogenetic analysis of two distinct somatolactin subtypes in fish
(2004-09-01)
Somatolactin (SL) is a pituitary hormone belonging to the growth hormone/prolactin superfamily, with recognizable homologues in all fish taxa examined to date. Although sequences from most fish share reasonably high sequence ...
Benthic community response to ice algae and phytoplankton in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard
(2006-04-03)
We assessed the digestibility and utilization of ice algae and phytoplankton by the shallow, subtidal benthos in Ny Ålesund (Kongsfjord) on Svalbard (79°N, 12°E) using chlorophyll a(chl a), essential fatty acids (EFAs) and ...
Bedside tool for predicting the risk of postoperative dialysis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(2006-11-06)
Estimation of an individual patient’s risk for postoperative dialysis can support informed clinical decision making and patient counseling.
Post-transcriptional Gene Silencing Induced by Short Interfering RNAs in Cultured Transgenic Plant Cells
(2004-05)
Short interfering RNA (siRNA) is widely used for studying post-transcriptional gene silencing and holds great promise as a tool for both identifying function of novel genes and validating drug targets. Two siRNA fragments ...
Low alpha power (7.5–9.5 Hz) changes during positive and negative affective learning
(2003-03)
There is evidence that the positive and the negative word lists of the Affective Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AAVL) are useful with regard to mood induction. To date, however, changes in brain activation, as indicated ...
Last Glacial Maximum in an Andean cloud forest environment (Eastern Cordillera, Bolivia): Comment and Reply
(2003-01)
Whether the climate of tropical South America during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was colder and drier or colder and wetter than present day has been widely debated. It is accepted, however, that the LGM in tropical South ...
Functional Genomics of Wood Quality and Properties
(2003-11)
Genomics promises to enrich the investigations of biology and biochemistry. Current advancements in genomics have major implications for genetic improvement in animals, plants, and microorganisms, and for our understanding ...

Voluntary stuttering suppresses true stuttering: A window on the speech perception–production link
(2004-02)
In accord with a proposed innate link between speech perception and production (e.g., motor theory), this study provides compelling evidence for the inhibition of stuttering events in people who stutter prior to the ...
