The Madden-Julian Oscillation: A Tool for Regional Seasonal Precipitation Outlooks?
(2017-09-20)
Abstract: The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is an important intraseasonal climate signal which circles the global tropics, but also impacts extratropical weather regimes. Few studies have investigated whether the MJO is ...
Transcriptional response to West Nile virus infection in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
(2017-06)
West Nile virus (WNV) is a widespread arbovirus that imposes a significant cost to both human and wildlife health. WNV exists in a bird-mosquito transmission cycle in which passerine birds act as the primary reservoir host. ...
Trial by Fire: On the Terminology and Methods Used in Pyrogenic Organic Carbon Research
(2017-11-17)
Our understanding of the cycling of fire-derived, i.e., pyrogenic organic matter (pyOM), as well as the goals of the community of researchers who study it, may be inhibited by the many terms and methods currently used in ...
Blood‐based markers of efficacy and resistance to cetuximab treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer: results from CALGB 80203 (Alliance)
(2016-09)
Circulating protein markers were assessed in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with cetuximab in CALGB 80203 to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic CRC ...
