Widespread platinum anomaly documented at theYounger Dryas onset in North American sedimentary sequences
(2017-03-09)
Previously, a large platinum (Pt) anomaly was reported in the Greenland ice sheet at the Younger Dryas
boundary (YDB) (12,800 Cal B.P.). In order to evaluate its geographic extent, fire-assay and inductively coupled plasma ...
Vegetarian Diets in the Prevention and Management of Diabetes and Its Complications
(2017-05)
Epidemiological studies have found a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes among vegetarians compared to nonvegetarians. This reduced risk is likely a function of improved weight status, higher intake of dietary fiber, and ...
Partial cD25 antagonism enables Dominance of antigen-inducible cD25high FOXP3+ regulatory T cells as a Basis for a regulatory T cell- Based adoptive immunotherapy
(2017-12-14)
FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) represent a promising platform for effective adoptive immunotherapy of chronic inflammatory disease, including autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Successful Treg immunotherapy ...
Real earnings management activities prior to bondissuance
(2017-06-01)
We examine real activities manipulation by firms prior to their debt issuances andhow such manipulation activities affect bond yield spreads. We find that bond-issuing firmsincrease their real activities manipulation in ...
Re-analyses of “Algal” Genes Suggest a Complex Evolutionary History of Oomycetes
(2017-09-06)
The spread of photosynthesis is one of the most important but constantly debated topics in eukaryotic evolution. Various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the plastid distribution in extant eukaryotes. Notably, the ...

Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of using a liquid human milk fortifier (LHMF) compared to a powdered human milk fortifier (PHMF) in preterm infants in the US from the perspective of third-party payers and ...
Range expansion of a fouling species indirectly impacts local species interactions
(2017-10-19)
We investigated how recent changes in the distribution and abundance of a fouling organism affected the strength of interactions between a commercially important foundation species and a common predator. Increases in the ...
