Long-term nutrient enrichment of an oligotroph-dominated wetland increases bacterial diversity in bulk soils and plant rhizospheres.
(2020-05-20)In nutrient-limited conditions, plants rely on rhizosphere microbial members to facilitate nutrient acquisition, and in return, plants provide carbon resources to these root-associated microorganisms. However, atmospheric ... -
Trends in illegal wildlife trade: Analyzing personal baggage seizure data in the Pacific Northwest.
(2020-06-10)The illegal import of wildlife and wildlife products is a growing concern, and the U.S. is one of the world’s leading countries in the consumption and transit of illegal wildlife and their derivatives. Yet, few U.S. studies ... -

A shallow water ferrous-hulled shipwreck reveals a distinct microbial community.
(2020-08-19)Shipwrecks act as artificial reefs and provide a solid surface in aquatic systems for many different forms of life to attach to, especially microbial communities, making them a hotspot of biogeochemical cycling. Depending ... -
Screening of biocatalysts for synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone.
(2020-09-16)Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess “promiscuous” catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we ... -
Multihazard hurricane fragility model for wood structure homes considering hazard parameters and building attributes interaction.
(2020-09-22)Predicting building damage as a function of hurricane hazards, building attributes, and the interaction between hazard and building attributes is a key to understanding how significant interaction reflects variation hazard ... -
Hyaluronan regulates synapse formation and function in developing neural networks.
(2020-10-05)Neurodevelopmental disorders present with synaptic alterations that disrupt the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signaling. For example, hyperexcitability of cortical neurons is associated with both epilepsy and ... -
Long-term nutrient enrichment, mowing, and ditch drainage interact in the dynamics of a wetland plant community.
(2020-10-16)Fertilization studies have elucidated basic principles of the role of nutrients in shaping plant communities and demonstrated the potential effects of anthropogenic nutrient deposition. Yet less is known about how these ... -
Defragmentation of in-vitro fertilization blastocyst stage embryos leading to rescued blastocyst expansion and clinical pregnancy
(2020-10-19)Embryo fragmentation, or extrusion of cell fragments, is a naturally occurring phenomenon that may be associated with impaired embryo development, failed implantation and decreased pregnancy rates. Previous studies have ... -
In-hospital mortality trends among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the United States between 2013-2017: a comparison of academic and non-academic programs
(2020-11-07)Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating condition characterized by progressive lung function decline and early mortality. While early accurate diagnosis is essential for IPF treatment, data evaluating ... -
Oculomotor behavior as a biomarker for differentiating pediatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury and age matched controls.
(2020-11-12)Importance: Children have the highest incidence of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the United States. However, mTBI, specifically pediatric patients with mTBI, are notoriously difficult to detect, and with a reliance ... -
