We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

Infections with gastrointestinal parasites may be a major threat to lemurs kept in captivity, as they are a common cause of diarrhea. In this study, fecal egg count patterns and clinical signs associated with gastrointestinal nematodes were assessed…

Answering the fundamental ecological question of what determines animal abundance has become critical with the accelerating need for informed management plans for endangered species. A major difficulty in testing general hypotheses to account for…

Marker horizons of brick dust were established in 1986 in 26 salt marshes along the coast of Maine (USA). In 2003 we measured the sediment accumulation rates for the 17 year period in 11 relocated sites and obtained results varying from 1.4 to 4.2…

Multi-century sea-level records and climate models indicate an acceleration of sea-level rise, but no 20th century acceleration has previously been detected. A reconstruction of global sea level using tide-gauge data from 1950 to 2000 indicates a…

Widespread concerns about global biodiversity loss have led to a growing demand for indices of biodiversity status. Today, climate change is among the most serious threats to global biodiversity. Although many studies have revealed phenological…

A 30-year study of coral abundance, recruitment, and disturbance at several scales in space and timeObservations over a 30-yr period revealed a considerable degree of natural variation in the abundance of corals on Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Cover ranged from 80%, with a similar large range in colony density, at…

Yellow-bellied marmots Marmota flaviventris in the East River Valley of Colorado were live-trapped and individually marked annually from 1962 through 1993. These pooled data were used to produce a demography and life table for these years. Females…

Background: Virtually all well-documented remains of early domestic dog (Canis familiaris) come from the late Glacial and early Holocene periods (ca. 14,0009000 calendar years ago, cal BP), with few putative dogs found prior to the Last Glacial…

The results of a long-term study of the Mute Swan Cygnus color in a 1440 km(2) area of the English Midlands are presented. During the period 1961 to 1999 the population varied between 213 and 551 birds with the numbers of pairs each spring ranging…

Digging ability in armadillos has been shown to be closely related to the relative length of the olecranon process of the ulna. This study uses geometric morphometrics to examine the relationship between humeral shape, digging ability and size in a…

Flying snake species (Chrysopelea) locomote through the air despite a lack of appendages or any obvious external morphological specialization for flight. Here photogrammetric techniques were used to investigate C. paradisi's aerial trajectory in…

As microprocessors enter the highly multi-core/multi-threaded era, higher density, lower latency embedded memory will be required to meet cache design needs. This paper describes a 500 MHz random cycle silicon on insulator (SOI) embedded DRAM macro…

Introduction: Computer simulations suggest that intercellular coupling is more robust than membrane excitability with regard to changes in and safety of conduction. Clinical studies indicate that SCN5A (excitability) and/or Connexin43 (Cx43,…

BACKGROUND: We conducted a 1-year follow-up of an original mail survey of early reactions to the World Trade Center disaster. METHOD: Of the 75 subjects originally surveyed, 58 (77%) responded. The survey included measures of dissociation…
