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…

The census of vascular plants across a 10-year interval (1995-2005) at the fringe of a neotropical rainforest (Nouragues inselberg, French Guiana, South America) revealed that species richness decreased, both at quadrat scale (2 m(2)) and at the…

The tissue-specific pattern of expression directed by the H4A748 Arabidopsis histone promoter was investigated by analysis of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) activity in transgenic Arabidopsis containing H4A748-GUS gene fusions. As determined by…

The sediment and nutrient budget in the floodplain reach of the River Adour in southwest France has been examined over a 1-year period (1991-1992). Outputs of total suspended matter, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (i.e. nitrate+ammonium ions) and…

The charcoal and pollen stratigraphy of an annually laminated sediment of a small lake in eastern Finland (63 degrees 10'N, 30 degrees 58'E) was examined, and found to cover a period of 1300 years. The region around the lake is remote and nowadays…

Monoclonal antibodies were raised against a (1->3,1->4)-beta-glucan-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate. One antibody (BG1) selected for further characterization, was specific for (1->3,1->4)-beta-glucan, displaying no binding activity against a…

We tested a N-15 tracer technique to assess fine root production and mortality based on temporal measurements of the N-15 mass in fine root structural tissues and the N-15 concentration of the plant-available soil N pool. The results of a pilot…

The manifestation of major climatic events such as the timing of deglaciation and whether, or not, the Younger Dryas affected Andean systems has garnered considerable recent attention. Even the Holocene is rapidly emerging as a time of considerable…

Pollen from the upper 90 m of core OL-92 from Owens Lake is a climatically sensitive record of vegetation change that indicates shifts in the plant associations representing warm and cold desertscrub, pinyon-juniper woodland, and pine-fir forest…

A 1961-90 mean monthly climatology for Africa south of the Equator was constructed at a resolution of 0.5 degrees latitude/longitude for a suite of eight surface climate variables: minimum, maximum and mean air temperature; rainfall; sunshine hours;…

Chloroplast protein import is mediated by two hetero-oligomeric protein complexes, the Tic and Toc translocons, which are located in the inner and outer envelope membranes. At the inner membrane, many Tic components have been identified and…

In oak (Quercus) savannas in the Midwest region of the United States, fire Continues to play a significant role in its persistence within the landscape; however in southeastern Wisconsin, quantified fire history, records are limited. This Study…

Fossil rodent middens and wetland deposits from the central Atacama Desert (22 degrees to 24 degrees S) indicate increasing summer precipitation, grass cover, and groundwater levels from 16.2 to 10.5 calendar kiloyears before present(ky B.P.).…

Summary 1. Sedimentary remains of aquatic plants, both vegetative (turions, leaves, spines) and reproductive (fruits, seeds, pollen), may provide a record of temporal changes in the submerged vegetation of lakes. An independent assessment of the…
