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 problem of selecting parcels of land for inclusion within a protected reserve is formulated as a 0-1 programming model. The formulation addresses the objectives of minimizing cost and maximizing reserve area, while providing buffer zones around…

Long, continuous, marine sediment records from the subpolar North Atlantic document the glacial modulation of regional climate instability throughout the past 0.5 million years. Whenever ice sheet size surpasses a critical threshold indicated by the…

Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation dynamics in the American tropics are inferred largely from pollen in continental lake sediments. Maritime influences may have moderated climate and vegetation changes on Caribbean islands. Stable isotope…

PySAL is an open source library for spatial analysis written in the object-oriented language Python. It is built upon shared functionality in two exploratory spatial data analysis packages GeoDA and STARSand is intended to leverage the shared…

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…

The side chain carboxyl groups of acidic proteins found in the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) of mineralized tissues play a key role in promoting or inhibiting the growth of minerals such as hydroxyapatite (HAP), the principal mineral component of bone…

Oxygen isotopes are sensitive tracers of climate change in tropical regions. Abrupt shifts of up to 18 per mil in the oxygen isotope ratio of diatom silica have been found in a 14,000-year record from two alpine lakes on Mt. Kenya. Interpretation of…

High-resolution macroscopic charcoal analysis was used to reconstruct a 14,300-year-long Fire history record from the lower Columbia River Valley in southwestern Washington, which was compared to a previous vegetation reconstruction for the site. In…

The first paleoecological analysis of a complete sedimentary record spanning the period from the late Pleistocene to the present from lowland Panama, documents changes in lowland vegetation communities through major climatic change and the onset of…

I used data from a 14 year survey of the amphibian fauna (14 species) in Jasper County, Indiana, USA, to detect population and diversity trends, and to test hypotheses regarding the influence of landscape, climatic, and biotic factors on amphibian…

The historical seal populations at King George Island, Antarctica, for the past 1,500years, have been estimated from the seal-hair abundance, bio-element concentrations, total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) in one terrestrial sediment…

To reconstruct the profiles of heavy metal levels in the South Ocean ecosystem of Antarctica, the concentrations of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) in seal hairs and lake sediments spanning the past 1500 years from…

Abstract The reproductive success (RS) of 32 males in a captive group of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) between 1978 and 1992 was determined using paternity exclusion analysis. Dominance rank of each male over age 4 was assessed at the end of…

I compared understory bird community structure and composition among primary, slightly disturbed, and moderately disturbed forest in the East Usambara Mountains in Tanzania. Comparisons were conducted at two spatiotemporal scales: short term,…

A 174-kilodalton polypeptide of the Drosophila nuclear matrix-pore complex-lamina fraction has been identified as an ATPase/dATPase on the basis of direct UV photoaffinity labeling studies; a polypeptide with similar properties has been found in…

Different mutations in the Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 (BMP15) and the Growth Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9) genes cause increased ovulation rate and infertility in a dosage-sensitive manner in sheep. They cause increased ovulation rate and twin…

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…
