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…

A survey of wild carnivores in Canada was conducted over a 10-year period to determine the prevalence and genotypes of Trichinella. Muscle samples collected from 1409 animals representing 15 hosts species were enzymatically digested to recover…

The Natufians of the southern Levant (15,00011,500 cal BP) underwent pronounced socioeconomic changes associated with the onset of sedentism and the shift from a foraging to farming lifestyle. Excavations at the 12,000-year-old Natufian cave site,…

This research examines how the controls of fire episode frequency in the northern Sierra Nevada have varied at different temporal scales through the Holocene. A 5.5 m long sediment core was collected from Lily Pond, a ~2.5 ha lake in the General…

An 80.4m ice core was recovered from a site at 6500m above sea level on the East Rongbuk Glacier, Mt. Qomolangma (Everest) in August 1998. A total of 1816 samples were analyzed for major ions (Ca Mg Na+,K+, NH4+,SO42-,NO3-, and Cl-) and stable…

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…

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…

Hybrid zones are natural experiments that expose the forces maintaining species differences. But for cases where a trait of one of the hybridizing pair appears shifted into the range of the other, the underlying mechanism can be difficult to infer.…

The Upo Wetland was designated an internationally important wetland by the Ramsar Convention and is the largest inland wetland on the Korean Peninsula. This study was conducted to reveal the environmental history of the wetland and its surroundings,…

We reconstruct prehistoric and historic human forest disturbance and vegetation change in southern Pacific Costa Rica, in the vicinity of the Las Cruces Biological Station and the La Amistad International Park and Biosphere Reserve. Pollen and…

In the Chinese feudal era, copper was widely used in coinage and weapons, and its production was coupled with political stability and economic prosperity. In the smelting process, copper was released into the environment and accumulated in the food…

Europe was officially declared free from malaria in 1975; nevertheless, this disease remains a potential problem related to the presence of former vectors, belonging to the Anopheles maculipennis complex. Autochthonous-introduced malaria cases,…

The weather forecast says that there is a "30% chance of rain," and we think we understand what it means. This quantitative statement is assumed to be unambiguous and to convey more information than does a qualitative statement like "It might rain…

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…

Fires are nowadays small, yet frequent, in temperate Central European conifer forests, but little is known about the fire history in this region. This is likely due to the lack of intact forests that contain old trees and dead wood from which fire…

Currently, the depiction of urban air quality at boundary layer scale uses modelled climatic and land cover data. However, such models are difficult to verify, and only low to moderate accuracy may be achieved due to the complexity of the input data…

With the development of modern cities, 3-D spatial information systems (SIS) are increasingly required for spatial planning, communication systems and other applications. The geometric information to be used in a spatial information system usually…

Sacca di Goro is a shallow coastal microtidal lagoon with a surface area of 26 km2, and an average depth of about 1.5m. Fresh water pollutant loads from Po River branches and several drainage canals lead to anthropogenic eutrophication, frequent…

A 3-D Lagrangian particle dispersion model including the photochemical reaction has been developed and implemented to the data obtained from the southern oxidants study field campaign to examine the capability of the present model. The model…
