“Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

Creator:: Stoddart, Richard A.
Abstract:: This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

Key areas for conserving United States’ biodiversity likely threatened by future land use change

Creator:: Martinuzzi, S., Radeloff, V. C., Higgins, J. V., Helmers, D. P., Plantinga, A. J., and Lewis, D. J.
Abstract:: A major challenge for biodiversity conservation is to mitigate the effects of future environmental change, such as land use, in important areas for biodiversity conservation. In the United States, recent conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and partners have identified and mapped the nation's Areas of Biodiversity Significance (ABS), representing...

Evaluating the Return in Ecosystem Services from Investment in Public Land Acquisitions

Creator:: Kovacs, Kent, Polasky, Stephen, Nelson, Erik, Keeler, Bonnie L., Pennington, Derric, Plantinga, Andrew J., and Taff, Steven J.
Abstract:: We evaluate the return on investment (ROI) from public land conservation in the state of Minnesota, USA. We use a spatially-explicit modeling tool, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to estimate how changes in land use and land cover (LULC), including public land acquisitions for conservation, influence...

The α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Is Essential for Vertebrate Embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W., Ulatowski, Lynn, Labut, Edwin M., Lebold, Katie M., Manor, Danny, Atkinson, Jeffrey, Barton, Carrie L., Tanguay, Robert L., and Traber, Maret G.
Abstract:: The hepatic α-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) is required for optimal α-tocopherol bioavailability in humans; mutations in the human TTPA gene result in the heritable disorder ataxia with vitamin E deficiency (AVED, OMIM #277460). TTP is also expressed in mammalian uterine and placental cells and in the human embryonic yolk-sac, underscoring...

Amplification and dampening of soil respiration by changes in temperature variability

Creator:: Sierra, C. A., Harmon, M. E., Thomann, E., Perakis, S. S., and Loescher, H. W.
Abstract:: Accelerated release of carbon from soils is one of the most important feedbacks related to anthropogenically induced climate change. Studies addressing the mechanisms for soil carbon release through organic matter decomposition have focused on the effect of changes in the average temperature, with little attention to changes in temperature variability....

3,3'-Diindolylmethane Induces G₁ Arrest and Apoptosis in Human Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells

Creator:: Shorey, Lyndsey E., Hagman, Amanda M., Williams, David E., Ho, Emily, Dashwood, Roderick H., and Benninghoff, Abby D.
Abstract:: Certain bioactive food components, including indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) from cruciferous vegetables, have been shown to target cellular pathways regulating carcinogenesis. Previously, our laboratory showed that dietary I3C is an effective transplacental chemopreventive agent in a dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC)-dependent model of murine T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. The primary objective of the...

How should the completeness and quality of curated nanomaterial data be evaluated?

Creator:: Marchese Robinson, Richard L., Lynch, Iseult, Peijnenburg, Willie, Rumble, John, Klaessig, Fred, Marquardt, Clarissa, Rauscher, Hubert, Puzyn, Tomasz, Purian, Ronit, Åberg, Christoffer, Karcher, Sandra, Vriens, Hanne, Hoet, Peter, Hoover, Mark D., Hendren, Christine Ogilvie, and Harper, Stacey L.
Abstract:: Nanotechnology is of increasing significance. Curation of nanomaterial data into electronic databases offers opportunities to better understand and predict nanomaterials’ behaviour. This supports innovation in, and regulation of, nanotechnology. It is commonly understood that curated data need to be sufficiently complete and of sufficient quality to serve their intended purpose....

Accelerated Identification of Proteins by Mass Spectrometry by Employing Covalent Pre-Gel Staining with Uniblue A

Creator:: Mata-Gomez, Marco A., Yasui, Matthew T., Guerrero-Rangel, Armando, Valdes-Rodrıguez, Silvia, and Winkler, Robert
Abstract:: Background: The identification of proteins by mass spectrometry is a standard method in biopharmaceutical quality control and biochemical research. Prior to identification by mass spectrometry, proteins are usually pre-separated by electrophoresis. However, current protein staining and de-staining protocols are tedious and time consuming, and therefore prolong the sample preparation time...

Elemental Markers in Elasmobranchs: Effects of Environmental History and Growth on Vertebral Chemistry

Creator:: Smith, Wade D., Miller, Jessica A., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified skeletal structures (e.g. shells, otoliths) have proven useful for reconstructing the environmental history of many marine species. However, the extent to which ambient environmental conditions can be inferred from the elemental signatures within the vertebrae of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays) has not been...
