Historical Sources of Science-as-Social-Practice: Michael Polanyi's Berlin

Creator:: Nye, Mary Jo
Abstract:: Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...

Impact of soil water property parameterization on atmospheric boundary layer simulation

Creator:: Cuenca, Richard H., Ek, Michael, and Mahrt, Larry
Abstract:: Both the form of functional relationships applied for soil water properties and the natural field-scale variability of such properties can significantly impact simulation of the soil-plant-atmosphere system on a diurnal timescale. Various input parameters for soil water properties including effective saturation, residual water content, anerobiosis point, field capacity, and permanent...

Chronicle of a (Football) Death Foretold: The Imminent Demise of a National Pastime?

Creator:: Oriard, Michael
Abstract:: Football today, most conspicuously at the professional level (National Football League) is the economic and cultural colossus of American spectator sports. To speak of its “life cycle,” then, would seem nonsensical: although it has a clear “birth,” to speak of its “death” might seem ridiculously premature. Yet recent developments make...

Bacterio-opsin gene overexpression fails to elevate fungal disease resistance in transgenic poplar (Populus)

Creator:: Mohamed, Rozi, Meilan, Richard, Ostry, Michael E., Michler, Charles H., and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Overexpression of the bacterio-opsin (bO) gene in tobacco had previously been shown to induce hypersensitiveresponse- like lesions, increase viral and bacterial disease resistance, and stimulate pathogenesis-related gene expression. To see if this gene enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens of poplar, we generated a total of 35 transgenic lines in two...

Quantifying dilution and amplification in a community of hosts for tick-borne pathogens

Peroxiredoxins in Parasites

Creator:: Gretes, Michael C., Poole, Leslie B., and Karplus, P. Andrew
Abstract:: Significance: Parasite survival and virulence relies on effective defenses against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the host immune system. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous enzymes now thought to be central to such defenses and, as such, have potential value as drug targets and vaccine antigens. Recent Advances: Plasmodial and...

Climate-Change Infrastructure and the Volatilizing of American Regionalism

Creator:: Malewitz, Raymond
Abstract:: This essay argues that changes in American energy infrastructure from carbon-based power plants to distributed, renewable energy networks precipitate changes in American literary regionalism. Examining recent regional fiction including Jay Tyrell’s Wind Army, Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Tamarisk Hunter,” and Richard Powers’s The Echo Maker, I argue that stories of climate-change...

Abstract:: In early August 2014, the municipality of Toledo, OH (USA) issued a ‘do not drink’ advisory on their water supply directly affecting over 400,000 residential customers and hundreds of businesses (Wilson, 2014). This order was attributable to levels of microcystin, a potent liver toxin, which rose to 2.5 μg L⁻¹...

Historical Biogeography and Diversification of Truffles in the Tuberaceae and Their Newly Identified Southern Hemisphere Sister Lineage

Creator:: Bonito, Gregory, Smith, Matthew E., Nowak, Michael, Healy, Rosanne A., Guevara, Gonzalo, Cazares, Efren, Kinoshita, Akihiko, Nouhra, Eduardo R., Domınguez, Laura S., Tedersoo, Leho, Murat, Claude, Wang, Yun, Arroyo Moreno, Baldomero, Pfister, Donald H., Nara, Kazuhide, Zambonelli, Alessandra, Trappe, James M., and Vilgalys, Rytas
Abstract:: Truffles have evolved from epigeous (aboveground) ancestors in nearly every major lineage of fleshy fungi. Because accelerated rates of morphological evolution accompany the transition to the truffle form, closely related epigeous ancestors remain unknown for most truffle lineages. This is the case for the quintessential truffle genus Tuber, which includes...

Abstract:: •Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype–genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination. •We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa...

Abstract:: The cause of warming in the Southern Hemisphere during the most recent deglaciation remains a matter of debate[superscript 1,2]. Hypotheses for a Northern Hemisphere trigger, through oceanic redistributions of heat, are based in part on the abrupt onset of warming seen in East Antarctic ice cores and dated to 18,000...

Abstract:: Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce additional errors in simulated biomass and other fluxes. We evaluated simulated, daily average GPP from 26 models against estimated GPP at 39 eddy covariance flux tower sites...

Competitive Altruism Explains Labor Exchange Variation in a Dominican Community

Creator:: Macfarlan, Shane J., Remiker, Mark, and Quinlan, Robert
Abstract:: Smallholder farmers rely on labor exchange to generate agricultural work when cash is rare and credit unavailable. Reciprocal altruism, biased by genetic kinship, has been implicated as the mechanism responsible for labor exchange; however, few empirical tests confirm this proposition. Competitive altruism could be operating if people differ in ability...

Private Prisons in Public Discourse: Measuring Moral Legitimacy

Creator:: Burkhardt, Brett C.
Abstract:: New policies require legitimacy to survive. Prison privatization represents a policy challenged by initial perceptions of illegitimacy. In the 1980s, governments began to allow private firms to run correctional facilities, thereby shifting an inherently coercive, traditionally governmental function—incarceration—to the private sector. With data from 706 articles in four major American...

Unions Against Governments Explaining General Strikes in Western Europe, 1980–2006

Creator:: Hamann, Kerstin, Johnston, Alison, and Kelly, John
Abstract:: Across Western Europe, unions have increasingly engaged in staging general strikes against governments since 1980. This increase in general strikes is puzzling as it has occurred at the same time as economic strikes have been on the decline. We posit that theories developed to explain economic strikes hold little explanatory...
