In recent work, Andrews, Chan, and Kim extend a result of Garvan about even rank and crank moments of partitions to positive moments. In a similar fashion we extend a result of Mao about even rank moments of overpartitions. We investigate positive Dyson-rank, M₂-rank, first residual crank, and second residual...
Research progress to understand the role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in human health has been slow in coming. This is predominantly the result of several flawed approaches to study design, often lacking a full appreciation of the redox chemistry and biology of ascorbic acid. In this review, we summarize...
Previous studies have shown that there are differences in taste responses between various regions of the tongue. Most of those studies used a controlled "passive" tasting mode due to the nature of investigation. However, food is rarely tasted in a passive manner. In addition, recent studies have suggested that humans...
Production of Kþ mesons in charged-current νμ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is measured using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI beam at Fermilab. Timing information is used to isolate a sample of 885 charged-current events containing a stopping Kþ which decays at rest. The differential cross section in Kþ...
Large earthquakes on mid-ocean ridge transform faults are
commonly preceded by foreshocks[superscript 1–3] and changes in the
seismic properties of the fault zone³. These seismic precursors
could be linked to fluid-related processes[superscript 2,3]. Hydrothermal
fluids within young, hot crust near the intersection of oceanic
transform faults are probably in a...
Ocean acidification is predicted to occur first in polar oceans. We investigated the
saturation state of waters with respect to calcite (Wcal) and aragonite (Warg) in six sections
along an Arctic outflow pathway through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) and into
the northwestern Atlantic using dissolved inorganic carbon and total...
Objectives:
To examine the association between kidney function and all-cause mortality in octogenarians.
Design
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.
Setting:
Community.
Participants:
Serum creatinine and cystatin C were measured in 1,053 Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) All Stars participants.
Measurements:
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was determined using the Chronic...
The internationalization brought about by online finding aids and the United States’ expanding diverse population necessitates a renewed focus on representation and accessibility in archival research. The accessibility of archival resources depends on the language in which the content is offered to the public. Throughout the United States, the Spanish-speaking...
In 2002, oxygen isotope ratios of water (H2
18O/H2
16O), dissolved barium, and salinity were
measured in surface waters around northern North America to identify freshwater sources and to
provide a large-scale background for interpretation of regional inputs and processes. Oxygen isotope
ratios showed that precipitation, river runoff, and sea...
Cells of the ventrolateral dermomyotome delaminate and migrate into the limb buds where they give rise to all muscles of the limbs. The migratory cells proliferate and form myoblasts, which withdraw from the cell cycle to become terminally differentiated myocytes. The myogenic lineage colonizes pre-patterned regions to form muscle anlagen...
