Soil is the largest terrestrial store of carbon (C) making it a critical component of the global C cycle. To model global carbon budgets more accurately we need to understand dynamics and turnover of the many different functional soil C pools that exist in soil. Many different methods are used...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....

The relative rates of hydrogen atom abstraction from a series of
13 homoaryl and heteroarylmethanes by t-butoxy radical were determined at 70°C. The attacking radical was photochemically generated
from di-t-butyl peroxide. A relatively small range of relative rates
(factor of seven) has been found among the compounds studied. The
relative...
An existing database of relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions from the U.S. Atlantic coast lacked valid sea-level index points from Georgia and Florida. This region lies on the edge of the collapsing forebulge of the former Laurentide Ice Sheet making it an important location for understanding glacio-isostatic adjustment and the history...
