BACKGROUND: Many commentators on ‘‘direct-to-consumer’’ genetic risk information have raised concerns that giving results
to individuals with insufficient knowledge and training in genomics may harm consumers, the health care system, and
society. In response, several commercial laboratories offering genomic risk profiling have shifted to more traditional ‘‘direct-to-provider’’ (DTP) marketing strategies,...

A wide variety of consumer products that are treated with poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and related formulations are disposed in landfills. Landfill leachate has significant concentrations of PFASs and acts as secondary point sources to surface water. Here, we model how PFASs enter leachate using four lab-scale anaerobic bioreactors...

This data report includes documentation of the Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) Experiment inherent optical property surveys on the continental shelf and slope in the Mid-Atlantic Bight south of Cape Cod, Massachusettes, USA. The surveys were conducted aboard the R/V Endeavor during two physical oceanography cruises: E9608 (14 August to...
1. Multidimensional trait frameworks are increasingly used to understand plant strategies for growth and survival. However, it is unclear if frameworks developed at a global level can be applied in local communities and how well these frameworks—based largely on plant morphological traits—align with plant physiology and response to stress.

This publication consists of a rule set for benthic habitat classification implemented in eCognition (Trimble Navigation Limited). The details of the procedure are described in Parrish et al., 2016: http://www.jcronline.org/doi/abs/10.2112/SI76-017. The input to the classification consists of high-resolution true color orthophotos, seafloor DEMs from topobathymetric lidar, and gridded lidar reflectance...
The particulate and dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen data included in this report are a complete version of all data for GLOBEC cruises 1997-2004. The nutrient and chlorophyll data that correspond to this data set can be found in "Nutrient and Extracted Chlorophyll Data from the GLOBEC Long-Term Observation Program,...
The manufacturing processes of royal demolition explosive (RDX), or hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, have resulted in
serious water contamination. As a potential carcinogen, RDX can cause a broad range of harmful effects to humans and
animals. The ovine rumen is capable of rapid degradation of nitroaromatic compounds, including RDX. While ruminal RDX-degrading
bacteria...
