The Na⁺ translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na⁺-NQR) is a unique respiratory enzyme catalyzing the electron
transfer from NADH to quinone coupled with the translocation of sodium ions across the membrane. Typically, Vibrio spp.,
including Vibrio cholerae, have this enzyme but lack the proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I).
Thus, Na⁺-NQR should significantly...
With the advent of tradable permit programs for bad outputs (e.g., SO₂ emissions); concerns arose over whether
the theoretical gains from trade would be realized. We will employ a methodology that calculates the potential
gains accruing to coal-fired electric power plants from implementing a tradable permit program. The magnitude
of...

“Substituent effects” is an important and useful concept in organic chemistry. Although there are many approaches to parametrizing the electronic and steric effects of substituents, the physical basis for the parameters is often unclear. The purpose of the present work is to explore the properties of chemical shifts in carbon...

Lichens in the Arctic play important ecological roles. They also face the threats of increasing fire and shrub and tree expansion, exacerbated or caused by climate change. These forces may lead to changes not only in lichen community composition but also in the abundance, diversity and distribution of lichen functional...
Statistics of central tendency and dispersion may
not capture relevant or desired characteristics of the distribution
of continuous phenomena and, thus, they may not
adequately describe temporal patterns of change. Here, we
present two methodological approaches that can help to identify
temporal changes in environmental regimes. First, we
use higher-order...

Genetic factors such as decreased genetic
diversity and increased homozygosity can have detrimental
effects on rare species, and may ultimately limit potential
adaptation and exacerbate population declines. The Gulf

second highest level of endemism in the continental USA,
but habitat fragmentation and...
Polycentric networks of formal organizations and informal stakeholder groups, as opposed to centralized institutional hierarchies, can be critically important for strengthening the capacity of governance systems to adapt to unexpected social and biophysical change. Adaptive governance is one type of environmental governance characterized by the emergence of networks that stimulate...

Purpose: We reviewed large-budget, National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with behavioral interventions to assess (1) publication rates, (2) trial registration, (3) use of objective measures, (4) significant behavior and physiological change, and (5) effect sizes.
Methods: We identified large-budget grants (>$500,000/year) funded by NIH (National Heart...

Sustainability initiatives in the library learning commons have long included paper and container recycling. But for those libraries that allow food consumption in study and learning spaces, collection of compostable food scraps and compostable food receptacles is not yet the norm. Tapping into the libraries’ core value of Sustainability, librarians...
