A central goal of green chemistry is to avoid hazard in the design of new chemicals. This objective is best achieved when information about a chemical's potential hazardous effects is obtained as early in the design process as feasible. Endocrine disruption is a type of hazard that to date has...
microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as regulators of a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental processes, including brain morphogenesis, neuronal differentiation, and survival. While the role of miRNAs in establishing and maintaining the developing nervous system is widely appreciated, the developmental neurobehavioral role of miRNAs has yet to be defined. Here we show...
Many carbon nanotube (CNT) applications require precisely controlled chemical
functionalization that is minimally disruptive to electrical performance. A promising approach is
the generation of sp³ hybridized carbon atoms in the sp²-bonded lattice. We have investigated the
possibility of using a carboxylic acid functionalized diazonium reagent to introduce a defined
number...

As a persistent organic contaminant, perfluorooctanesulphonic acid (PFOS) has been widely detected in the environment, wildlife, and humans. The present study revealed that zebrafish embryos exposed to 16 µM PFOS during a sensitive window of 48-96 hour post-fertilization (hpf) disrupted larval morphology at 120 hpf. Malformed zebrafish larvae were characterized...

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that direct post-transcriptional regulation of protein coding genes. Recent studies have shown miRNAs are important for controlling many biological processes, including nervous system development, and are highly conserved across species. Given their importance, computational tools are necessary for analysis, interpretation and integration of high-throughput...

Tightness-looseness (TL) is a cultural construct that measures the level of social norms present in a community, and the level of scrutiny of deviance from these norms. This construct offers a unique foundation for investigating how norms influence behavioral processes. Research in TL is relatively young, creating a frontier of...
The importance of active-entry drift at a community-scale
was evaluated by testing whether the placement of wood
in streams affected the abundance of Baetis spp. mayflies in
drift. Baetis were chosen because they use drift as a
behavioral strategy and are important in salmonid diets. The
density of woody debris...
The character of the primary seismic wave in the
range of distances between 100 and 600 km is affected by
such factors as the nature of the source, exponential
attenuation, crustal structure, type of wave propagation,
recording site geology and instrument response. The
first arrivals from the GNOME and SHOAL...
The exchange coefficients for area-averaged surface fluxes can become anomalously large when the large-scale flow is weak and significant fluxes of heat and moisture are driven by mesoscale motions within the averaging or subgrid area. To prevent this erratic behavior of the exchange coefficient, the “subgrid velocity scale” must be...

The perception of catfish farmers on climate change and it effect on the contribution of
catfish production to household income in Lagos State, Nigeria were investigated using primary
and secondary data as well as structured questionnaire. A multistage random sampling technique
was used to select 250 African catfish farmers. Descriptive...

Aseries of dams on the Deschutes River, Oregon, act as migration barriers that segregate the river system into upper
and lower basins. Proposed fish passage between basins would reunite populations of native potamodromous fish and
allow anadromous fish of Deschutes River origin access to the upper basin. We assessed the...
Fish Commission of Oregon personnel seined selected locations of Tillamook Bay, Oregon, from June to September 1972, to determine if juvenile salmon were rearing in the estuary and to get some concept of relative numbers of fish in the various parts of the bay. These data then could be compared...

Little is known about how cultivation legacies affect the outcome of rehabilitation seedings in the Great Basin, even though both
frequently co-occur on the same lands. Similarly, there is little known about how these legacies affect native species re-establishment
into these seedings. We examined these legacy effects by comparing areas...

Sputter deposited amorphous Ge thin films had their nanostructure altered by irradiation with high-energy Ar⁺ ions. The change in the structure resulted in a reduction in medium range order (MRO) characterized using fluctuation electron microscopy. The pulsed laser crystallization kinetics of the as-deposited versus irradiated materials were investigated using the...

Euphausia pacifica occupy a remarkably wide range of ecosystems. We examined the
