Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a collection of risk factors including abdominal obesity, insulin insensitivity, elevated plasma triglycerides, hypertension and low plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), is a major contributing factor to the development of cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes (T2D). Xanthohumol (XN), a flavonoid isolated from Humulus lupulus cones, has...

Decision-making competence reflects individual differences in the susceptibility to committing decision-making errors, measured using tasks common from behavioral decision research (e.g., framing effects, under/overconfidence, following decision rules). Prior research demonstrates that those with higher decision-making competence report lower incidence of health-risking and antisocial behaviors, but there has been less focus...

Gehring, W. J., and Willoughby, A. R. (2002). The medial
The atmospheric flux of methane from the oceans is largely mitigated through microbially
mediated sulphate-coupled methane oxidation, resulting in the precipitation of authigenic
carbonates. Deep-sea carbonates are common around active and palaeo-methane seepage,
and have primarily been viewed as passive recorders of methane oxidation; their role as active
and unique...

Impact of reproductive processes upon female health has yielded conflicting results; particularly in relation to the role of
reproduction-associated stress. We used the viviparous tsetse fly to determine if lactation, birth and involution lead to
damage from oxidative stress (OS) that impairs subsequent reproductive cycles. Tsetse females carry an intrauterine...

This study details the use of printing and other additive processes to fabricate a novel amperometric glucose sensor. The sensor was
fabricated using a Au coated 12.7 μm thick polyimide substrate as a starting material, where micro-contact printing, electrochemical
plating, chloridization, electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing, and spin coating were used...

The last deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) from ∼21,000 to 13,000 yr ago is well-constrained by several hundred ¹⁰Be and ¹⁴C ages. The subsequent retreat history, however, is established primarily from minimum-limiting ¹⁴C ages and incomplete Baltic-Sea varve records, leaving a substantial fraction of final SIS retreat history...

• Premise of the study: The dramatic advances offered by modern DNA sequencers continue to redefine the limits of what can be accomplished in comparative plant biology. Even with recent achievements, however, plant genomes present obstacles that can make it difficult to execute large-scale population and phylogenetic studies on next-generation...

Mountain environments are currently among the ecosystems least invaded by non-native
species; however, mountains are increasingly under threat of non-native plant invasion.
The slow pace of exotic plant invasions in mountain ecosystems is likely due to a combination
of low anthropogenic disturbances, low propagule supply, and extreme/steep environmental
gradients. The...
