Dating pelagic clay can be a challenge due to its slow sedimentation rate, post-depositional alteration, and lack of biogenic deposition. Co-based dating techniques have the potential to create age models in pelagic clay under the assumption that the flux of non-detrital Co to the seafloor is spatially and temporally constant,...

We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex attractant pheromone of Desmocerus californicus californicus.
Headspace volatiles from female Desmocerus aureipennis aureipennis contained
(R)-desmolactone, and the antennae...

Anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate, are toxic at
low concentrations, and undergo long-range atmospheric transport (LRT) were identified and quantified in the atmosphere
of a Saharan dust source region (Mali) and during Saharan dust incursions at downwind sites in the eastern
Caribbean (U.S. Virgin...

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) including Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome are rare genetic disorders characterized by hematologic complications and increased risk of cancer. Patients and their families likely experience obstacles in obtaining sufficient health information given their disorders’ rarity. To investigate this possibility, we...

The Willamette Valley of Oregon has high rates of winter precipitation that cause
leaching losses of residual fertilizer nitrogen (N) as nitrate (NO₃). Cover crops may have
potential to mitigate N loss. Shallow groundwater was sampled for 11 years from plots
planted in summer vegetables with and without winter cover...
