Ecological niche models can be a useful tool to identify candidate reintroduction sites for endangered
species but have been infrequently used for this purpose. In this paper, we (1) develop activity-specific
ecological niche models (nesting, roosting, and feeding) for the critically endangered California condor
(Gymnogyps californianus) to aid in reintroduction...

Antisense oligonucleotide (AO)-mediated exon-skipping therapeutics shows great promise in correcting frame-disrupting mutations in the DMD gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, insufficient systemic delivery limits clinical adoption. Previously, we showed that a glucose/fructose mixture augmented AO delivery to muscle in mdx mice. Here, we evaluated if fructose alone could enhance...

Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing
shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon
and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities
of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

are most likely to play a role in plant–soil feedback
loops when they possess an affinity for a particular plant and
the capacity to consistently affect the growth of that plant for

OBJECTIVE: Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) has been found to reduce delinquency among girls in juvenile justice through 2-year follow-up. Given that such girls are at elevated risk for suicide and depression into adulthood, we tested MTFC effects on long term trajectories of suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms.
METHOD: Girls...

We used multi-season occupancy analyses to model 2 fates of northern spotted owl territories in
relation to habitat amount, habitat fragmentation, and the presence of barred owls in Washington State,
USA, 1989–2005. Local colonization is the probability a territory unoccupied by a spotted owl in year i would
be occupied...

Large Eddy Simulations (LESs) for a lean-direct injection (LDI) combustor are performed and compared
with experimental data. The LDI emissions characteristics, and radiation-spray coupling effect on the predictions
are analyzed. The flamelet progress variable approach is employed for chemistry tabulation coupled
with a stochastic secondary breakup model. Good comparisons are...

The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and...
