Pre-med attrition is the loss of students participating in academic pre-medical programs over time. Attrition in medical school has been the subject of many studies, but pre-med attrition is less researched, despite its relevance to the emergence and performance of future medical professionals. Interviewing former pre-med students who chose other...
Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are global hotspots of endemism 40 facing mounting environmental threats associated with human-related activities, including the ecological impacts associated with non-native species introductions. We review freshwater fish introductions across med-regions to evaluate the influences of non-native fishes on the biogeography of taxonomic and functional diversity. Our synthesis...

Airborne measurements over the northern Pacific are
evaluated to characterize properties of black carbon (BC) in
cirrus crystal residuals and background aerosols in the upper
troposphere. Although the mass and number concentrations
of BC were 7–25 times lower in crystal residuals than in
particles outside of cloud, twice as many...

We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of α-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma α-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high...
Background: Academic medical centers are examining relationships with the pharmaceutical industry
and making changes to limit interactions. Most doctors, however, practice outside of academic institutions
and see pharmaceutical detailers and accept drug samples and gifts. Little guidance for practicing
physicians exists about transforming practices to become pharma-free. Consideration must be...
This report explains the purpose and use of Marine Economics Data Sheets. The explanation begins at the right and continues on page 4. Pages 2 and 3 illustrate both sides of a Marine Economics Data Sheet and describe its parts.
