It is well known that in mice the extension in lifespan by rapamycin is sexually dimorphic, in that it has a larger effect in females than males. In a previous study we showed that in male C57BL6 mice, rapamycin had less profound effects in both gene expression and liver metabolites...

Rapamycin (Rapa) and dietary restriction (DR) have consistently
been shown to increase lifespan. To investigate whether Rapa
and DR affect similar pathways in mice, we compared the effects
of feeding mice ad libitum (AL), Rapa, DR, or a combination of
Rapa and DR (Rapa + DR) on the transcriptome and...

Meta-analyses of field studies have shown that biomass, density, species richness, and size of organisms protected by no-take marine reserves generally increase over time. The magnitude and timing of changes in these response variables, however, vary greatly and depend upon the taxonomic groups protected, size and type of reserve, oceanographic...

Demands by employers for well-rounded individuals are increasing. Potential employers of fish and wildlife graduates are looking for staff that can communicate effectively, work autonomously, and who can problem-solve (Northwest Center Sustainable Resources 1998). There has been a paradigm shift in curriculum development driven by the requirements of agencies and...

In August 2012, wilted hop bines were observed in a yard near Seneca Castle, New York,
affecting 10 to 20% of the plants. Affected bines had a dark stem discoloration and wilted
leaves that remained attached after bines were killed. Dark brown to black, erumpent
pycnidia were aggregated in the...

Vitamin E improved liver histology in children and adults with NAFLD who participated in TONIC and PIVENS clinical trials,
but with significant inter-individual variability in its efficacy. Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is the major enzyme
metabolizing Vit E, with two common genetic variants (V433M, rs2108622 and W12G, rs3093105) found to...

Coral reefs form vast ecosystems in tropical oceans that are hotspots for biodiversity and are economically valuable. The ecological success of coral reefs is made possible by the symbiotic relationship between corals and dinoflagellate algae from the family Symbiodiniaceae. In this symbiosis, the algae are found within host gastrodermal cells...
Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is an online resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species. Its two main frameworks are genomes (collaboration with Ensembl Plants) and pathways (The Plant Reactome and archival BioCyc databases). Since our last NAR update, the database website adopted a new Drupal management platform. The...
Programming style plays an important role in program understanding and maintenance. Studies [Par83] have shown that as much as one- half of a maintenance programmer's time is spent in activities related to understanding the program. Program understanding is also important for testing and debugging. Programming style embellishes the readability of...
