Wealth is a key determinant of health and social achievement and an indicator of well-being in its own right. For this reason, the development and testing of novel...
Declining abundance of Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha across the Pacific Northwest is an issue of
great concern ecologically, culturally, and economically. Growth during the first summer is vitally important for
juvenile Chinook Salmon, as it influences not only life history decisions (to smolt or not to smolt) but also subsequent...

Looking to the natural world for insight into medical innovations is currently understudied and possibly underappreciated in the field of medicine. Natural environmental adaptations seen in wild animals can provide both inspiration and scientific realization for the future of human medicine. As humanity faces a global organ shortage crisis, research...
The effect of HTST pressure blanching processing parameters, as
compared to conventional steam blanching, on enzyme activity,
moisture, drip loss, shear force, sensory attributes and consumer
acceptability of frozen sweet corn were determined. Complete
inactivation of catalase and peroxidase required HTST treatments of
60 psi and 75 psi, respectively. No...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) women is a significant public health issue, requiring deeper understanding on how to better support Native women survivors.
