OBJECTIVES: Subclinical vascular disease (SVD) contributes to the aging process and may decrease life expectancy. We aimed to determine the contribution of gradations of SVD to the likelihood of achieving longer survival, and to determine what allows some individuals to achieve longer survival in the presence of high SVD.

Since June 2010, the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) has been collecting the first
diurnally resolved satellite ocean measurements. Here GOCI retrievals of phytoplankton chlorophyll
concentration and fluorescence are used to evaluate daily to seasonal changes in photophysiological
properties. We focus on nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) processes that protect phytoplankton from...

Calvin cycle reactions [Stitt, 1986]. Phytoplankton respond
to a change in Ig by adjusting the balance
The effect of a 9—month nutrition education and walking program on
energy need, body composition, nutrient intake, nutritional status,
aerobic fitness, and health risk factors was determined in 7 women with
childhood—onset obesity (CO) and 8 women with adult—onset obesity (AO).
Data were collected before and after the 9—month program...
Photoacclimation is the process by which plants and phytoplankton adjust the concentration and composition of their photosynthetic machinery (i.e. their photoacclimation state) in response to changes in their light or nutrient environment. The purpose of photoacclimation is to balance the rate at which light energy is absorbed with the energetic...
In Nazi Germany, 1938, Der Stürmer publishing house, under the control of Julius Striecher, published Der Giftpilz or The Poisonous Mushroom; an anti-Semitic children's book. Disseminated in the thousands, Der Giftpilz became infamously known as a children's book so grotesque it could be, and in fact was, admitted as evidence...
This study was an investigation of lotic macroinvertebrate distribution in northeastern Oregon at two different spatial and biological scales. Examination of assemblages at a limited spatial scale revealed relationships with natural and disturbance gradients and led to questions about distribution of a population at broader spatial scales. In a 16...
