Research clearly demonstrates that parents pass risk for depression and antisocial behavior on to their children. However, most research confounds genetic and environmental mechanisms by studying genetically related individuals. Furthermore, most studies focus on either depression or antisocial behavior in parents or children, despite evidence of co-occurrence and shared etiology,...
The current study examined two family process predictors of parent-reported child sleep problems at 4.5 years in an adoption sample: marital hostility and hostile parenting. Participants were 361 linked triads of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children. We examined direct and indirect pathways from marital hostility to child sleep...
Background: There is evidence that seasonal variation in depressive symptoms is common in the population. However, research is limited by a reliance on longterm retrospective methods. Methods: Seasonal patterns were tested in two samples of community participants recruited in separate prospective studies in the Midwestern (n = 556 males/females) and...
The fauna of parasitic isopods of the family Bopyridae in Singapore is only poorly known, consisting of only seven species in as many genera in five subfamilies. A new small collection adds four species in as many genera, two of them belonging to a subfamily not previously recorded from Singapore....
Recently, the definition of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has evolved to also encompass environmental and contextual factors, termed expanded ACEs (Lipscomb et al., 2021). Given that responsive relationships in early childhood may dampen the response to traumatic stressors in the context of conventional ACEs (Flinn & England et al., 1997),...
Previous reports on the state of the Latino/a-focused mental health literature suggest that the quantity of Latino/a-focused articles within the mental health field continued to be disproportionate to the growing percentage of Latino/as in the United States (Liang, Salcedo, Rivera, & Lopez, 2009). As such, Latino/a mental health experiences, needs,...
Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) is the sole member of the idaeovirus genus of plant viruses. It is a pollen-borne virus that economically impacts both red and black raspberries worldwide. Three strains of the bipartite RBDV have been reported. The common strain found in North America, South America, Australia, New...
The marine vibrio ANT-500 is a typical psychrophile. The
growth range of the bacterium at 35‰ S is from a maximum growth
temperature of 13.5 C to a minimum growth temperature of -2.5 C
or less with the optimum near 7 C. The bacterium elaborates its
chitinase enzymes between the...
A chitinase producing bacterium was isolated from soil and identified
as a species of Arthrobacter. The organism grew well at temperatures
between 27 and 33.5 C, and the chitinase production was highest
at 25.5 C. As the temperature increased above the optimum point, the
level of enzyme production rapidly decreased,...
Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...
