The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on lymphocyte
responsiveness was investigated in 15 elderly volunteers (aged
65-81 years) by measuring lymphocyte proliferation to T and B cell
mitogens, lymphocyte subpopulations with monoclonal antibodies
(T3, T4, T8) and plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration
at pre-supplementation and after 1 and 2 months...
The tools and infrastructure used in tech, including Open Source Software (OSS), can embed “inclusivity bugs”—features that disproportionately disadvantage particular groups of contributors. To see whether OSS developers have existing practices to ward off such bugs, we surveyed 266 OSS developers. Our results show that a majority (77%) of developers...
Satellite altimeter measurements of marine gravity reveal 100 to 200-km
wavelength lineations over a wide area of the Pacific plate oriented roughly in the direction of
absolute plate motion. At least three mechanisms have been proposed for their origin: smallscale
convective rolls aligned in the direction of absolute plate motion...
To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts.
We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current
and future decisions about management of species, communities, and...
