Do Oil and Gas Lease Stipulations in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico Need Expansion to Better Protect Vulnerable Coral Communities? How Low Relief Habitats Support High Coral Biodiversity

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The continental shelf of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico harbors extensive reefs and banks that support diverse coral reefs and mesophotic communities. Mesophotic communities range in depth from 40 to 200 m and, in this region, foster some of the densest

Liquidity, Banking, and Bank Failures [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, 1988

Vulnerable banks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Financial Economics, 2011
When a bank experiences an adverse shock to its equity capital, one way to return to target leverage is to sell assets. The price impact of the fire sale may impact other institutions with common exposures, resulting in contagion. We propose a simple framework that accounts for this effect.

Blocking Connexin-43 mediated hemichannel activity protects against early tubular injury in experimental chronic kidney disease

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2020
Background Tubulointerstitial fibrosis represents the key underlying pathology of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), yet treatment options remain limited. In this study, we investigated the role of connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannel-mediated adenosine triphosphate
