Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

The need for race-specific reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Few reference equations exist for healthy adults of various races for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO). The purpose of this study was to collect pilot data to demonstrate that race-specific reference equations are needed ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Postural variation of pulmonary diffusing capacity as a marker of lung microangiopathy in Indian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by the presence of chronic hyperglycemia and formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Interaction between AGE and its receptor leads to endothelial damage and microangiopathy.

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Approximation of diffuse measures for parabolic capacities

Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2008
Given a parabolic cylinder Q = (0, T) x Omega, with Omega subset of R-N, we consider the class of finite measures which do not charge sets of zero p-parabolic capacity in Q. We prove that such measures can be strongly approximated by measures which can be written as v(t) - Delta(p)v with v is an element of L-p(0, T; W-0(1,p) (Omega)) boolean AND L ...

Predictors of Diffusing Capacity in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Longitudinal Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: Gas exchange abnormalities in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) may represent cardiopulmonary deterioration. Identifying predictors of these abnormalities in children with SCD (C-SCD) may help us understand disease progression and develop informed ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.
