Molecular evidence for sediment nitrogen fixation in a temperate New England estuary [PDF]
Primary production in coastal waters is generally nitrogen (N) limited with denitrification outpacing nitrogen fixation (N2-fixation). However, recent work suggests that we have potentially underestimated the importance of heterotrophic sediment N2 ...

Testing the limits of contextual constraint: interactions with word frequency and parafoveal preview during fluent reading [PDF]
Contextual constraint is a key factor affecting a word's fixation duration and its likelihood of being fixated during reading. Previous research has generally demonstrated additive effects of predictability and frequency in fixation times.

Metabolic Engineering Escherichia coli for the Production of Lycopene
Lycopene, a potent antioxidant, has been widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. However, the production of lycopene extracted from natural sources is far from meeting the demand.
