Assay dependence of Brucella antibody prevalence in a declining Alaskan harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) population

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2013
Background Brucella is a group of bacteria that causes brucellosis, which can affect population health and reproductive success in many marine mammals.

Tailoring drug‐to‐lipid ratio in redox‐responsive lipid‐mimetic prodrug liposomes for superior cabazitaxel delivery and antitumor efficacy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Redox‐responsive lipid‐mimetic prodrug liposomes with high drug‐to‐lipid ratios enhance cabazitaxel delivery, prolong circulation, and enable tumor‐selective drug release for superior antitumor efficacy and safety. Abstract Liposomes represent one of the most extensively investigated nanocarriers in drug delivery.

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

Does Climate Risk Affect Employment Decisions? International Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of climate risk on corporate employment decisions. Using a large sample from 41 countries, we find a positive association between climate risk and underinvestment in labor, notably manifesting as excessive employee layoffs.

Introducing a glacier forefield monitoring site network to understand succession in the Northern Limestone Alps [PDF]

Web Ecology
Since the end of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1855), glaciers retreated in the Alps, leaving new ground for genuine primary succession. The patterns and processes of glacier forefield succession have been studied globally for decades.

Titanium‐Catalyzed Diastereoselective Keto‐ and Iminonitrile Cyclizations

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The titanium(III)‐catalyzed diastereoselective cyclization of readily‐available substituted ketonitriles gives cyclopentanones in good yield and stereoselectivity. Subsequent 1,2‐addition allows the preparation of cyclopentyls with three consecutive stereocenters.

Clathrate hydrate crystallization

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Clathrate hydrate crystallization has been an area of interest to chemical engineers from the point of view of crystal structure, thermophysical properties, phase equilibria, kinetics, industrial applications, and environmental (climate change) implications.

Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

Quantification and Analysis of Icebergs in a Tidewater Glacier Fjord Using an Object-Based Approach.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Tidewater glaciers are glaciers that terminate in, and calve icebergs into, the ocean. In addition to the influence that tidewater glaciers have on physical and chemical oceanography, floating icebergs serve as habitat for marine animals such as harbor ...
