Perceived risk and protective behaviors related to COVID-19 among the Nigerian general population: An application of the extended parallel process model

Scientific African, 2022
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been heightened levels of fear worldwide. The steadily increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria as reported by the Nigerian center for Disease Control has led to different ...

The global economic long-term potential of modern biomass in a climate-constrained world

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Low-stabilization scenarios consistent with the 2 °C target project large-scale deployment of purpose-grown lignocellulosic biomass. In case a GHG price regime integrates emissions from energy conversion and from land-use/land-use change, the strong ...

"Everything had stopped, no meeting, no gathering": Social interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Bangladesh.

PLoS ONE
Understanding the spread of COVID-19 in humanitarian and fragile settings is challenging for many reasons, including the lack of data on social dynamics and preventive behaviors during an epidemic.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Midwestern specialty crop impacts on the environment and health: a scoping review

Agriculture & Food Security
Introduction The United States food system mainly relies on monoculture farming, leading to negative impacts on human and environmental health. Transitioning to specialty crop production (fruits, vegetables, and tree nuts) could alleviate challenges. The

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 Impact of Impact

Hypothesis, 2008
This spawned a debate in the lab; how important is a journal’s impact factor, anyway? In this age of on-line journals and internet publication searches, is a particular paper really more likely to be seen by others (ie. have more impact) by being published in one particular journal rather than another? Surely, an important result will be seen by anyone

A new frontier in treatment of advanced melanoma: Redefining clinical management in the era of immune checkpoint inhibitors

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma. This group of novel therapeutic agents differs from other systemic treatments and has necessitated a new approach for several fundamental aspects of clinical ...
