Stochastic population growth in spatially heterogeneous environments
Classical ecological theory predicts that environmental stochasticity increases extinction risk by reducing the average per-capita growth rate of populations.

Temporal dimensions of reported life satisfaction in a low-income, agricultural environment [PDF]
Improving quality of life of farmers in rapidly changing rural economies remains a challenge. In low income settings, agricultural lean seasons lead to a fall in consumption and nutrition that affect longer term well-being trajectories.

Ecological correlates of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) density in Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania [PDF]
Understanding the ecological factors that drive animal density patterns in time and space is key to devising effective conservation strategies. In Tanzania, most chimpanzees (~75%) live outside national parks where human activities threaten their habitat’

Extrapulmonary and Disseminated Infections Due to Mycobacterium malmoense: Case Report and Review [PDF]
Mycobacterium malmoense is a potentially pathogenic species that was first described in 1977. During the past decade M. malmoense has been recognized with increasing frequency as a pulmonary pathogen. More than 180 cases of M.

Huntingtin’s neuroprotective activity occurs via inhibition of pro-caspase 9 processing [PDF]
Huntington's Disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disease that affects the medium spiny neurons in the striatum. The disease is caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine sequence in the N terminus of Huntingtin (Htt), a widely expressed protein ...

Nightside Pi2 Wave Properties During an Extended Period With Stable Plasmapause Location and Variable Geomagnetic Activity [PDF]
The frequencies and amplitudes of inner magnetosphere Pi2 waves are affected by the radial plasma density profile. Variable geomagnetic activity and external driving conditions can affect both wave properties and density profiles simultaneously.

Skeletal muscle satellite cells are located at a closer proximity to capillaries in healthy young compared with older men [PDF]
Background Skeletal muscle satellite cells (SC) are instrumental in maintenance of muscle fibres, the adaptive responses to exercise, and there is an age‐related decline in SC. A spatial relationship exists between SC and muscle fibre capillaries. In the

The effect of membrane curvature on the conformation of antimicrobial peptides: implications for binding and the mechanism of action [PDF]
Short cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are believed to act either by inducing transmembrane pores or disrupting membranes in a detergent-like manner.

Extended magnetohydrodynamics with embedded particle‐in‐cell simulation of Ganymede’s magnetosphere [PDF]
We have recently developed a new modeling capability to embed the implicit particle‐in‐cell (PIC) model iPIC3D into the Block‐Adaptive‐Tree‐Solarwind‐Roe‐Upwind‐Scheme magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model.
