Predator Management To Increase Duck Nest Success [PDF]

, 1987
Operational programs of seasonal predator management to increase duck production may be economically feasible. Mammalian predators of nesting ducks and their eggs were reduced in numbers on selected areas of west central Minnesota during the nesting ...

Increased Plasma Microbial tDR‐1 in At‐Risk Individuals Is Associated With Decreased Conversion to Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reduces an In Vitro Macrophage Type 1 Interferon Response

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Microbial small RNAs can regulate human genes. Higher plasma concentrations of microbial transfer RNA (tRNA)‐derived RNA‐1 (tDR‐1) were previously associated with lower rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. This study examined whether tDR‐1 concentrations differ in anticyclic citrullinated peptide‐3 positive (CCP3+) at‐risk individuals (

Long-Term Declines in Nest Success of Prairie Ducks [PDF]

, 1996
Increased predation on nests of ducks in prairie uplands, as a result of habitat alteration, has been hypothesized to cause decreased nest success and population sizes. We tested whether, and by how much, nest success declined using data compiled from 37

Deep Immunophenotyping Reveals Distinct Immune Signatures in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are overlapping yet distinct conditions within the SpA spectrum. As divergent immunophenotypes may influence disease course and therapeutic response, we compared immune cell subsets, cytokine profiles, and inflammatory mediators.

Growth mindset is positively associated with mathematics attainment in Scotland—But socioeconomic status plays a greater role

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is currently a gap in knowledge around pupils' growth mindset (GM) and attainment in Scotland, particularly in relation to Socioeconomic Status (SES). This study offers insights on the relevance of growth mindset in Scotland for attainment in mathematics by drawing on large‐scale data from the OECD's Programme for International Student ...
