Assessing Haitian Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Aflatoxin‐Compliant Peanut Butter in the Informal Market

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Market‐based solutions are increasingly tested to address aflatoxin issues in peanuts in developing countries. Although previous studies have found that Haitian grocery store shoppers are willing to pay a 21% premium for peanut butter with levels of aflatoxin that meet international standards, no information is available for the much larger ...

Distinct determinants in HIV-1 Vif and human APOBEC3 proteins are required for the suppression of diverse host anti-viral proteins.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundAPOBEC3G (A3G) and related cytidine deaminases of the APOBEC3 family of proteins are potent inhibitors of many retroviruses, including HIV-1. Formation of infectious HIV-1 requires the suppression of multiple cytidine deaminases by Vif.

Preoperative FIB‐4 Index as a Potential Factor Associated With Severe Postoperative Complications and Endogenous Organ Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a preoperative FIB‐4 index ≥ 5.0 independently predicts severe complications and endogenous organ failure (EOF) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. By capturing structural liver fragility and systemic vulnerability, the FIB‐4 index enhances surgical risk stratification beyond traditional functional markers ...

Structural analysis of viral infectivity factor of HIV type 1 and its interaction with A3G, EloC and EloB.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe virion infectivity factor (Vif) is an accessory protein, which is essential for HIV replication in host cells. Vif neutralizes the antiviral host protein APOBEC3 through recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex.MethodologyFifty ...

Generative and Experimental Validation of High Refractive Index Polymers via Domain Knowledge Approach with Small Data

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This research demonstrates that the combination of domain knowledge–based multiple regression, multi‐objective Bayesian optimization, and generative models is a suitable prediction tool for candidates of high refractive index polymers, even with the constraints in the model trained on limited data. The experimental validation can reproduce the proposed

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Antagonism of PP2A is an independent and conserved function of HIV-1 Vif and causes cell cycle arrest

open access: yeseLife, 2020
The seminal description of the cellular restriction factor APOBEC3G and its antagonism by HIV-1 Vif has underpinned two decades of research on the host-virus interaction.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

CAEV Vif Hijacks ElonginB/C, CYPA and Cullin5 to Assemble the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Complex Stepwise to Degrade oaA3Z2-Z3

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) is a lentivirus that causes multisystemic chronic disorders in sheep and goats. It encodes Vif to counteract the restriction of Ovis aries A3Z2-Z3 (oaA3Z2-Z3) by inducing their degradation.
