In this study we demonstrate that sample strips of lidar in
combination with Landsat can be used to predict forest attributes
more precisely than from Landsat alone. While lidar
and Landsat can each be used alone in vegetation mapping,
the cost of...

Ebola virus causes an acute hemorrhagic fever lethal in primates and rodents. The contribution of host immune
factors to pathogenesis has yet to be determined and may reveal efficacious targets for potential treatment. In
this study, we show that...

Radiocarbon is an exceptionally useful tool for studying soil-respired CO₂, providing information about soil
carbon turnover rates, depths of production, and the biological sources of production through partitioning. Unfortunately, little
work has...

Excessive fiscal spending is commonly cited as a root of the current European debt
crisis. This paper suggests, like others, that the rise of competitiveness imbalances contributing
to national imbalances in total borrowing are a better...

We present the results of a set of numerical simulations of long-duration gamma-ray burst
jets aimed at studying the effect of a variable engine on the peak frequency of the photospheric
emission. Our simulations follow the propagation of the jet...

Symbiotic relationships between cnidarians and dinoflagellates within the genus
Symbiodinium are critically important for the success of coral reefs. These symbionts
provide their hosts with photosynthetically-fixed carbon in exchange for...

We consider issues of equality and efficiency in two different school funding
systems - a state-level system in Michigan and a foundation system in Ohio.
Unlike Ohio, the Michigan system restricts districts from generating property or

Cryopreservation of human red blood cells (RBCs) in the presence of 40% glycerol
allows a shelf-life of 10 years, as opposed to only 6 weeks for refrigerated
RBCs. Nonetheless, cryopreserved blood is rarely used in clinical therapy, in part...

BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) is a
suspected risk factor for brain tumours, however the literature is inconsistent. Few studies have
assessed whether ELF in different time windows of exposure...
