We investigated the rest frame spectral lags of two complete samples of bright long (50)
and short (6) gamma-ray bursts (GRB) detected by Swift. We analysed the Swift/BAT
data through a discrete cross-correlation function (CCF) fitted with an...

BACKGROUND: Large quantities of digital images are now generated for biological collections, including those developed
in projects premised on the high-throughput screening of genome-phenome experiments. These images often carry
annotations on...

Leaf hydraulics, gas exchange and carbon storage in Pinus edulis and Juniperus
monosperma, two tree species on opposite ends of the isohydry–anisohydry spectrum, were
analyzed to examine relationships between hydraulic function and carbohydrate...

BACKGROUND: Glucose homeostasis is distorted by defects of the PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways in insulin-sensitive
tissues, allowing the accumulation of glucose in the blood. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects and
mechanisms by which...

A previous study showed that ammonia oxidation by the Thaumarchaeota Nitrosopumilus maritimus (group 1.1a) was resistant
to concentrations of the C₈ 1-alkyne, octyne, which completely inhibits activity by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. In this study,...

Renewed interest in fast nuclear reactors is creating a need for better understanding of fission gas bubble behavior in non-oxide fuels. Collisions between
fission fragments and their subsequent cascades can knock fission gas atoms out
of bubbles...

Microorganisms in seagrass sediments facilitate many key ecosystem processes, yet
current knowledge of microbial facilitation of seagrass community recovery following disturbance
or restoration is limited. We studied microbial community responses...

BACKGROUND: We compared 24-hour waist-worn accelerometer wear time characteristics of 9-11 year old children
in the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE) to similarly aged U.S. children
providing...

Premise of research: A distinctive new species of osmundaceous fern, based on a permineralized trunk from
Lower Cretaceous deposits of Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the west coast of mainland
Canada, provides additional...

Pseudoperonospora cubensis is an obligate pathogen and
causative agent of cucurbit downy mildew. To help advance
our understanding of the pathogenicity of P. cubensis, we
used RNA-Seq to improve the quality of its reference
genome sequence. We...
