Abstract:
... Varying amounts of Co and Ni were substituted into the metal–organic framework Mg-MOF-74 via a one-pot solvothermal reaction, and the effects of these substitutions on CO₂ adsorption and kinetic water stability properties were examined. Based on elemental analyses, Co and Ni are more favorably incorporated into the MOF-74 framework from solution than Mg. In addition, reaction temperature more stro ...

Abstract:
... Daphnia pulex is a widely used toxicological model and is known for its sensitivity to cadmium (Cd). Recent research suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in animal responses to heavy metals. To investigate the functions of D. pulex miRNAs under Cd exposure, we analyzed the miRNA profiles of D. pulex after 48 h using miRNA microarrays and validated our findings by q-PCR. miRNA dpu- ...

We aimed to evaluate the effects of PTHrP 1–34 on bone mass and determi ...

However, the mechanism of different dietary fibers contributing to satiety-related gastrointestinal (GI) peptide release, especially in an obese population, is still poorly understood. Polydextrose (PDX), a water-soluble glucose polymer, has demonstrated its ability to reduce energy intake at a subsequent meal, but its mechanism of a ...

Alternatively, females may benefit by mating with dominant males, and female choice and male–male competition may therefore act in unison. The same traits, including aggressiveness, may indicate male quality ...

Abstract:
... United States Army personnel in garrison who are not deployed to combat theater report using dietary supplements (DSs) to promote health, increase physical and mental strength, and improve energy levels. Given the substantial physical and cognitive demands of combat, DS use may increase during deployment. This study compared DS use by garrison soldiers with DS use by personnel deployed to a combat ...

Abstract:
... Measuring urbanization and assessing its impacts require long-term records of land changes, which cannot typically be provided from a single information source. A prerequisite to the creation of a reasonably consistent national information database on urban growth was the development of a robust methodology to assimilate land information from diverse sources. This method was applied to assimilatio ...

KEY MESSAGE : Elevated atmospheric humidity reduced bud size by restricting primordium growth and increased the frequency of bud break in fast-growing deciduous trees, but the responses are species-specific. The initiation, development, and growth potential of buds determine the structure of a tree crown. Climate change scenarios project increasing amounts of precipitation at high latitudes in the ...
