Abstract:
... Successful conservation efforts require understanding human behaviors that directly affect biodiversity. Choice of household location represents an observable behavior that has direct effects on biodiversity conservation, but no one has examined the sociocultural predictors of this choice relative to its environmental impacts. We conducted a case study of the Teton Valley of Idaho and Wyoming (U.S ...

Abstract:
... Ecosystem services are being protected and restored worldwide through payments for ecosystem services in which participants are paid to alter their land‐management approaches to benefit the environment. The efficiency of such investments depends on the design of the payment scheme. Land features have been used to measure the environmental benefits of and amount of payment for land enrollment in pa ...

The potential toxicity of cobalt exposure on fetus is concerned since cobalt ions generated by metal-on-metal bearings can traverse the placenta and be detected in fetal blood and amniotic fluid. This study examine ...

Abstract:
... Fad24 is a novel gene involved in initiating adipogenesis. Most of the current information on fad24 is limited to mice, and the transcriptional regulation of fad24 remains unknown. Here we revealed that porcine fad24 encodes a protein structurally homologous to its human and rodent orthologs. Like its mouse counterpart, pig fad24 had positive effect on the adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal ...

Abstract:
... Salinity severely influences growth and grain yield of wheat. Modern breeding efforts have contributed to severe loss of genetic diversity and reduced tolerance to salt stress in cultivated plants. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), the progenitor of cultivated wheat, is well-adapted to a wide range of environments and exhibits tolerance to abiotic stress. However, there is lack of fundament ...
