Abstract
|
| |
Enhancing the adaptive capacity of individuals, communities, institutions and nations is pivotal to protecting and improving human health and well-being in the face of systemic social inequity plus dangerous climate change. However, research on the determinants of adaptive capacity in relation to health, particularly concerning the role of governance, is in its infancy |

Abstract

High risk alcohol use and sexual behaviors peak in young adulthood and often occur in the same individuals. Alcohol use has been found to impair decision-making and contribute to high risk sexual activity. However, the association between alcohol use and risky sexual behavior may also reflect enduring individual differences in risk taking, sociability, self-control, and related variables |

Abstract
|
| |
China has achieved notable success in developing its economy with approximate
10 percent average annual GDP growth over the last two decades. At the same time, energy consumption and CO2 emissions almost doubled every five years, which led China to be the world top emitter in 2007. In response, Chinas government has put forward a carbon mitigation target of 40%-45% reduction of CO2 emission intensity by 2020. To better understand the potential for success or failure of such a policy, it is essential to assess different driving forces such as population, lifestyle and technology and their associated CO2 emissions... |

Abstract
|
| |
This paper proposes a structure for long-term energy demand forecasting. The
proposed hybrid approach, called HPLLNF, uses the local linear neuro-fuzzy (LLNF)
model as the forecaster and utilizes the Hodrick–Prescott (HP) filter for extraction of the trend and cyclic components of the energy demand series. Besides, the sophisticated
technique of mutual information (MI) is employed to select the most relevant input features with least possible redundancies for the forecast model. Each generated component by the HP filter is then modeled through an LLNF model... |

Spirolides are marine phycotoxins produced by the dinoflagellates Alexandrium ostenfeldii and A. peruvianum. Here we report that 13-desmethyl spirolide C shows little
cytotoxicity when incubated with various cultured mammalian cell lines. When administered to mice by intraperitoneal (ip) injection, however, this substance was highly toxic, with an LD50 value of 6.9 |

Abstract

Due to the various parameters that influence air solubility and microbubble production in dissolved air flotation (DAF), a multitude of values that cover a large range for these parameters are suggested for field systems. An unpacked saturator and an air quantification unit were designed to specify the effects of power, pressure, temperature, hydraulic retention time, and air flow on the DAF performance. It was determined that a pressure of 621 kPa, hydraulic retention time of 18.2 min, and air flow of 8.5 L/h would be the best controlled parameters for maximum efficiency in this unit... |

Abstract

A better knowledge of factors organizing crop genetic diversity in situ increases
the efficiency of diversity analyses and conservation strategies, and requires collaboration between social and biological disciplines. Four areas of anthropology may contribute to our understanding of the impact of social factors on crop diversity: ethnobotany, cultural, cognitive and social anthropology. So far, most collaborative studies have been based on ethnobotanical methods, focusing on farmers individual motivations and actions, and overlooking the effects of farmers social organization per se... |

Pseudomonas cichorii harbors the hrp genes. hrp-mutants lose their virulence on
eggplant but not on lettuce. A phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene (pat) is located
between hrpL and an aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (aldH) in the genome of P. cichorii.
Comparison of nucleotide sequences and composition of the genes among pseudomonads
suggests a common ancestor of hrp and pat between P. cichorii strains and P. viridiflava
strains harboring the single hrp pathogenicity island. In contrast, phylogenetic diversification
of aldH corresponded to species diversification amongst pseudomonads... |

Abstract

Tropical aquatic species of the legume genus Aeschynomene are stem- and
root-nodulated by bradyrhizobia strains that exhibit atypical features such as photosynthetic
capacities or the use of a nod gene-dependent (ND) or a nod gene-independent (NI)
pathway to enter into symbiosis with legumes. In this study we used a comparative
genomics approach on nine Aeschynomene symbionts representative of their phylogenetic
diversity. We produced draft genomes of bradyrhizobial strains representing different
phenotypes: five NI photosynthetic strains (STM3809, ORS375, STM3847, STM4509 and
STM4523) in addition to the previously sequenced ORS278 and BTAi1 genomes, one
photosynthetic strain ORS285 hosting both ND and NI symbiotic systems, and one NI
non-photosynthetic strain (STM3843)... |
