(Eventual) Stability and Change Across Partnerships
2019-01-01
Johnson, Matthew D.; Neyer, Franz J.
Does a new partnership differ from its preceding one? This study investigates whether relationship dynamics change as people transition from one partnership to another and examines a number of predictors that might explain variation in change trajectories. We draw on data gathered from 554 focal...

Castor Patatin-like Phospholipase A IIIβ Facilitates Removal of Hydroxy Fatty Acids from Phosphatidylcholine in Transgenic Arabidopsis Seeds
Download2019-11-18
Lin, Y., Chen, G., Mietkiewska, E., Song, Z., Caldo, K. M. P., Singer, S. D., Dyer, J., Smith, M., McKeon, T., Weselake, R. J.
Hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) are industrial useful, but their major natural source castor contains toxic components. Although expressing a castor OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE in Arabidopsis thaliana leads to the synthesis of HFAs in seeds, a high proportion of the HFAs are retained in phosphatidylcholine...

Initial gut microbial composition as a key factor driving host response to antibiotic treatment, as exemplified by the presence or absence of commensal Escherichia coli
Download2017-08-01
Ju, Tingting, Shoblak, Yasmeen, Gao, Yanhua, Yang, Kaiyuan, Fouhse, Janelle, Finlay, B. Brett, So, Yee Wing, Stothard, Paul, Willing, Ben P.
Antibiotics are important for treating bacterial infection; however, efficacies and side effects of antibiotics vary in medicine and experimental models. A few studies have correlated microbiota composition variations with health outcomes in response to antibiotics; however, no study has...

Bell, R.C., Mostyn, A., Astbury, S., Symonds, M.E.
Adequate adaptation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important during pregnancy to ensure that the increased metabolic demands by the developing fetus are met. These include changes in surface area mediated by villus hypertrophy and enhanced functional capacity of individual nutrient...

Luckert, Martin K., Armstrong, Glen W., Adamowicz, Wiktor L., Anderson, Jay A.
Previous studies suggest that management intensity zoning systems, such as the triad approach, could allow Canada’s forest industry to maintain or increase timber harvest levels while simultaneously reducing its environmental impact. In most such studies, the zones are exogenously specified. In...

Sustained Yield Forestry in Sweden and Russia: How Does it Correspond to Sustainable Forest Management Policy?
Download2013
Martin Hermansson, Frederik Doyon, Per Angelstam, Marine Elbakidze, Kjell Andersson, Jonas Jacobsson, Glen W. Armstrong, Robert Axelsson, Yurij Pautov
This paper analyzes how sustained yield (SY) forestry is defined and implemented in Sweden and Russia, two countries with different forest-industrial regimes. We first compare definitions of SY forestry in national legislation and policies. Then we study forest management planning in two large...

Abdul-Bari, Mohammed M., McQueen, Rachel H., Nguyen, Ha., Wismer, Wendy V, de la Mata, A. Paulina, Harynuk, James J.
Although polyester is well known for smelling strongly after wear, little is known about the propensity of nylon to retain and emit body odor. In this study, we investigated whether odor intensity differed between nylon and polyester fabrics. A secondary aim was to compare odor on fabrics frozen...

Traditional kefir reduces weight gain and improves plasma and liver lipid profiles more successfully than a commercial equivalent in a mouse model of obesity
Download2018-07-01
Bourrie, Benjamin C.T., Cotter, Paul D., Willing, Ben P.
Kefir, a fermented milk beverage, has shown promise in alleviating obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction. However, microbial characteristics are variable among traditional kefirs, and commercial kefirs drastically differ from traditional kefir. This study investigated the ability of four...
