Carbon and energy exchange by a black spruce – moss ecosystem under changing climate: testing the mathematical model ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment
Download2001
Grant, R.F., Berry, J.A., Wofsy, S.C., Goulden, M.L.
There is some uncertainty whether net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of boreal black spruce forests is positive or negative under current climates and how NEP would change under hypothesized changes in future climates. The mathematical model ecosys was used to examine NEP of a boreal black spruce...

Carbon and nitrogen isotope systematics in diamond: Different sensitivities to isotopic fractionation or a decoupled origin?
Download2016-11-16
Hogberg, Katie, Stachel, Thomas, Stern, Richard A.
Using stable isotope data obtained on multiple aliquots of diamonds from worldwide sources, it has been argued that carbon and nitrogen in diamond are decoupled. Here we re-investigate the carbon–nitrogen relationship based on the most comprehensive microbeam data set to date of stable isotopes...

Carbon management in New Zealand local government: Co-benefits of action and organizational resolve in the absence of government support
Download2014
In an effort to promote public sector carbon management, in 2004, New Zealand’s (NZ) Labour-led government funded local government membership in the Communities for Climate Protection - New Zealand (CCP-NZ) program, the NZ arm of ICLEI’s Cities for Climate Protection campaign. In late 2008 the...

We examined the ability of carbonic anhydrase II to bind to and affect the transport efficiency of the NHE1 isoform of the mammalian Na+/H+ exchanger. The C-terminal region of NHE1 was expressed in Escherichia coli fused with an N-terminal glutathionineS-transferase or with a C-terminal...

Three groups of once-calved (OCH) heifers were slaughtered following the weaning of their calves at 3 (OCH3, n = 32), 5 (OCH5, n = 33) and 7 (OCH7, n = 31) months postcalving. A fourth group of heifers was fed a silage/grain diet and slaughtered at 15 mo of age (C, n = 32). Alternate sides of...

Arthur, P. F., Price, M. A., Makarechian, M., Berg, R. T.
Data on 99 young bulls, which were the progeny of matings of either double muscle bulls and normal cows (DMx) or normal bulls and normal cows (N) born over three calving seasons, were analyzed to compare the carcass characteristics and lean yield of yearling DMx and N bulls. DMx carcasses had...

Cardiomyocyte antihypertrophic effect of adipocyte tissue conditioned medium from rats and its abrogation by obesity is mediated by the leptin to adiponectin ratio
Download2016
Karmazyn, Morris, Proctor, Spencer D., Mangat, Rabban, Gan, Xiaohong T., Bairwa, Suresh C., Rajapurohitam, Venkatesh
White adipocytes are known to function as endocrine organs by secreting a plethora of bioactive adipokines which can regulate cardiac function including the development of hypertrophy. We determined whether adipose tissue conditioned medium (ATCM) generated from the epididymal regions of normal...

Cardiomyocyte overexpression of iNOS in mice results in peroxynitrite generation, heart block, and sudden death
Download2002-01-01
Mungrue, Imran N., Gros, Robert, You, Xiaomang, Pirani, Asif, Azad, Azar, Csont, Tamas, Husain, Mansoor, Schulz, Richard
Increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is a component of the immune response and has been demonstrated in cardiomyocytes in septic shock, myocarditis, transplant rejection, ischemia, and dilated cardiomyopathy. To explore whether the consequences of such expression are...

Cardiovascular Risk According to Plasma Apolipoprotein and Lipid Profiles in a Canadian First Nation
Download2011
Riediger, Natalie D., Bruce, Sharon G., Young, T. Kue
"Introduction: Despite high diabetes rates among Canadian First Nations people, little is known about their cardiovascular disease risk. Our aim was to describe the apolipoprotein profile with respect to cardiovascular risk in a Canadian First Nation community. Methods: In 2003, a representative...

Cardstonia tolmanii gen. et sp. nov. (Limnocharitaceae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada.
Download2004
Several new broad-leaved monocots were identified in gray siltstones and fine-grained sandstones from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) St. Mary River Formation near Cardston, Alberta, Canada. Specimens are compression/impressions of long-petiolate aquatic plants that were probably...
