BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc (BHPB) has been mining kimberlite from several pipes at the Ekati Diamond MineTM located 300 km north of Yellowknife since 1997. Processing of kimberlite produces coarse kimberlite rejects (CKR, 0.5 to 8 mm) and fine tailings (less than 0.5 mm). The CKR are trucked to...

Smaller owls and hawks are high-threat predators to small songbirds, like chickadees, in comparison to larger avian predators due to smaller raptors’ agility (Templeton et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci 104:5479–5482, 2005). The current literature focuses only on high- and low-threat predators. We...

Stratton, G., Sorkin, L., Leech, R., Cady, A., Caldwell, M.
Abstract: The family Acroceridae (Insecta: Diptera; ''Small Headed Flies'') are a seldom seen yet cosmopolitan group of endoparasitoids of spiders. Recent host and distribution records are presented here for six species of acrocerids: Ogcodes borealis Cole, 1919; Ogcodes pallidipennis (Loew,...

Activation of ankle muscles following rapid displacement of a light touch contact during treadmill walking.

Shiva, Tania; Misiaszek, John E.
The first exposure of a rapid displacement of a light touch reference induces an inappropriate balance corrective response during standing in a proportion of participants that is extinguished with repeated exposures. We hypothesized that if the spatial touch reference was critical to performing...

Activation of Na+/H+ exchanger-directed protein kinases in the ischemic and ischemic-reperfused rat myocardium
Download2001-01-01
Moor, Andrea N., Gan, Xiaohong Tracey, Karmazyn, Morris, Fliegel, Larry
The activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger has been implicated as an important contributing factor in damage to the myocardium that occurs during ischemia and reperfusion. We examined regulation of the protein in ischemic and reperfused isolated hearts and isolated ventricular myocytes. In isolated...

Dyck, Jason, Silva, Norma Lucena C. L., Fliegel, Larry
We have isolated and characterized regions important for expression of the mouse NaGraphic/HGraphic exchanger gene. A 1.1-kilobase fragment upstream of the 5′-untranslated region contains specific DNA motifs characteristic of promoter and enhancer elements including a TATA box, two CAAT boxes, an...

Ueda, Keitaro, Ito, Kazuhiro, Kimura, Genki, Moses, Audric, Xiong, Yeping, Kizawa, Yasuo, Curtis, Jonathan M., Barnes, Peter J., Mercado, Nicolas
Anti-oxidant capacity is crucial defence against environmental or endogenous oxidative stress. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor that plays a key defensive role against oxidative and cytotoxic stress and cellular senescence. However, Nrf2...

This article examines the illness and recovery experiences and perceptions of physically active middle aged and older adults participating in hiking groups. These perceptions are examined within the local milieu of their group and the larger social context of biomedical norms of healthy older...
