The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~ 10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components the iron cycle. ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many which limited. Measurements concentrations in subglacial runoff from a large Sheet catchment reveal potential for globally significant export labile fractions to near-coastal euphotic zone. We estimate that flux bioavailable associated with glacial is 0.40-2.54 Tg per...
Exposure to ambient ultrafine particulate matter (UFP) is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. However, little known about the effects of air pollution on gastrointestinal disorders.We sought assess whether exposure UFP (diameter < 180 nm) increased free fatty acids lipid metabolites in mouse small intestine.Ldlr-null mice were exposed filtered (FA) or collected at an urban Los Angeles, California, site that was heavily affected by vehicular emissions;...
While data on biological invasions and their economic toll are increasingly available, drivers of susceptibility to damage cost-effectiveness management in reducing long-term costs remain poorly understood. We used describing the of, expenditure on, invasive species among 56 nations between 2000 2020 reported InvaCost database test overarching hypothesis that higher-income those with higher trade volume have a efficiency limit incurred by spending relatively more management. also tested...
Variance in predictions across different trained models is a significant, under-explored source of error fair binary classification. In practice, the variance on some data examples so large that decisions can be effectively arbitrary. To investigate this problem, we take an experimental approach and make four overarching contributions. We: 1) Define metric called self-consistency, derived from variance, which use as proxy for measuring reducing arbitrariness; 2) Develop ensembling algorithm...
Abstract Assessing the economics of biological controls in pest and invasive species control is pivotal for guiding research decision making. The field provides numerous systematic methods to assess impacts values created by biocontrol programs, as well weigh trade-offs allocating resources research, development, management activities. This article discusses economic used evaluate quantify net benefits including data needs shortcomings methodologies. We cite examples from literature on...
The observed strong sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to black carbon (BC) presents potential implications for PAH bioaccessibility in soils. effects BC on the desorption kinetics and mineralization phenanthrene four soils was investigated after 1, 25, 50, 100 d soil-PAH contact time, using sequential hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) extractions amended with 0, 0.1, 5% (dry wt. soil) activated charcoal (AC, a form BC). rapidly (%F(rap)) slowly (%F(slow)) desorbing...
Abstract Interventions that change the food environment, provide nutrition education, and employ behavioral economics strategies can potentially contribute to healthier diets reduce risk of chronic disease, but no attempt has been made integrate these into same conceptual framework. We present case studies three multilevel, integrated interventions implemented by Johns Hopkins University between 2004–2011. develop a model based on studies. policies should effectively maximize opportunities...
Although comorbidities, frailty, and functional impairment are common in older adults (OA) with cancer, little is known about how these factors considered during the treatment decision-making process by OAs, their families, health care providers. Our aim was to better understand decision from all perspectives.A mixed methods multi-perspective longitudinal study using semi-structured interviews surveys 29 OAs aged ≥70 years advanced prostate, breast, colorectal, or lung 24 of family...
Compared to nonmigratory species, seasonal migratory species face different anthropogenic threats and respond differently such threats. Protecting poses unique policy challenges because the integrity of process through space time is critical for their survival. Considering ecological, economic, institutional characteristics throughout annual or life cycle habitat essential effective conservation development. This article identifies describes key ecological needs species. We then discuss...

Abstract A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that land use change, and the resulting decline in both area quality natural habitats, contributes to an increased incidence disease humans. Despite calls leverage conservation policy address burden linked ecosystem potential benefits are unknown. Efficiently reducing infectious through policies initiatives is challenging because it requires balancing trade-offs depend on ecological socioeconomic factors. To assess some these trade-offs,...
Abstract Background Metagenome-assembled genomes have greatly expanded the reference for skin microbiome. However, current are largely based on samples from adults in North America and lack representation infants individuals other continents. Results Here we use deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing to profile microbiota of 215 at age 2–3 months 12 who part VITALITY trial Australia as well 67 maternally matched samples. Based infant samples, present Early-Life Skin Genomes (ELSG) catalog,...
Sino-Australia relations have experienced a rapid deterioration in the past half-decade. From genial ties centred around trade and exchange, relationship has descended into mutual hostility, prompting editor of China's Global Times to notoriously liken Australia blob gum on bottom shoe. To explain deteriorating relationship, scholars proposed numerous ideas, pointing factors as wide-ranging 'Chinese influence', poor diplomacy efforts, ontological (in)security touched off by neoliberal...
The relationship between dietary patterns and chronic disease is underexplored in indigenous populations. We assessed diets of 424 American Indian (AI) adults living 5 rural AI communities. identified four food patterns. Increased prevalence for cardiovascular was highly associated with the consumption unhealthy snacks high fat–food (OR 3.6, CI = 1.06, 12.3; OR 6.0, 1.63, 22.1), respectively. Moreover, food-consumption pattern appeared to be different by community setting (p < .05)....
Few studies have tracked growth in children born extremely preterm (EP, <28 weeks' gestation) beyond late adolescence. The relationships between parameters (including weight and BMI) through childhood adolescence with later cardiometabolic health, are unclear those EP. We aimed to (i) compare from 2 25 years EP controls; the group (ii) determine associations of health.Prospective state-wide cohort all livebirths Victoria, Australia, 1991-1992 contemporaneous term-born controls. Z-scores for...
Evidence suggests exercise may benefit patients with advanced progressive illness and some hospice day services now provide dedicated gym space. However, supporting data for such a service development are limited. We describe patient referrals, interventions, feedback, potential impact of nine-session, outpatient, hospice-based, circuit programme.Consecutive referrals to physiotherapy over 6-month period commencing March 2013 were followed prospectively. Physical function (short physical...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been shown to be associated with lower levels of vitamin D, and the latter total cardiovascular (CVD) mortality.We hypothesized that D will further enhance association COPD its severity CVD studied 7746 US adults age ≥40 years without known (mean age, 59.8 years) followed up through 2006 (8.2 ± 2.5 for mortality. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin were categorized as tertiles: first tertile, <50.9 nm/L; second 50.9 73.6 third >73.6 nm/L. Severity was...
