Over the last two decades, there has been a substantial increase in street tree plantings across United States. Many cities have set ambitious planting goals, relying on volunteer community groups to meet them. Existing research demonstrates that stewardship increases survival of urban trees. There is lack research, however, how defining characteristics affect and growth trees they plant. This study explores significance group size (# participants), type (apartment, block watch, church,...
Integrated retroviral DNA is subject to epigenetic gene silencing, but the viral and host cell properties that influence initiation, maintenance, reactivation are not fully understood. Here we describe rapid high-frequency repression silencing of integrated avian sarcoma virus (ASV)-based vector DNAs in human HeLa cells. Initial studies utilized a carrying strong cytomegalovirus (hCMV) immediate-early (IE) promoter drive expression green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene, cells were...
Urban street trees face adverse growing conditions: compacted soils, extreme heat, lack of nutrients, drought, car damage and vandalism.Limited funding, however, is cited by urban tree-planting organizations as their major obstacle.To maximize budgets, many along the eastern United States have planted bare root a less expensive alternative to balled-and-burlapped (B&B) trees.Existing research indicates equivalent survival rates between B&B trees; but no has examined this in community...
Two organizations found ways to be more intentional about encouraging participation by a diverse spectrum of attendees at scientific meetings—the community can learn from their experiences.
Scientific meetings organized by professional organizations have been keystone activities of scientific culture and career advancement. They provide opportunities to share research results, promote discussion on current emerging education needs, apprentice early participants into the community, foster partnerships. However, are not equally inviting or accessible for all scientists, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. Organizers ensured diverse representation...
