The oak, to gain its present most northerly position in North Britain after being driven out by the cold probably had travel fully six hundred miles, and this without external aid would take something like a million years. (Reid 1899)

The accuracy of a computerized metabolic system, using inspiratory and expiratory methods measuring ventilation, was assessed in eight male subjects. Gas exchange measured at rest during five stages on cycle ergometer. Pneumotachometers were placed the inspired expired side to measure (VI) ventilation (VE). devices connected two systems sampling O(2) CO(2) from single mixing chamber. Simultaneously, criterion (Douglas bag, or DB) method VE fractions gas (FE(O(2)) FE(CO(2))) for subsequent...

Concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops include transgene flow to compatible wild species and unintended ecological consequences of potential introgression. However, there has been little empirical documentation establishment distribution transgenic plants in populations. We present herein the first evidence for escape transgenes into plant populations within USA; glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) expressing CP4 EPSPS were found outside cultivation area...

An individual's occupational activity (OA) may contribute significantly to daily physical (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB). However, there is little consensus about which categories involve high OA or low OA, the majority of are unclassifiable with current methods.

Abstract While conducting toxicity tests with nano titanium dioxide, the authors found that test suspensions were being contaminated aluminum and from tip erosion during direct sonication. The contaminating alloy particles had a measurable size distribution zeta potential using dynamic light scattering, which changed measured characteristics of suspensions. Caution should be used when employing sonication for preparing due to interferences these in toxicological assessments. Environ....
