Environmental Resources Research Institute Annual Technical Report FY 2000

In the base grant project, Impact of Stream-Subsurface Exchange on Fine Sediment Dynamics in Streams funded through Drexel University, the objectives were to examine the complex interactions between high sediment loadings, downstream transport of suspended sediment, stream-subsurface exchange and siltation of stream beds. Results demonstrate that stream-subsurface exchange delivers suspended se...

Comparative effectiveness research: a report from the Institute of Medicine.

On 30 June 2009, another milestone was achieved in progress toward a national system to promote medical research that focuses on decision making by physicians and patients. The first steps occurred in late 2007 and early 2008 with a seminal article (1) and an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report that called for a national initiative of research that would support better decision making about inte...

Lansbury and Caughey state in their Primer on prion proteins [1] “Mice lacking the PrP gene, first produced by Charles Weissmann and colleagues, are viable, but have altered neuronal function and develop neurological abnormalities later in life.” This statement is misleading. The PrP-knockout mice produced in our laboratory [2] do not show neurological abnormalities at any time and we have neve...

The bold — almost, some might feel, naïve — ambition these titles betray is unashamedly the author’s: to generate a coherent picture of how genes are switched on and off. Mark Ptashne’s approach has always been transparent. During gro...
