This study investigated heterosexual HIV risk behaviors, changes in stage of change for safer sex and factors associated with such changes, among a diverse sample of 560 heterosexually active individuals presenting at publicly funded HIV C&T sites. Questionnaires were administrated before HIV C&T, and three months afterwards. Positive serostatus was the most significant predictor of safer behav...

We assess consumer demand for traditional fresh potatoes and processed potato products and willingness to pay for new experimental low-acrylamide and sulfite-free potato products. Demand for fresh potatoes, potato chips, and fries is unaffected by household income or education, but demand for chips and fries is affected by consumer age and exercise habits. Subjects display increased willingness...

This study investigated the performance and microbiome of cyclic denitrification filters (CDFs) for wood sulfur heterotrophic-autotrophic (WSHAD) saline wastewater. Wood-sulfur CDFs integrated into two pilot-scale marine recirculating aquaculture systems achieved high rates (103 ± 8.5 g N/(m3·d)). The combined use pine resulted in lower SO42? accumulation compared with prior wastewater studies ...

Oligotyping is a novel, supervised computational method that classifies closely related sequences into "oligotypes" (OTs) based on subtle nucleotide variation (Eren et al., 2013). Its application to microbial datasets has helped reveal ecological patterns which are often hidden by the way sequence data are currently clustered to define operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Here, we implemented th...
