infancy and causes severe vision loss, especially at night. An estimated 2,000 Americans have the form of the disease they targeted, Bennett said. But other reports were not satisfied with a mere 2,000 potential beneficiaries. New hope is offered to “millions affected by eye diseases” said the Independent. This was “hundreds of thousands” in the Los Angeles Times. But the LA Times also highligh...

Staphylococcus aureus has two superoxide dismutases (SODs), encoded by the sodA and sodM genes, which inactivate harmful superoxide radicals () encountered during host infection or generated from aerobic metabolism. The transcriptional start sites have been mapped and expression analysis on reporter fusions in both genes has been carried out. Under standard growth conditions, manganese (Mn), a ...

BACKGROUND Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda, have been shown to play an important role in weight gain. Although soda consumption has been associated with body mass index (BMI) in many studies, it has been difficult to ascertain a true causal relationship between soda consumption and BMI for two reasons. First, findings have been based largely on observational and cross-sec...

Measurement of soil CO2 efflux using a non-flow-through steady-state (NFT-SS) chamber with alkali absorption of CO2 by soda lime was tested and compared with a flow-through non-steady-state (FT-NSS) IRGAmethod to assess suitability of using soda lime for field monitoring over large spatial scales and integrated over a day. Potential errors and artifacts associated with the soda lime chamber met...

Drinking too much of the bubbly? It?s not clear if you?re a regular or diet soda drinker, but regular soda is a source of sugar, caffeine, sometimes coloring, and little else. One twelveounce can of regular soda typically contains eight teaspoons of sugar and 130 calories ? but zero nutritional content. The American Heart Association [2] recommends that individuals assigned male at birth limit ...

This paper describes the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis of ocean climate variability. In the assimilation, a model forecast produced by an ocean general circulation model with an average resolution of 0.25° 0.4° 40 levels is continuously corrected by contemporaneous observations with corrections estimated every 10 days. The basic reanalysis, SODA 1.4.2, spans the 44-yr period ...
