Methane is abundant in marine subsurface sediments, sourced from microbial or thermocatalytic production. The relative composition of its isotopologues (12CH4, 13CH4, 12CH3D and 13CH3D) used to infer sources sinks. anaerobic oxidation methane (AOM) an important sink reaction carried out by consortia methanotrophic archaea (ANME) partner bacteria the presence sulfate. We investigated isotopologu...

Here we calibrate the carbonate clumped isotope thermometer in modern deep-sea corals. We examined 11 specimens of three species of deep-sea corals and one species of a surface coral spanning a total range in growth temperature of 2–25 C. External standard errors for individual measurements ranged from 0.005& to 0.011& (average: 0.0074&) which corresponds to 1–2 C. External standard errors for ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the various morphologies and kinetic characteristics of the ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam, to establish which are the most prevalent and to determine the effectiveness of the method in the detection of DCIS. METHOD A prospective observational study, starting in May 2014. We evaluated 25 conse...

Saprophagous (feeding on decaying matter) insects often use carbon dioxide (CO2) as a cue for finding food. Humus-feeding larvae of the giant rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus exhibit a clumped distribution in natural microhabitats, but the mechanisms driving the distribution were unknown. Herein, I examined whether larvae use CO2 as a cue for fermented humus and aggregate in the vicinity...

Mice lacking the transcription factor Nrl have no rod photoreceptors and an increased number of short-wavelength-sensitive cones. Missense mutations in NRL are associated with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa; however, the phenotype associated with the loss of NRL function in humans has not been reported. We identified two siblings who carried two allelic mutations: a predicted null alle...

BACKGROUND Hyalinizing trabecular tumors (HTT) are rare follicular cell-derived tumors of the thyroid gland that are infrequently reported in otolaryngology literature. We present here an interesting case of HTT which provides the basis for review of this entity's clinical characteristics, criteria useful in making the diagnosis, and any currently available therapeutic modalities. CASE PRESEN...
