We live in an exceptionally dynamic and exciting time for the life sciences, in which our ability to acquire and disseminate knowledge is rapid, global, and everchanging. Technological advances have altered the way in which most life sciences laboratories operate. When I was a postdoc, substantial effort was needed to master basic molecular biology techniques that were complicated at the time b...

The distribution of caribou at the Palangana site (XCL-00130), Alaska, is compared to two models of hunter–gatherer food sharing. Variance reduction and tolerated theft based on ethnographic observations and mathematical modeling are translated into residual archaeological faunal assemblages based on element frequencies and anatomical refitting. These models, applied to the Palangana caribou as...

We establish the invariance property of a dynamically weighted Monte Carlo process and apply the method to the simulation of spin glasses and Ising models. For the two-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model, we obtain an ergodicity time of O( L2.44), where L is the linear dimension of the lattice. The results suggest that dynamic weighting is a highly promising new tool for Monte Carlo simulation. ...

We have read with great interest the two editorials by Burdorf et al: “The COVID-19 pandemic: one year later – an occupational perspective” (1) and (Coronavirus) consequences for health” (2). The authors highlight importance of societal outbreak changes in world work to manage health. key points identified such as individual socio­economic factors, psychological effects occupations highest risk...

The Barataria Bay Estuarine System (BBES) Stock is one of 31 identified stocks common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) occupying the bays, sounds, and estuaries northern Gulf Mexico (NOAA, 2019). stock (hereafter “dolphin population”) centered on Bay, a shallow (largely <2 m depth) estuarine system in Louisiana, close to mouth Mississippi River (Figure 1). This area was heavily impacted ...

Nanofiltration—a technology that selectively extracts critical materials from streams—can help secure resources while minimizing wasteful and unsustainable extraction practices. However, next-generation nanofiltration membranes must be designed with a fit-for-purpose framework in mind to fully harness its capabilities resource conservation minimize trade-offs. Rapid population economic growth r...

For the task of source retrieval, we focus on the process of Download Filtering. For the process from chunking to search control, we aim at high recall, and for the process of download filtering, we devote to improve precision. A vote-based approach and a classification-based approach are incorporated to filter the searching results to get the plagiarism sources. For the task of text alignment ...

This study compares Innu, Inuit and non-Aboriginal hospitalization rates for pneumonia in Labrador and Newfo...

Many open motor skills, for example in team sports and combat sports, are executed under mild to severe conditions of instability. Therefore, over the past two decades, coaching professionals and athletes have shown increasing interest in training routines to enhance the physical prerequisites for strength performance in this regard. Exercise scientists have identified instability resistance tr...

Adolescent depression has grown in interest to clinicians – in addition to the estimated 2 million cases of adolescent major depressive episodes each year, depressive symptoms in youth have become indicators of mental health complications later in life. Studies have indicated that low income is a risk factor for depression and that socioeconomically-disadvantaged teenagers are more than twice a...
