Environmental and occupational exposure to arsenite is associated with an increased risk of human cancers, including skin, urinary bladder, and respiratory tract cancers. Although much evidence suggests that alterations in cell cycle machinery are implicated in the carcinogenic effect of arsenite, the molecular mechanisms underlying the cell cycle alterations are largely unknown. In the present...

In this collaborative research project, we formed a partnership of commercial fisherman and scientists from UNH and NYU to investigate stock definitions for Atlantic cod using DNA markers. Cod in U.S. waters are currently managed as two stocks: 1) a Gulf of Maine stock and 2) a Georges Bank and south stock. This designation is decades old and warrants reevaluation in light of concerns that fish...

A tagging study was conducted off the New Jersey coast to study sex change in Black Sea Bass Centropristis striata as a function of size, age, and spawning season. Throughout 2011–2013, 3,670 fish were measured and 1,498 were tagged from research, charter, and commercial fishing vessels. Of the tagged fish, 437 were recaptured. Size at 50% probability of sex change was 355 mm TL; the proportion...

IBM’s latest hardware facilities (Parallel Transaction Servers and the Coupling Facility) and software (MVS/SP 5 with its new WLM Workload Manager) are exciting and promise to offer relief in the cost of mainframe applications and ease of managing the resources. To gain immediate and valuable use of the new facilities, however, you should start your migration plan early -as in NOW! The speaker,...
