Sitting time and risk of cancer incidence and cancer mortality in postmenopausal women: the Women’s Health Accelerometry CollaborationNARA Subscribed
Purpose Few studies have explored whether accelerometer-measured sedentary behavior increases cancer risk. We examined the associations of accelerometer-measured daily sitting time and mean sitting bout duration classified by the Convolutional Neural Network Hip Accelerometer Posture (CHAP) machine-learned algorithm with incidence of any cancer, incidence of 13 physical activity-related cancers, and cancer mortality among post...
Shifts in Phenology and Species Ranges Synergistically Alter the Timing and Species Composition of the Flowering SeasonNARA Subscribed
Global change is altering the phenology and geographic ranges of flowering species, with potentially profound consequences for the timing and composition of floral resources and the seasonal structure of ecological communities. However, shifts in flowering phenology and species distributions have historically been studied in isolation due to disciplinary silos and limited data, leaving critical gaps in our understanding of the...
Recent warming produced consistent shifts in seasonal richness of actively flowering species across multiple ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Many plant species alter both the timing and duration of their flowering in response to changing climate and often differ with respect to the magnitudes or directions of their phenological responses to climate changes. These shifts may have cumulative effects on the diversity of species simultaneously in flower throughout a given flowering season, resulting in periods of disproportionately high or low species richness of activ...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
Identifying and evaluating potential vaccine candidates has become one of the main objectives to combat tuberculosis. Among them, mannosylated Apa antigen from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the non-mannosylated protein expressed in Escherichia coli , have been studied. Although both proteins can induce a protective response in mice, it has been considered that native protein can be dispensed. In this work, we study the protec...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
Intracellular Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+ ]i) signaling and catecholamine (CA) exocytosis from adrenal chromaffin cells (CCs) differ between mammalian species. These differences partly result from the different contributions of Ca 2+ -induced Ca 2+ -release (CICR) from internal stores, which boosts intracellular Ca 2+ signals. Transient inhibition of the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (SERCA) Ca 2+ pump with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) reduces CIC...
Floating offshore multi-wind turbines (FOMWTs) are an interesting alternative to the up-scaling of wind turbines. Since this is a novel concept, there are few numerical tools for its coupled dynamic assessment at the present time. In this work, a numerical framework is implemented for the simulation of multi-rotor systems under environmental excitations. It is capable of analyzing a platform using leaning towers that handle wi...
