Low circulating adropin concentrations predict increased risk of cognitive decline in community-dwelling older adultsNARA Subscribed
The secreted peptide adropin is highly expressed in human brain tissues and correlates with RNA and proteomic risk indicators for dementia. Here we report that plasma adropin concentrations predict risk for cognitive decline in the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, NCT00672685; mean age 75.8y, SD = 4.5 years, 60.2% female, n = 452). Cognitive ability was evaluated using a composite cognitiv...
The freshwater transport (FWT) by the Labrador Current (LC) around the Grand Banks of Newfoundland (GBN) is diagnosed with the 26-year Global Ocean Physical Reanalysis 1/12° data (GLORYS12v1) during 1993 - 2018. The time-mean FWT of the LC above the 1027.25 kg/m 3 isopycnal surface is 83.6 mSv (1 mSv = 10 3 m 3 /s) southward through the Flemish Pass. Among this 83.6 mSv, 42% (35.2 mSv) is exported into the interior of the Nort...
The Gulf of St. Lawrence Biogeochemical Model: A Modelling Tool for Fisheries and Ocean ManagementOA Marine
The goal of this paper is to give a detailed description of the coupled physical-biogeochemical model of the Gulf of St. Lawrence that includes dissolved oxygen and carbonate system components, as well as a detailed analysis of the riverine contribution for different nitrogen and carbonate system components. A particular attention was paid to the representation of the microbial loop in order to maintain the appropriate level o...
Remembering Jerry Lwanga: A Perspective from His ColleaguesNARA Subscribed
We tested the response of lacustrine testate amoebae (thecamoebians) to climate and environmental changes for the Lateglacial–Holocene transition. The palaeoenvironmental history of the study site (Lake Lautrey, Jura Mountains, eastern France) was previously established based on high‐resolution multi‐proxy studies of the same core. The present study is characterised by a high taxonomic resolution (54 taxa), inclusion of small...
Biodiversity of amoebae and amoebae‐resisting bacteria in a drinking water treatment plantNARA Subscribed
Summary The complex ecology of free‐living amoebae (FLA) and their role in spreading pathogenic microorganisms through water systems have recently raised considerable interest. In this study, we investigated the presence of FLA and amoebae‐resisting bacteria (ARB) at various stages of a drinking water plant fed with river water. We isolated various amoebal species from the river and from several points within the plant, mostly...
