Developing Self Care Digital Trainings for Cancer Patients: An Implementation Research Project with Broad Stakeholder EngagementNARA Subscribed
Cancer-related fatigue and sleep problems are common and burdensome symptoms affecting many cancer patients. Mind Body Medicine techniques, such as acupressure and mindfulness-based techniques, have been shown to be effective in alleviating these symptoms. However, opportunities for patients to learn and apply these self care techniques are limited. This study aimed to develop two digital training programs to enable cancer pat...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Quantitative trait loci for bearing habit in a ‘Sparrow’ × ‘Schessler’ Juglans nigra mapping populationNARA Subscribed
Eastern black walnut, Juglans nigra L., is an economically important tree species valued for its high-quality timber and edible nuts. A regional industry for the species’ nut and kernel products resides in Missouri, where over 9 million kg of hulled in-shell nuts are purchased in masting years. The crop is primarily based upon nuts harvested from wild trees, placing a ceiling on nut volume and quality (e.g. small nut size, dar...
Current understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes underlying island biodiversity is heavily shaped by empirical data from plants and birds, although arthropods comprise the overwhelming majority of known animal species, and as such can provide key insights into processes governing biodiversity. Novel high throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches are now emerging as powerful tools to overcome limitations in the avail...
A review to frame the utilization of Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) cultivars in alley cropping systemsNARA Subscribed
Agroforestry adoptition is gaining considerable traction in the temperate US with growing popularity and government incentives (e.g., the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities Project) for systems with greenhouse gas mitigation potential. The identification of complementary species combinations will accelerate the expansion of temperate agroforestry. Since the mid-19th century, European timber plantations have taken advan...
One Website to Gather them All: Usability Testing of the New German SKin Cancer INFOrmation (SKINFO) Website—A Mixed-methods ApproachNARA Subscribed
Skin cancer patients increasingly search the internet to acquire disease-related information. However, information on the internet may be misleading. Recently, SKINFO has been launched, a website exclusively created for German-speaking skin cancer patients providing information as well as additional resources of verified quality. Here, we describe the results of the first usability test of SKINFO using a mixed-methods approach...
Kelp deposition changes mineralization pathways and microbial communities in a sandy beachNARA Subscribed
We investigated the impact of kelp deposition on the geochemistry and microbial community composition of beach sands on the island of Helgoland (North Sea). The composition of the microbial community at a beach with regular kelp deposition appeared shaped by this regular input of organic material, as indicated by significantly higher proportions of aerobic degraders, fermenters, and sulfur cycling microorganisms. Rapid degrada...
Spatial and developmental synthesis of endogenous sesquiterpene lactones supports function in growth regulation of sunflowerNARA Subscribed
Main conclusion Tissue-specific occurrence and formation of endogenous sesquiterpene lactones has been assessed and suggests physiological function as antagonists of auxin-induced plant growth in sunflower. Abstract Sunflower, Helianthus annuus , accumulate high concentrations of bioactive sesquiterpene lactones (STL) in glandular trichomes, but in addition, structurally different STL occur in only trace amounts in the inner t...
Microbial metal‐sulfide oxidation in inactive hydrothermal vent chimneys suggested by metagenomic and metaproteomic analysesNARA Subscribed
Summary Metal‐sulfides are wide‐spread in marine benthic habitats. At deep‐sea hydrothermal vents, they occur as massive sulfide chimneys formed by mineral precipitation upon mixing of reduced vent fluids with cold oxygenated sea water. Although microorganisms inhabiting actively venting chimneys and utilizing compounds supplied by the venting fluids are well studied, only little is known about microorganisms inhabiting inacti...
Summary Deep‐sea hydrothermal vents are highly dynamic habitats characterized by steep temperature and chemical gradients. The oxidation of reduced compounds dissolved in the venting fluids fuels primary production providing the basis for extensive life. Until recently studies of microbial vent communities have focused primarily on chemolithoautotrophic organisms. In our study, we targeted the change of microbial community com...
