Deconstructing climate misinformation to identify reasoning errors

Cook, John; Ellerton, Peter; Kinkead, David (Environmental Research Letters, 2018-02)

Misinformation can have significant societal consequences. For example, misinformation about climate change has confused the public and stalled support for mitigation policies. When people lack the expertise and skill to ...
Designing Wetlands as an Essential Infrastructural Element for Urban Development in the era of Climate Change

Ahn, Changwoo; Schmidt, Stephanie (Sustainability, 2019)

The increasing development of urban infrastructure has led to the significant loss of natural wetlands and their ecosystem services. Many novel urban development projects currently attempt to incorporate environmental ...
Developing effective communication materials on the health effects of climate change for vulnerable groups: a mixed methods study

Kreslake, Jennifer; Price, Katherine M.; Sarfaty, Mona (BioMedCentral Public Health, 2016-09)

Background Individuals with chronic health conditions or low socioeconomic status (SES) are more vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change. Health communication can provide information on the management of these ...

Gostel, Morgan R.; Weeks, Andrea (Botanical Society of America, 2014-03-31)

Premise of the study: Novel nuclear exon-primed intron-crossing (EPIC) markers were developed to increase phylogenetic resolution among recently diverged lineages in the frankincense and myrrh family, Burseraceae, using ...
Diabetes, obesity, and recommended fruit and vegetable consumption in relation to food environment sub-types: a cross-sectional analysis of Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, United States Census, and food establishment data

Frankenfeld, Cara L.; Leslie, Timothy F.; Makara, Matthew A. (BioMed Central, 2015-05-14)

Background Social and spatial factors are an important part of individual and community health. The objectives were to identify food establishment sub-types and evaluate prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and recommended ...
Distinct and synergistic feedforward inhibition of pyramidal cells by basket and bistratified interneurons

Ferrante, Michele; Ascoli, Giorgio A. (Frontiers, 2015-11-05)

Feedforward inhibition (FFI) enables pyramidal cells in area CA1 of the hippocampus (CA1PCs) to remain easily excitable while faithfully representing a broad range of excitatory inputs without quickly saturating. Despite ...
Dynamical structure underlying inverse stochastic resonance and its implications

Uzuntarla, Muhammet; Cressman, John R.; Ozer, Mahmut; Barreto, Ernest (American Physical Society, 2013-10-31)

We investigate inverse stochastic resonance (ISR), a recently reported phenomenon in which the spiking activity of a Hodgkin-Huxley model neuron subject to external noise exhibits a pronounced minimum as the noise intensity ...
Ecology, livelihoods, and management of the Mauritia flexuosa palm in South America

Virapongse, Arika; Endress, Bryan A.; Gilmore, Michael P.; Horn, Christa M.; Romulo, Chelsie (Elsevier, 2017-04)

Mauritia flexuosa is a key ecological and economic palm found throughout tropical South America. To inform improved management of M. flexuosa, we conducted a systematic review of published information about the ecology, ...
The Effect of an Authentic Acute Physical Education Session of Dance on Elementary Students’ Selective Attention

Kulinna, P. H.; Stylianou, M.; Dyson, B.; Banville, D.; Dryden, C.; Colby, R. (BioMed Research International, 2018-02)

There have been calls to test the potential benefits of different forms of physical activity (PA) to executive function, particularly in authentic settings. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect ...
Effect of compensatory acceleration training in combination with accommodating resistance on upper body strength in collegiate athletes

Jones, Margaret T. (Dove Medical Press Lmtd., 2014-08-04)

Purpose: To determine the impact of inclusion of a band or chain compensatory acceleration training (CAT), in a 5-week training phase, on maximal upper body strength during a 14-week off-season strength and conditioning ...
The Effect of Gentle Handling on Depressive-Like Behavior in Adult Male Mice: Considerations for Human and Rodent Interactions in the Laboratory

Neely, Caroline Leigh Copeland; Lane, Christina; Torres, Julio; Flinn, Jane M. (Behavioural Neurology, 2018-03)

Environmental factors play a significant role in well-being of laboratory animals. Regulations and guidelines recommend, if not require, that stressors such as bright lighting, smells, and noises are eliminated or reduced ...
Effective Automated Feature Construction and Selection for Classification of Biological Sequences

Kamath, Uday; De Jong, Kenneth; Shehu, Amarda (Public Library of Science, 2014-07-17)

Background Many open problems in bioinformatics involve elucidating underlying functional signals in biological sequences. DNA sequences, in particular, are characterized by rich architectures in which functional signals ...
Effects of Menthol on Nicotine Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacology and Dependence in Mice

Alsharari, Shakir D.; King, Justin R.; Nordman, Jacob C.; Muldoon, Pretal P.; Jackson, Asti; Zhu, Andy Z. X.; Tyndale, Rachel F.; Kabbani, Nadine; Damaj, M. Imad. (Public Library of Science, 2015-09-10)

Although menthol, a common flavoring additive to cigarettes, has been found to impact the addictive properties of nicotine cigarettes in smokers little is known about its pharmacological and molecular actions in the brain. ...
Effects of protected area downsizing on habitat fragmentation in Yosemite National Park (USA), 1864 – 2014

Kroner, Rachel E. Golden; Krithivasan, Roopa; Mascia, Michael (Ecology and Society, 2016-09)

Protected area downgrading, downsizing, and degazettement (PADDD) has been documented worldwide, but its impacts on biodiversity are poorly understood. To fill this knowledge gap, we reviewed historical documents to identify ...
Employment Growth through Labor Flow Networks

Guerrero, Omar A.; Axtell, Robert L. (Public Library of Science, 2013-05-02)

It is conventional in labor economics to treat all workers who are seeking new jobs as belonging to a labor pool, and all firms that have job vacancies as an employer pool, and then match workers to jobs. Here we develop ...
Environmental influences on neural systems of relational complexity

Kalbfleisch, M. Layne; deBettencourt, Megan T.; Kopperman, Rebecca; Banasiak, Meredith; Roberts, Joshua M.; Halavi, Maryam (Frontiers, 2013-09-26)

Constructivist learning theory contends that we construct knowledge by experience and that environmental context influences learning. To explore this principle, we examined the cognitive process relational complexity (RC), ...
The ethnoprimatology of the Maijuna of the Peruvian Amazon and implications for primate conservation

Roncal, Carla Mere; Bowler, Mark; Gilmore, Michael P. (Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2018-03)

In Amazonia, primates are not only an important food source but they also hold significant cultural and symbolic value for many indigenous groups. We document the relationship between primates and community members of the ...
