Alterations of Single Molecule Fluorescence Lifetimes in Near-Field Optical Microscopy
Fluorescence lifetimes of single Rhodamine 6G molecules on silica surfaces were measured with pulsed laser excitation, time-correlated single photon counting, and near-field sca...
Selective Roles for Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 in the Regulation of Neutrophil Activation and Life Span
Abstract Neutrophil responses to commercial LPS, a dual Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 activator, are regulated by TLR expression, but are amplified by contaminating monocyt...
An Investigation of the Rationality of Consumer Valuations of Multiple Health Risks
After developing a conceptual analysis of consumer valuation of multiple risks, we explore both economic and cognitive hypotheses regarding individual risk-taking. Using a sampl...
Environmental and dispositional influences on well‐being: Longitudinal follow‐up of an American national sample
Both laypersons and social scientists typically assume that psychological well‐being or happiness is a response to objective circumstances or events. The present study contribut...
Vulnerability of South African animal taxa to climate change
Abstract The responsiveness of South African fauna to climate change events is poorly documented and not routinely incorporated into regional conservation planning. We model the...
Analysis of Risk Factors for Stroke in a Cohort of Men Born in 1913
We analyzed parental death from stroke and other potential risk factors in relation to the incidence of stroke among 789 men, all 54 years old at the base-line examination. Duri...
Predicting species distributions from museum and herbarium records using multiresponse models fitted with multivariate adaptive regression splines
ABSTRACT Current circumstances — that the majority of species distribution records exist as presence‐only data (e.g. from museums and herbaria), and that there is an established...
Stressful life events and genetic liability to major depression: genetic control of exposure to the environment?
In women, genetic risk factors for MD increase the probability of experiencing SLEs in the interpersonal and occupational/financial domains. Genes can probably impact on the ris...
Principles for modeling propensity scores in medical research: a systematic literature review
Abstract Purpose To document which established criteria for logistic regression modeling researchers consider when using propensity scores in observational studies. Methods We p...
Angiotensin II stimulates the proliferation and biosynthesis of type I collagen in cultured murine mesangial cells.
A murine mesangial cell line (MMC) was established from the glomeruli of SJL mice to study the influence of angiotensin II (ANG II) on their growth and function in a serum-free ...
Should there be a moratorium on the use of cholesterol lowering drugs?
2][3][4] The degree of disagreement is surprising as they review essentially the same data, from clinical trials of cholesterol lowering by drugs or by diet.There is agreement a...
