Validation of X-Ray Fluorescence-Measured Swine Femur Lead Against Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2001)
The aim of this study was to apply the technique of 109Cd-based K-shell X-ray fluorescence (XRF) bone lead measurements to swine femurs and to validate the concentrations obtained therefrom against an independent chemical ...
Polymorphisms in Nucleotide Excision Repair Genes, Arsenic Exposure, and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer in New Hampshire
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)
Arsenic exposure may alter the efficiency of DNA repair. UV damage is specifically repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and common genetic variants in NER may increase risk for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We ...
Accurate 3D Tracking of Rigid Objects with Occlusion Using Active Appearance Models
(IEEE, 2005)
In this paper we present a new method for tracking rigid objects using a modified version of the Active Appearance Model. Unlike most of the other appearance-based methods
in the literature, such as [3,5,6,9,11], our ...
Mass and Metallicity of Five X-Ray-bright Galaxy Groups
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
We present ASCA X-ray observations of a sample of Ðve groups selected from a cross-correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the White et al. optical catalog of groups. These X-rayÈbright groups significantly increase ...
How reliable are self-measured blood pressures taken at home?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2004)
Self-measured blood pressures (SMBP) can be precise and accurate and, thus, reliably be used as an adjunct to office blood pressure measurements in selected clinical situations (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, ...
Genetically Modified Crops and Household Labor Savings in US Crop Production
(AgBioForum, 2009)
In spite of widespread adoption, there is mixed evidence as to whether adopting genetically modified (GM) crops increases farm welfare. One possible reason for widespread adoption is the labor savings. Using a treatment ...
Spillovers and Crowding Effects in a Mixed Biotech Industry : The Case of Canola
(AgBioForum, 2006)
This paper develops empirical models to estimate both interfirm research spillovers and crowding effects in the canola crop research industry. The potential sources of spillover include basic research, human capital/knowledge ...
The Question of Declining Sperm Density Revisited: An Analysis of 101 Studies Published 1934-1996
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2000-10)
In 1992 Carlsen et al. reported a significant global decline in sperm density between 1938 and 1990. We subsequently published a reanalysis of the studies included by Carlsen et al. In that analysis we found significant ...
The consequences of biotechnology : a broad view of the changes in the Canadian canola sector, 1969 to 2012
(AgBioForum, 2013)
This article is a broad assessment of the effect of biotechnology on canola in Canada. We examine the effects of biotechnology on the canola industry in terms of area, varieties, and yields, as well as the returns to ...
The Value of a New Biotechnology Considering R&D Investment and Regulatory Issues
(University of Missouri, 2015)
The prevalence of the products of biotechnology in Canada's canola industry is vast. More than 95% of Canada's seeded area is in herbicide-tolerant (HT) varieties, which are products of biotechnology. Overall, the industry ...
The Short and Long-term Variability of F2 or Stronger (Significant) Tornadoes in the Central Plains
(Missouri Academy of Science, 2004-08)
An analysis of the interannual and interdecadal variability of significant tornado events that occurred over a four state region in the central plains was performed over a 53 year period (1950 - 2002) using the Storm ...
Gamma oscillations in the basolateral amygdala : biophysical mechanisms and computational consequences
(Society for Neuroscience, 2019)
The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BL) is thought to support numerous emotional behaviors through specific microcircuits. These are often thought to be comprised of feedforward networks of principal cells (PNs) and ...
