Let's Work Together: Connecting Research and the Community

The " mountains " in northeastern Oklahoma were ideal for four-wheeling in the summer and sledding in the winter, and people came from miles around to enjoy such recreation. But there was one problem with those mountains: they were actually enormous piles of mine tailings containing lead, zinc, and other heavy metals.

Hyperthermia Effects in the Presence of Gold Nanoparticles Together with Chemotherapy on Saos-2 Cell Line

Introduction: Hyperthermia created by microwave (MW), infrared, ultrasound and other methods, is often utilized as an adjuvant to sensitize cancer cells to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We investigated the efficacy of hyperthermia using MW in synergy with chemotherapy in the presence and absence and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Material and Methods: After culturing and prolif...

Health together: how community resources can enhance clinical practice.

Breeding together: modeling synchrony in productivity in a seabird community.

With environmental conditions changing rapidly, there is a need to move beyond single-species models and consider how communities respond to environmental drivers. We present a modeling approach that allows estimation of multispecies synchrony in productivity, or its components, and the contribution of environmental covariates as synchronizing and desynchronizing agents. We apply the model to l...
