As the earth’s environment changes with the alteration of important putative environmental drivers (e.g., CO2, temperature, nitrogen deposition, biotic invasions, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events), ecologists and environmental biologists are scrambling to predict what the world may look like under these new conditions. To accomplish this goal, these scientists often use ...

INTRODUCTION Black-spot poison ivy is an uncommon clinical manifestation of contact with Toxicodendron plants. Unlike allergic contact dermatitis, which typically manifests in sensitized individuals within 2448 hours, the black lacquer that results from oxidation of the oleoresin after contact with the plant develops within hours of exposure and precedes allergic contact dermatitis, in some cas...

The importance of intellectual talent to achievement in all professional domains is well established, but less is known about other individual differences that predict success. The authors tested the importance of 1 noncognitive trait: grit. Defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit accounted for an average of 4% of the variance in success outcomes, including educational att...

Writing F = c9~ and gl2 = ~\~l l we have ~ = ~1 tJ 122 and 0i'~2 = ~, tJ F. We are concerned with the existence of positive solutions to the following system of nonli...

In this postmarketing study 9657 patients (5181 children) with bronchitis (acute or chronic bronchial inflammatory disease) were treated with a syrup containing dried ivy leaf extract. After 7 days of therapy, 95% of the patients showed improvement or healing of their symptoms. The safety of the therapy was very good with an overall incidence of adverse events of 2.1% (mainly gastrointestinal d...

We have shown that Protease N treated Royal Jelly (ProRJ) and peptides from ProRJ (Ile-Tyr (IY), Val-Tyr (VY), Ile-Val-Tyr (IVY)) inhibited angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and they have an antihypertensive effect in repeated oral administration for 28 d on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We investigated the contributive ratio of these peptides in ProRJ for antihypertensive...
