There is a general belief, reinforced by statements in standard textbooks, that: (i) one can obtain the full non-linear Einstein’s theory of gravity by coupling a massless, spin-2 field hab self-consistently to the total energy momentum tensor, including its own; (ii) this procedure is unique and leads to Einstein-Hilbert action and (iii) it only uses standard concepts in Lorentz invariant fiel...

UNLABELLED Neuroinflammation plays a significant role in Alzheimer disease (AD), and translocator protein (TSPO) PET imaging allows us to quantify this process. However, the binding of second-generation TSPO tracers depends on the TSPO genotype coded by the rs6971 single-nucleotide polymorphism, with a 40%-50% increase in BP in high-affinity binders (HABs) compared with mixed-affinity binders (...

Evidence indicates that the incidence of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) is increasing in spatial extent and temporal frequency worldwide. Cyanobacterial blooms produce highly potent toxins and huge, noxious biomasses in surface waters used for recreation, commerce, and as drinking water sources. The Interagency, International Symposium on Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (ISOC-H...

Contents The 13 chapters of this book cover a broad spectrum of topics. Chapter 1 discusses the variability and trends in global sea ice cover and sea level, and their potential effects on physicochemical parameters. Chapter 2 presents new techniques in environmental monitoring. Topics discussed include in-situ harmful algal bloom monitoring, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, biosens...

Genomic copy number variants (CNVs) have been implicated in multiple psychiatric disorders, but not much is known about their influence on anxiety disorders specifically. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and two additional array-based genotyping approaches, we detected CNVs in a mouse model consisting of two inbred mouse lines showing high (HAB) and low (LAB) anxiety-related behavior, res...

ABSTRACT Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can generate toxins that be aerosolized and negatively impact human health through inhalation. HABs are often found in waterways near residences, therefore, HAB potentially affect both indoor outdoor air quality. Given predicted to increase worldwide, effective mitigation strategies needed prevent the inhalation of toxins. In this work, we characterized p...

Thirteen potentially harmful algae taxa have been identified in the Maryland Coastal Bays: Aureococcus anophagefferens (brown tide), Pfiesteria piscicida and P. shumwayae, Chattonella spp., Heterosigma akashiwo, Fibrocapsa japonica, Prorocentrum minimum, Dinophysis spp., Amphidinium spp., Pseudo-nitzchia spp., Karlodinium micrum, and two macroalgae genera (Gracilaria and Chaetomorpha). The grea...
