Misconceptions of the marine biological carbon pump in a changing climate: Thinking outside the “export” box by Wolfgang Koeve (17452710)

“…The diagnostic is conveniently applicable to both climate model data and increasingly available observational data. It can explain a seemingly paradoxical response under anthropogenic climate change: Despite a decrease in export flux, the BCP intensifies due to a longer reemergence time of biogenically-stored carbon back to the surface and thereby provides a negative feedback to increasing atmospheric CO₂. …”

Table_1_Industrial fishing and its impacts on food security: a systematic review.XLSX by Samantha D. Farquhar (19431634)

“…Overall, four principal themes related to the perceived positive and negative and direct and indirect impacts of industrial fishing on food security were identified: (1) Industrial fishing activities provide jobs to local populations of which earnings are used to purchase other food items; (2) Industrial fishing activities provide fisheries products to local markets which are used as a common food source; (3) Industrial fishing activities damage the environment, leading to a decrease in the availability of catch for food or livelihood; (4) Industrial fishing activities outcompete local users and export catch to distant markets, thereby decreasing available food to local communities. …”

Ras Effector Mutant Expression Suggest a Negative Regulator Inhibits Lung Tumor Formation by Guillaume Vandal (469742)

<i>In Vivo</i> MRI Assessment of Hepatic and Splenic Disease in a Murine Model of Schistosmiasis by Brice Masi (798438)

Citrulline a More Suitable Substrate than Arginine to Restore NO Production and the Microcirculation during Endotoxemia by Karolina A. P. Wijnands (162718)

“…Jejunal tissues in the L-Citrulline-supplemented group showed, compared to the endotoxemic and L-Arginine-supplemented endotoxemic group, an increase in degree of phosphorylation of eNOS (Ser 1177) and a decrease in iNOS protein level. In conclusion, L-Citrulline supplementation during endotoxemia and not L-Arginine reduced intestinal microcirculatory dysfunction and increased intracellular NO production, likely via increased intracellular citrulline and arginine availability.…”

Immunocontraceptive target repertoire defined by systematic identification of sperm membrane alloantigens in a single species by Nathaly Cormier (4775262)

“…Consequently, sperm membrane alloantigens are potential targets for contraceptives that act by blocking the proteins’ functions in gamete interactions. Here we used a targeted proteomics approach to identify the major alloantigens in swine sperm membranes and lipid rafts, and thereby systematically defined the repertoire of these sperm-specific proteins in a single species. …”
