Chronic Noise Exposure has Context-dependent Effects on Nestling Stress Physiology in Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)
(2020-04-14)Anthropogenic noise is increasing in intensity and scope, resulting in changes to acoustic landscapes and largely negative effects on a range of species. In birds, noise can mask acoustic signals used in a variety of ... -
CHRONIC, MULTI-GENERATIONAL EXPOSURE TO LOW DOSES OF IMIDACLOPRID: ITS EFFECTS ON CHEMICAL PRECONDITIONING AND MUTATION INDUCTION IN NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS IN MYZUS PERSICAE (HEMIPTERA: APHIDIDAE)
(2016-12-19)Hormesis is a phenomenon whereby exposure to low or sublethal doses of a chemical, physical, or biological stressor stimulate or enhance biological processes in an organism. Hormesis is an evolutionarily conserved process ... -

Circular Dichroism Studies of Spin Dynamics in 4-Aminomethyl Piperidinium Methyl Ammonium Lead Iodide Perovskite Quantum Wells
(2021-01-07)Two dimensional perovskites are planes of perovskite octahedra confined by an organic spacing layer, making a multiple quantum well structure. The structure of the organic spacing molecule causes distortions to the ... -
Circular Economic Approach To Dharavi: Existing Self-Build Framework Intervention
(2023-04-12)Informal settlements are rapidly growing worldwide. This is the result of rural population migration moving into urban capitals like Mumbai leading to a scarcity of space. They establish slum communities within the ... -
Circulating microRNAs Trigger Innate Immune Activation in Polytraumatic Injury
(2023-02-14)Inflammatory responses frequently follow severe traumatic injury and are, in part, a consequence of innate immune activation by endogenous immune triggers such as extracellular and micro-(mi)RNAs recognized by the pattern ... -
Circulation and Associated Variability in the Intra-Americas Sea: the Role of Loop Current Intrusion and Caribbean Eddies
(2010-08-17)Circulation and associated variability in the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) are examined using observations and numerical models. Vertically integrated transport variations through the Yucatan Channel in the model are found to ... -
