- Description:
- The research described here includes a combination of in vivo animal studies and in vitro cell studies. The animal studies were conducted in NSG mice purchased from Jackson Laboratories and involve implantation of a cell-laden scaffold, animal monitoring, and scaffold explantation. After explantation, scaffolds could be analyzed using PCR or staining. The in vitro cell studies involved administration of Exendin-4 during differentiation of hPSC-derived beta cells and had endpoints such as PCR, flow cytometry, and staining.

- Description:
- Cover crops support ecosystem services in agroecosystems, but their performance can be highly variable. Functional trait ecology provides a useful framework for understanding variation in cover crop performance across different growing conditions. However, trait variation within species remains understudied compared to variation between species. In a two-year experiment, we measured nine functional traits for three cover crop species across 13 fields on working farms that spanned a gradient of soil health. Each field contained three cover crop treatments: a functionally diverse mixture of cereal rye (Secale cereale), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum), and dwarf-essex rapeseed (Brassica napus), and rye and clover monocrops. We evaluated i) the magnitude and relative importance of intraspecific and interspecific trait variation; ii) which soil health indicators best explained trait variation; and iii) whether interspecific interactions in mixture induced trait plasticity. Despite strong trait contrasts between species, intraspecific trait variation comprised 50% of total trait variation, on average. Trait variation was best explained by particulate organic matter nitrogen (POM N), soil phosphorus, pH, and permanganate oxidizable carbon for clover; by POM N and soil phosphorus for rye; and by POM N for dwarf essex. Rye and clover also showed significant trait plasticity in mixture relative to monocrop treatments. Our study demonstrates that intraspecific and interspecific trait variation are equally important, and that examining trait variation within species can improve the ability to predict cover crop outcomes. This information can inform cropping system design in distinct contexts to promote success of component species and complementary ecosystem functions.

- Description:
- an .xlsx spreadsheet with multiple sheets, and each sheet saved in csv format. Sheets are: nouns; flora; fauna; adjectives; numerals; verbs; and other (including adverbs and grammatical morphemes). , The fauna and flora entries are also copied verbatim in the nouns sheet. Species identifications are given where known. The adjectives sheet includes verbs related to the modifying adjectives, and these verbs are also included in the verbs sheet. Noun, adjective, and verb stems often have different tonal forms in different grammatical contexts, and representative forms are presented in different columns in each sheet. For the verbs (except statives), perfective (Pfv) and imperfective (Ipfv) stems are also presented. Many of the adverbs in the "other" sheet are also copied in the nouns sheet. Other columns have codes for lexical tone melody, shape (in CvCv form), and valency (for verbs). English and French translations are provided for each item; for some items additional comments are in another column. , and The .xlsx version is handy for sorting using various criteria (e.g. to get all /H/-melodic stems of CvCv shape). The lexical spreadsheets are designed to be used with the Tigemaxo grammar and the Tigemaxo transcribed/translated texts volume, both in Deep Blue Documents. Similar documents and spreadsheets have been deposited for other Bozo languages covered in this project (Cliffs Jenaama, Jenaama/Sorogaama of Djenné, and Kelenga).

- Description:
- We analyzed satisfaction with care, out-of-pocket costs, and specialist access among community-dwelling Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey respondents, 2015–2019, in the 50 states and Washington, DC. For each measure, we constructed a binary indicator indicating very satisfied (vs. very dissatisfied to satisfied)., We used logistic regression to model outcomes as a function of Medicare Advantage - MA (vs. Traditional Medicare - TM) enrollment, respondent-reported race/ethnicity, and interactions of MA with race/ethnicity. Race/ethnicity was categorized as non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White. We adjusted for age, sex, education, income, tobacco use, chronic conditions, functional limitations, disability, and geographic factors. Racial/ethnic disparities reflect effects of structural factors that systematically disadvantage members of minoritized racial/ethnic groups. Because structural racism contributes to disparities in socioeconomic status (including income and education), we verified that our estimates did not change appreciably when we did not adjust for socioeconomic factors. , and Analyses were weighted by a composite of survey weights and propensity score weights to balance MA and TM populations within racial/ethnic groups. Separate analyses were conducted for beneficiaries with vs. without dual eligibility for full Medicaid. We used SAS to process the data.

- Description:
- This study uses an array of stratigraphic, morphological, and geochemical tools to investigate lateral and temporal variability in environmental records preserved by microbialites during a global hothouse environment. It also inverts tools for reconstructing environmental conditions to elucidate ancient microbial processes. Key Points: - The Green River Basin, WY, USA preserves lacustrine microbialites deposited during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum, a period of high CO2 and temperatures - Morphological and geochemical analyses of these microbialites preserve variable local, regional, and global environmental conditions - Measurements of environmental conditions can be inverted to understand ancient microbial processes, which could be used to inform modeling of microbial influences on carbon cycling and Abstract: The Green River Basin, WY, USA, contains extensive lacustrine microbialite beds that formed during the hothouse Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (53–49 Ma). The records of biological, chemical, and physical processes preserved in these microbialites can inform our understanding of terrestrial conditions in this warm climate, but separating the competing signals of local, regional and global changes is difficult. Studies focusing on individual localities may miss spatial drivers of differences in microbialites. In this study, we used stratigraphic, morphological, and geochemical techniques to study microbialites deposited in the Green River Basin across three million years spanning the peak of the EECO, including samples from two beds covering 13–25 km of lateral extent. These samples cover a broad set of lake conditions as well as local differences such as spring deposits. We found that these microbialites preserved a mixture of conditions such as global hothouse temperatures, regional shifts in lake level, and local variability from sediment and water sources. Morphological and elemental variability were driven primarily by local and regional conditions such as stream, spring, and clastic inputs and water depth. Isotopic data preserved these local and regional changes as well as evidence of global hothouse conditions. Comparison of past [CO2] estimates to reconstructions using organic and inorganic carbon isotopes with clumped isotope-derived temperatures provides evidence for low to moderate microbial growth rates in these microbialite building communities, demonstrating that environmental tools can be inverted to better understand ancient microbial processes. A diverse toolkit was necessary to isolate the individual controls on microbialite records, and comparing across both space and time enabled us to identify local drivers that lead to significant differences from the expected regional signal.
