Allergenic potential of street trees in Boston, Massachusetts. In: Kabisch N, Larondelle N, Reeve A (eds). Human-Environmental Interactions in Cities: Challenges and Opportunities of Urban Land Use Planning and Green Infrastructure. Cambridge Scholars Publishing: Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2014. ...
Another major piece will be communication and coordination among public health departments, which in the United States are scattered at federal, state and local levels. "In Massachusetts, where I worked," Betancourt noted, "every single town had its own public health department." Then there's th...
19?65 (Union of Concerned Scientists, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1998). Transgenic pollen harms monarch larvae Although plants transformed with genetic material from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are generally thought to have negligible impact on non-target organisms 1 , Bt corn plants ...
She's a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.The researchers also found that infected pregnant women transferred significantly less immunity against the virus to male fetuses than to female fetuses, which could affect an infant's risk of being infected with ...
At higher expression levels, GFP-NtADF1 decorates almost exclusively a subapical mesh-like structure in some tubes (Figure 1C–1E), or a mesh and a basket- or funnel-shaped subapical structure together with long actin cables along the shank of some pollen tubes (Figure 1B). The sub...
A number of studies have reported on the risk of LAA among animal workers, and estimates of the prevalence of animal allergy among animal handlers as high as 33% have been reported (Massachusetts Department of Health, 1999), particularly for persons occupationally exposed to laboratory rodents and...
Kevin Ma and his colleagues at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have invented a specialized laser-manufacturing process that allowed them to create tiny composite structures, including mechanical wings and flight muscles. The researchers used the components to build 80-milligram robotic ...
Stone and pome fruit tree pollen is notable for having high levels of 24mCh [[8],[9]], but what is especially of interest is that in colonies foraging upon low-24mCh pollens, such as blackberry or goldenrod, that the nurse bees concentrate 24mCh to levels much higher than it is in...
Since the DWV levels of the E- and H-yard breeders are too low to show in this non-logarithmic graph, I just put the relative expression numbers above where their blue columns would be. Qualifier: Again, there were only 8 mite-resistant colonies, but their average virus expression levels ...
which includes increased temperatures and levels of particulate matter, coincided with increased emergency visits for breathing problems among seniors," said study author Dr. Christopher Worsham. He's a research fellow in the pulmonary and critical care unit at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston....
