Comparative Environmental Sensitivity of Offshore Gulf of Mexico Waters…

Environmental sensitivity indices (ESIs) have long been used to identify coastal and shoreline resources particularly vulnerable to oil spills and ensuing mitigation measures. In the Gulf of Mexico, oil production by the United States and Mexico has increasingly focused on deepwater sources.

Comparison of the Spatial Extent, Impacts to Shorelines, and…

The ever-growing increase in deep-sea oil explorations in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) has been raising concerns with regard to future oil spills. Major oil spills in the GoM such as the Deepwater Horizon (DWH 2010) and the Ixtoc 1 (1979) resulted in extensive pollution of the pelagic, sea-floor, and coastal ecosystems.

Abstract 5103: The Dark Cancer Kinome—Untapped Opportunities for the…

Kinases are firmly established drug targets in cancer. There are currently 44 FDA-approved kinase drugs and hundreds of compounds are in clinical development. However, less than 10% of the Kinome is currently targeted and a large proportion is considered understudied by the NIH Illuminating the Druggable Genome Program (https://druggablegenome.net/).

Happiness and Joy Chapter-Handbook of Emotional Development

Happiness and joy involve feelings of positive engagement which are prototypically expressed through the face, voice, and body. Joyful smiles tend to be strong and involve both eye constriction (the Duchenne marker) and mouth opening. Through approximately 2 months of age, joyful expressions are primarily rooted in physiological arousal. Read more “Happiness and Joy Chapter-Handbook of Emotional Development” →
