Vulnerability of Amazon forests to storm-driven tree mortality
Tree mortality is a key driver of forest community composition and carbon dynamics. Strong winds associated with severe convective storms are dominant natural drivers of tree mortality in the Amazon. Why forests vary with respect to their vulnerability to wind events and how the predicted increase in storm events might affect forest ecosystems within the Amazon are not well understood. We found that windthrows are common in the Amazon region exte…
Public Health Department Accreditation Implementation
In response to a call for improved quality and consistency in public health departments, the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is leading a voluntary public health accreditation initiative in the United States. The public health department accreditation system will implement a comprehensive set of standards that set uniform performance expectations for health departments to provide the services necessary to keep communities healthy. Contin…
Nothing New Under the Sun
The article discusses an excerpt of an article by C. E. A. Winslow which is published within the issue and is concerned with the work on public health in the U.S. which was conducted between 1920 and 1935 by the American Public Health Association's Committee on Administrative Practice. In the article the authors offer their opinions on the committee and on the impact that it has had on public health improvement efforts in the U.S. in 2011
Group size, cage shelf level, and emotionality in non-obese diabetic mice
We hypothesized that differential housing, shown to influence emotionality and health in infectious and neoplastic disease, would influence onset/incidence of diabetes in an autoimmune animal model of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Non-obese diabetic mice were assigned to same-sex groups of one, five, or eight animals/cage, counterbalanced across shelf level by sex and group. During weekly urine glucose testing, presence of behaviors…
