TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.
Abstract: Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across species. Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, we found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in areas with a low human footprint. We attribute this reduction to behavioral changes of individual animals and to the exclusion of species with long-range movements from areas with higher human impact. Global loss of vagility alters a key ecological trait of animals that affects not only population persistence but also ecosystem processes such as predator-prey interactions, nutrient cycling, and disease transmission.

TL;DR: A device for injecting medicament without the use of a needle is disclosed wherein medicament is expelled from the device at high pressure, caused to break the skin of a patient, and appropriately forced into the patient's body.
Abstract: A device for injecting medicament without the use of a needle is disclosed wherein medicament is expelled from the device at high pressure, caused to break the skin of a patient, and appropriately forced into the patient's body. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a jet injector having a piston slidably movable within a medicament chamber to selectively change the volume of the medicament chamber and a mechanism for advancing the piston including releasably held springs which may be compressed by a winding mechanism or pressurized fluid. Medicament is provided to the medicament chamber from a medicament container mounted on the injector by a container holder assembly including flexible fingers that can be caused to grasp the pierceable cap of the medicament container. Medicament is then selectively directed from the medicament container to the medicament chamber by valving which, in a first position, interacts with a safety to provide air to the medicament container during the filling of the medicament chamber and, in a second position, allows injection into the patient while the safety prevents movement of the valve member from the second position during injection and simultaneously blocks air communication to the medicament container.

TL;DR: This paper proposes the adaptive Elastic-Net that combines the strengths of the quadratic regularization and the adaptively weighted lasso shrinkage and establishes the oracle property of the adaptive elastic-Net under weak regularity conditions.
Abstract: We consider the problem of model selection and estimation in situations where the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. When the dimension is high, an ideal method should have the oracle property (Fan and Li, 2001; Fan and Peng, 2004) which ensures the optimal large sample performance. Furthermore, the high-dimensionality often induces the collinearity problem which should be properly handled by the ideal method. Many existing variable selection methods fail to achieve both goals simultaneously. In this paper, we propose the adaptive Elastic-Net that combines the strengths of the quadratic regularization and the adaptively weighted lasso shrinkage. Under weak regularity conditions, we establish the oracle property of the adaptive Elastic-Net. We show by simulations that the adaptive Elastic-Net deals with the collinearity problem better than the other oracle-like methods, thus enjoying much improved finite sample performance.

TL;DR: This biennial update presents a new chemical–phenotype module that codes chemical-induced effects on phenotypes, curated using controlled vocabularies for chemicals, phenotype, taxa, and anatomical descriptors, and describes new querying and display features for the enhanced chemical–exposure science module, providing greater scope of content and utility.
Abstract: The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD; http://ctdbase.org/) is a premier public resource for literature-based, manually curated associations between chemicals, gene products, phenotypes, diseases, and environmental exposures. In this biennial update, we present our new chemical-phenotype module that codes chemical-induced effects on phenotypes, curated using controlled vocabularies for chemicals, phenotypes, taxa, and anatomical descriptors; this module provides unique opportunities to explore cellular and system-level phenotypes of the pre-disease state and allows users to construct predictive adverse outcome pathways (linking chemical-gene molecular initiating events with phenotypic key events, diseases, and population-level health outcomes). We also report a 46% increase in CTD manually curated content, which when integrated with other datasets yields more than 38 million toxicogenomic relationships. We describe new querying and display features for our enhanced chemical-exposure science module, providing greater scope of content and utility. As well, we discuss an updated MEDIC disease vocabulary with over 1700 new terms and accession identifiers. To accommodate these increases in data content and functionality, CTD has upgraded its computational infrastructure. These updates continue to improve CTD and help inform new testable hypotheses about the etiology and mechanisms underlying environmentally influenced diseases.
