TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of a cognitive defusion technique first described by Titchener nearly 90 years ago: rapidly repeating a single word, which was compared to a distraction task, and to a thought control task on reductions in the discomfort and believability of self-relevant negative thoughts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors bring together hydrologists, critical zone scientists, and ESM developers to explore how hillslope structures may modulate ESM grid-level water, energy, and biogeochemical fluxes.
Abstract: Earth System Models (ESMs) are essential tools for understanding and predicting global change, but they cannot explicitly resolve hillslope‐scale terrain structures that fundamentally organize water, energy, and biogeochemical stores and fluxes at subgrid scales. Here we bring together hydrologists, Critical Zone scientists, and ESM developers, to explore how hillslope structures may modulate ESM grid‐level water, energy, and biogeochemical fluxes. In contrast to the one‐dimensional (1‐D), 2‐ to 3‐m deep, and free‐draining soil hydrology in most ESM land models, we hypothesize that 3‐D, lateral ridge‐to‐valley flow through shallow and deep paths and insolation contrasts between sunny and shady slopes are the top two globally quantifiable organizers of water and energy (and vegetation) within an ESM grid cell. We hypothesize that these two processes are likely to impact ESM predictions where (and when) water and/or energy are limiting. We further hypothesize that, if implemented in ESM land models, these processes will increase simulated continental water storage and residence time, buffering terrestrial ecosystems against seasonal and interannual droughts. We explore efficient ways to capture these mechanisms in ESMs and identify critical knowledge gaps preventing us from scaling up hillslope to global processes. One such gap is our extremely limited knowledge of the subsurface, where water is stored (supporting vegetation) and released to stream baseflow (supporting aquatic ecosystems). We conclude with a set of organizing hypotheses and a call for global syntheses activities and model experiments to assess the impact of hillslope hydrology on global change predictions.

TL;DR: This study aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, as to provide real-time information about prolapse preoperatively and the importance of cleanliness and tubal integrity in the early stages of pregnancy.
Abstract: Ten years after the first results from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) trial were published, it seems that the atmosphere around the issue of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is increasingly ev

TL;DR: Subsets are symmetric stable vectors that have previously appeared in the literature and the well-known multidimensional Brownian motion that are defined in the process of extension of the fractional diffusion equation to two or three dimensions.
Abstract: Extension of the fractional diffusion equation to two or three dimensions is not as simple as extension of the second-order equation. This is revealed by the solutions of the equations: unlike the Gaussian, the most general stable vector cannot be generated with an atomistic measure on the coordinate axes. A random combination of maximally skewed stable variables on the unit sphere generates a stable vector that is a general model of a diffusing particle. Subsets are symmetric stable vectors that have previously appeared in the literature and the well-known multidimensional Brownian motion. A multidimensional fractional differential operator is defined in the process.

TL;DR: The combination of SYBR-14 and PI was determined to be an effective tool for assessing the viability of fresh or cryopreserved sperm.
Abstract: A new membrane-permeant DNA stain, SYBR-14, was used in combination with propidium iodide (PI) to estimate the proportion of living sperm in bovine semen. The SYBR-14 stained living sperm while PI only stained degenerate cells that had lost their membrane integrity. Staining with SYBR-14 resulted in the nuclei of living sperm fluorescing bright green. Aliquots containing nearly all living bovine sperm were prepared using glass wool/Sephadex filtration to remove dead and damaged cells. A portion of this filtered sample was killed by unprotected freeze-thawing and used to provide mixed aliquots containing known ratios of living and dead sperm. Flow cytometry was used to assess the green and red fluorescence of these mixtures. The percentages of living sperm, as determined by the log of green fluorescence, were 85.1, 68.8, 39.8, 20.7, and 1.4 for ratios of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 of the filtered, killed mixtures. Also, bovine semen was diluted 1:60 in HEPES-0.1% bovine serum albumin and incubated for 0, 3, 6, and 24 hours at 36 degrees C to assess changes in cell viability. As cell death occurred during this incubation period, a relatively rapid transition of staining from green to red occurred as sperm died. Three replicates of cryopreserved sperm from six bulls were also examined using SYBR-14 and PI to assess the proportion of living and dead cells. Flow cytometric analyses of these samples, which had been processed and stored in homogenized milk, indicated that this stain combination was useful in assessing the quality of cryopreserved sperm. The combination of SYBR-14 and PI was determined to be an effective tool for assessing the viability of fresh or cryopreserved sperm.
