Commercial perennial agriculture is prone to declining productivity due to negative plant-soil
feedback. An alternative to costly and environmentally harmful conventional treatment such …

A frequent conclusion based on study of individual records from the so-called Medieval
Warm Period (∼1000-1300 AD) is that the present warmth of the 20 th century is not unusual …

A magnetic resonance approach is presented that enables high-sensitivity, high-contrast
molecular imaging by exploiting xenon biosensors. These sensors link xenon atoms to specific …

Contraction of blood clots is necessary for hemostasis and wound healing and to restore flow
past obstructive thrombi, but little is known about the structure of contracted clots or the role …

Candida spp. cause both local and disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients.
Bloodstream infections of Candida spp., known as “candidemia,” are associated with a …

Candidemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis pose a significant diagnostic challenge.
In order to provide the best treatment, it is important to accurately detect the fungal infection …

NMR-based biosensors that utilize laser-polarized xenon offer potential advantages beyond
current sensing technologies. These advantages include the capacity to simultaneously …

Hyperpolarized 129 Xe NMR spectroscopy can detect the presence of specific low‐concentration
biomolecular analytes by means of a xenon biosensor that consists of a water‐soluble, …

Background ESKAPE bacteria are thought to be especially resistant to antibiotics, and their
resistance and prevalence in bloodstream infections are rising. Large studies are needed to …

The effects of grapevine red blotch disease (GRBD) on vine performance were studied in a
Cabernet franc vineyard in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, over two years. Vines with …
