    Titan's atmospheric temperatures, winds, and composition (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-05-17
    Description: Temperatures obtained from early Cassini infrared observations of Titan show a stratopause at an altitude of 310 kilometers (and 186 kelvin at 15 degrees S). Stratospheric temperatures are coldest in the winter northern hemisphere, with zonal winds reaching 160 meters per second. The concentrations of several stratospheric organic compounds are enhanced at mid- and high northern latitudes, and the strong zonal winds may inhibit mixing between these latitudes and the rest of Titan. Above the south pole, temperatures in the stratosphere are 4 to 5 kelvin cooler than at the equator. The stratospheric mole fractions of methane and carbon monoxide are (1.6 +/- 0.5) x 10(-2) and (4.5 +/- 1.5) x 10(-5), respectively.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Flasar, F M -- Achterberg, R K -- Conrath, B J -- Gierasch, P J -- Kunde, V G -- Nixon, C A -- Bjoraker, G L -- Jennings, D E -- Romani, P N -- Simon-Miller, A A -- Bezard, B -- Coustenis, A -- Irwin, P G J -- Teanby, N A -- Brasunas, J -- Pearl, J C -- Segura, M E -- Carlson, R C -- Mamoutkine, A -- Schinder, P J -- Barucci, A -- Courtin, R -- Fouchet, T -- Gautier, D -- Lellouch, E -- Marten, A -- Prange, R -- Vinatier, S -- Strobel, D F -- Calcutt, S B -- Read, P L -- Taylor, F W -- Bowles, N -- Samuelson, R E -- Orton, G S -- Spilker, L J -- Owen, T C -- Spencer, J R -- Showalter, M R -- Ferrari, C -- Abbas, M M -- Raulin, F -- Edgington, S -- Ade, P -- Wishnow, E H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 May 13;308(5724):975-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15894528" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A 5-micron-bright spot on Titan: evidence for surface diversity (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-10-08
    Description: Observations from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer show an anomalously bright spot on Titan located at 80 degrees W and 20 degrees S. This area is bright in reflected light at all observed wavelengths, but is most noticeable at 5 microns. The spot is associated with a surface albedo feature identified in images taken by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem. We discuss various hypotheses about the source of the spot, reaching the conclusion that the spot is probably due to variation in surface composition, perhaps associated with recent geophysical phenomena.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barnes, Jason W -- Brown, Robert H -- Turtle, Elizabeth P -- McEwen, Alfred S -- Lorenz, Ralph D -- Janssen, Michael -- Schaller, Emily L -- Brown, Michael E -- Buratti, Bonnie J -- Sotin, Christophe -- Griffith, Caitlin -- Clark, Roger -- Perry, Jason -- Fussner, Stephanie -- Barbara, John -- West, Richard -- Elachi, Charles -- Bouchez, Antonin H -- Roe, Henry G -- Baines, Kevin H -- Bellucci, Giancarlo -- Bibring, Jean-Pierre -- Capaccioni, Fabrizio -- Cerroni, Priscilla -- Combes, Michel -- Coradini, Angioletta -- Cruikshank, Dale P -- Drossart, Pierre -- Formisano, Vittorio -- Jaumann, Ralf -- Langevin, Yves -- Matson, Dennis L -- McCord, Thomas B -- Nicholson, Phillip D -- Sicardy, Bruno -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Oct 7;310(5745):92-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. jbarnes@lpl.arizona.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16210535" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    One-third of reef-building corals face elevated extinction risk from climate change and local impacts (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-07-26
    Description: The conservation status of 845 zooxanthellate reef-building coral species was assessed by using International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List Criteria. Of the 704 species that could be assigned conservation status, 32.8% are in categories with elevated risk of extinction. Declines in abundance are associated with bleaching and diseases driven by elevated sea surface temperatures, with extinction risk further exacerbated by local-scale anthropogenic disturbances. The proportion of corals threatened with extinction has increased dramatically in recent decades and exceeds that of most terrestrial groups. The Caribbean has the largest proportion of corals in high extinction risk categories, whereas the Coral Triangle (western Pacific) has the highest proportion of species in all categories of elevated extinction risk. Our results emphasize the widespread plight of coral reefs and the urgent need to enact conservation measures.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Carpenter, Kent E -- Abrar, Muhammad -- Aeby, Greta -- Aronson, Richard B -- Banks, Stuart -- Bruckner, Andrew -- Chiriboga, Angel -- Cortes, Jorge -- Delbeek, J Charles -- Devantier, Lyndon -- Edgar, Graham J -- Edwards, Alasdair J -- Fenner, Douglas -- Guzman, Hector M -- Hoeksema, Bert W -- Hodgson, Gregor -- Johan, Ofri -- Licuanan, Wilfredo Y -- Livingstone, Suzanne R -- Lovell, Edward R -- Moore, Jennifer A -- Obura, David O -- Ochavillo, Domingo -- Polidoro, Beth A -- Precht, William F -- Quibilan, Miledel C -- Reboton, Clarissa -- Richards, Zoe T -- Rogers, Alex D -- Sanciangco, Jonnell -- Sheppard, Anne -- Sheppard, Charles -- Smith, Jennifer -- Stuart, Simon -- Turak, Emre -- Veron, John E N -- Wallace, Carden -- Weil, Ernesto -- Wood, Elizabeth -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jul 25;321(5888):560-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1159196.

    New perspectives on ancient Mars (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-02-26
    Description: Mars was most active during its first billion years. The core, mantle, and crust formed within approximately 50 million years of solar system formation. A magnetic dynamo in a convecting fluid core magnetized the crust, and the global field shielded a more massive early atmosphere against solar wind stripping. The Tharsis province became a focus for volcanism, deformation, and outgassing of water and carbon dioxide in quantities possibly sufficient to induce episodes of climate warming. Surficial and near-surface water contributed to regionally extensive erosion, sediment transport, and chemical alteration. Deep hydrothermal circulation accelerated crustal cooling, preserved variations in crustal thickness, and modified patterns of crustal magnetization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Solomon, Sean C -- Aharonson, Oded -- Aurnou, Jonathan M -- Banerdt, W Bruce -- Carr, Michael H -- Dombard, Andrew J -- Frey, Herbert V -- Golombek, Matthew P -- Hauck, Steven A 2nd -- Head, James W 3rd -- Jakosky, Bruce M -- Johnson, Catherine L -- McGovern, Patrick J -- Neumann, Gregory A -- Phillips, Roger J -- Smith, David E -- Zuber, Maria T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Feb 25;307(5713):1214-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Washington, DC 20015, USA. scs@dtm.ciw.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15731435" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Satellite tagging and cardiac physiology reveal niche expansion in salmon sharks (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-10-08
    Description: Shark populations are declining globally, yet the movements and habitats of most species are unknown. We used a satellite tag attached to the dorsal fin to track salmon sharks (Lamna ditropis) for up to 3.2 years. Here we show that salmon sharks have a subarctic-to-subtropical niche, ranging from 2 degrees to 24 degrees C, and they spend winter periods in waters as cold as 2 degrees to 8 degrees C. Functional assays and protein gels reveal that the expression of excitation-contraction coupling proteins is enhanced in salmon shark hearts, which may underlie the shark's ability to maintain heart function at cold temperatures and their niche expansion into subarctic seas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weng, Kevin C -- Castilho, Pedro C -- Morrissette, Jeffery M -- Landeira-Fernandez, Ana M -- Holts, David B -- Schallert, Robert J -- Goldman, Kenneth J -- Block, Barbara A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Oct 7;310(5745):104-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Tuna Research and Conservation Center, Stanford University, Hopkins Marine Station, 120 Oceanview Boulevard, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16210538" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Ion neutral mass spectrometer results from the first flyby of Titan (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-05-14
    Description: The Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) has obtained the first in situ composition measurements of the neutral densities of molecular nitrogen, methane, molecular hydrogen, argon, and a host of stable carbon-nitrile compounds in Titan's upper atmosphere. INMS in situ mass spectrometry has also provided evidence for atmospheric waves in the upper atmosphere and the first direct measurements of isotopes of nitrogen, carbon, and argon, which reveal interesting clues about the evolution of the atmosphere. The bulk composition and thermal structure of the moon's upper atmosphere do not appear to have changed considerably since the Voyager 1 flyby.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waite, J Hunter Jr -- Niemann, Hasso -- Yelle, Roger V -- Kasprzak, Wayne T -- Cravens, Thomas E -- Luhmann, Janet G -- McNutt, Ralph L -- Ip, Wing-Huen -- Gell, David -- De La Haye, Virginie -- Muller-Wordag, Ingo -- Magee, Brian -- Borggren, Nathan -- Ledvina, Steve -- Fletcher, Greg -- Walter, Erin -- Miller, Ryan -- Scherer, Stefan -- Thorpe, Rob -- Xu, Jing -- Block, Bruce -- Arnett, Ken -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 May 13;308(5724):982-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2143, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15890873" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Prioritizing climate change adaptation needs for food security in 2030 (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-02-02
    Description: Investments aimed at improving agricultural adaptation to climate change inevitably favor some crops and regions over others. An analysis of climate risks for crops in 12 food-insecure regions was conducted to identify adaptation priorities, based on statistical crop models and climate projections for 2030 from 20 general circulation models. Results indicate South Asia and Southern Africa as two regions that, without sufficient adaptation measures, will likely suffer negative impacts on several crops that are important to large food-insecure human populations. We also find that uncertainties vary widely by crop, and therefore priorities will depend on the risk attitudes of investment institutions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lobell, David B -- Burke, Marshall B -- Tebaldi, Claudia -- Mastrandrea, Michael D -- Falcon, Walter P -- Naylor, Rosamond L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Feb 1;319(5863):607-10. doi: 10.1126/science.1152339.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Food Security and Environment Program, Woods Institute for the Environment and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA. dlobell@stanford.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18239122" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2009-07-04
    Description: The Phoenix mission investigated patterned ground and weather in the northern arctic region of Mars for 5 months starting 25 May 2008 (solar longitude between 76.5 degrees and 148 degrees ). A shallow ice table was uncovered by the robotic arm in the center and edge of a nearby polygon at depths of 5 to 18 centimeters. In late summer, snowfall and frost blanketed the surface at night; H(2)O ice and vapor constantly interacted with the soil. The soil was alkaline (pH = 7.7) and contained CaCO(3), aqueous minerals, and salts up to several weight percent in the indurated surface soil. Their formation likely required the presence of water.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, P H -- Tamppari, L K -- Arvidson, R E -- Bass, D -- Blaney, D -- Boynton, W V -- Carswell, A -- Catling, D C -- Clark, B C -- Duck, T -- Dejong, E -- Fisher, D -- Goetz, W -- Gunnlaugsson, H P -- Hecht, M H -- Hipkin, V -- Hoffman, J -- Hviid, S F -- Keller, H U -- Kounaves, S P -- Lange, C F -- Lemmon, M T -- Madsen, M B -- Markiewicz, W J -- Marshall, J -- McKay, C P -- Mellon, M T -- Ming, D W -- Morris, R V -- Pike, W T -- Renno, N -- Staufer, U -- Stoker, C -- Taylor, P -- Whiteway, J A -- Zent, A P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Jul 3;325(5936):58-61. doi: 10.1126/science.1172339.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. psmith@lpl.arizona.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19574383" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cyclopropenylidenes: from interstellar space to an isolated derivative in the laboratory (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-04-15
    Description: Like many of the molecular species that have been detected in the interstellar medium, the singlet carbene cyclopropenylidene (C3H2) has been presumed to be too unstable to isolate in the laboratory. However, by appending pi-electron-donating amino groups to the triangular skeleton, we prepared a cyclopropenylidene derivative that is stable at room temperature. In contrast to previously isolated carbenes, this compound does not require a heteroatom adjacent to the electron-deficient carbon to confer stability. Despite the presence of amino groups, the geometric parameters of the cyclic skeleton, revealed by x-ray crystallography, are only slightly perturbed relative to those of the calculated structure of unsubstituted cyclopropenylidene. Stable cyclopropenylidene derivatives might thus serve as models for a better understanding of the formation of carbon-bearing molecules in the interstellar medium.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2427275/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2427275/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lavallo, Vincent -- Canac, Yves -- Donnadieu, Bruno -- Schoeller, Wolfgang W -- Bertrand, Guy -- R01 GM 68825/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068825/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068825-01A2/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 May 5;312(5774):722-4.

    Global control of dimorphism and virulence in fungi (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-04-29
    Description: Microbial pathogens that normally inhabit our environment can adapt to thrive inside mammalian hosts. There are six dimorphic fungi that cause disease worldwide, which switch from nonpathogenic molds in soil to pathogenic yeast after spores are inhaled and exposed to elevated temperature. Mechanisms that regulate this switch remain obscure. We show that a hybrid histidine kinase senses host signals and triggers the transition from mold to yeast. The kinase also regulates cell-wall integrity, sporulation, and expression of virulence genes in vivo. This global regulator shapes how dimorphic fungal pathogens adapt to the mammalian host, which has broad implications for treating and preventing systemic fungal disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nemecek, Julie C -- Wuthrich, Marcel -- Klein, Bruce S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Apr 28;312(5773):583-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, WI 53792, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16645097" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
