Drug and alcohol dependence
Background Consumption of machine-injected roll-your-own (RYO) filtered cigarettes made from pipe tobacco increased almost 7-fold from 2008–2011 in the United States. Methods We used data from the Pennsylvania Adult Smoking Study to compare the differences in sociodemographic, smoking topography, nicotine dependence, and cotinine levels between 280...

Globalization and Health
BackgroundThe island country of Samoa (population 188,000 in 2011) forms part of Polynesia in the South Pacific. Over the past several decades Samoa has experienced exceptional modernization and globalization of many sectors of society, with noncommunicable diseases (NCD) now the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The evolution of risk facto...

Agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly used to describe, understand and predict human behaviour. The flexibility of agent-based models allows exploring mechanisms and feedback effects. However, this flexibility comes at a price, which is the problem of communicating and describing the model in a concise and transparent manner. There is no gener...

Demography has a strong track record in the numerical monitoring of national population flows and structures. However, progress in theories that explicate the processes and mechanisms underlying these flows and structures remains limited. One reason why the development of population theory has been lagging behind may be that a specific concept of p...

Agent-based computational simulation models can be complex and this can make it difficult to understand which processes are driving model behaviour. Sensitivity analysis by means of metamodels can greatly facilitate the understanding of the behaviour of complex simulation models. However, this method has so far largely been neglected in agent-based...

The satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), which is used for estimating gross primary production (GPP), often includes contributions from both mosses and vascular plants in boreal ecosystems. For the same NDVI, moss can generate only about one-third of the GPP that vascular plants can because of its much lower photosynthet...

Background: The two North Atlantic eel species, the European and the American eel, represent an ideal system in which to study parallel selection patterns due to their sister species status and the presence of ongoing gene flow. A panel of 80 coding-gene SNPs previously analyzed in American eel was used to genotype European eel individuals (glass e...

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the spring of 2010 resulted in an input of similar to 4.1 million barrels of oil to the Gulf of Mexico; >22% of this oil is unaccounted for, with unknown environmental consequences. Here we investigated the impact of oil deposition on microbial communities in surface sediments collected at 64 sites by target...
