Characteristics of an Advanced Carbon Sorbent for CO2 Capture
The adsorption and desorption characteristics on an advanced carbon sorbent for gases present in the flue gas stream, including CO2, N2, O2, Ar, H2O vapor, and impurities NO and SO2 are…

Activation of Heme Biosynthesis by a Small Molecule That Is Toxic to Fermenting Staphylococcus Aureus
Here, we describe the identification of a small molecule activator of HssRS that induces endogenous heme biosynthesis by perturbing central metabolism.

Genetic Analysis of a Population Heavy Drinking Phenotype Identifies Risk Variants in Whites
This proof-of-concept analysis examined whether population data of lifetime heaviest alcohol consumption may be used to identify genetic loci that modulate risk.

Midbrain-Driven Emotion and Reward Processing in Alcoholism
Enhanced midbrain activation to alcohol-related words suggests neuroadaptation of dopaminergic midbrain systems. We speculate that such tuning is normally associated with behavioral conditioning to optimize responses but here contributed to…

The Ability of Plasma Cotinine to Predict Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure Is Altered by Differences in CYP2A6: The Influence of Genetics, Race, and Sex
Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, is a biomarker of tobacco, nicotine, and carcinogen exposure. However, a given cotinine level may not represent the same tobacco exposure; for example, African-Americans have higher…
