Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are complex organic molecules that may incorporate up to one-third of the organic carbon in our galaxy and are involved in fundamental molecular mass growth processes in our galaxy.
The first study to characterize the frequency of several atmospheric disturbance types in Hawaiʻi and the magnitude of rainfall associated with them aims to help inform future water management decisions in the state.
The Hawaiian blue rice coral may reveal important clues as to how some corals might weather climate change according to a team of scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Smithsonian Institute.
Multiple United States coastal regions may see rapid increases in the number of high-tide flooding days in the mid-2030s, according to a study led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and published in Nature Climate Change.
In Hawaiʻi, there is a relatively high number of feral chickens, commonly seen on roads and in parking lots.
Black-tailed deer in Hawaiʻi? Where do squirrels thrive best? Unlike for birds, which have multiple large-scale monitoring programs, mammals have not had a standard way to monitor their populations on a national scale.
Women make up nearly two-fifths of the global workforce, but have suffered more than half of total job losses due to COVID-19, according to an expansive study on women by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers at Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health.
Neighborhood social cohesion, defined as having strong social bonds and the absence of conflict, is shown to promote various positive health outcomes.
After an international team of astronomers discovered the first signs of a new type of supernova, the researchers turned to the W.M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea to confirm their sighting.
Obese people run a higher-than-average risk of depression or anxiety, the result of a combination of factors: poor diet, lack of physical activity and an accumulation of fat cells in their body called visceral adipocytes.
Current and former MIT researchers find novel tools can improve the sustainability of road networks on a limited budget.
Scientists in Montreal and London have identified the key role played by transcription factor RORC2 in HIV infection:
Natural killer cells do not just kill cancer cells or cells infected with viruses, they also mediate a trade-off between wound healing and bacterial defense in skin wounds. If the healing process is accelerated, the immune defense is weakened, researchers at the University of Zurich have now shown. This has relevance in treating skin injuries and in tackling antibiotic-resistant germs.
MIT engineers devised a way to count elusive circulating tumor cells in mice, allowing them to study the dynamics of metastasis.
Heart-Focused Anxiety a Significant Predictor of Depression
Managing the waste that cells produce is an essential function of the human body, as any defect in its elimination mechanisms can lead to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Permanent oxygenation occurred much later than previously thought
Scientists employ an underused resource — radiology reports that accompany medical images — to improve the interpretive abilities of machine learning algorithms.
Patients with COPD are treated with drugs to improve the breathing ability in combination with inhaled corticosteroids to reduce the risk of acute worsening of the lung conditions. But the balance between reduced exacerbations and increased adverse effects of the drugs depends on the dose and on patient characteristics. Researchers from the University of Zurich now show how to personalize treatments to optimally balance benefits and side effects.
A statistical model developed by Université de Montréal researchers uses a blood biomarker of SARS-CoV-2 to identify infected patients who are most at risk of dying of COVID-19.
