Neimoyer, Susan | After the rhapsody: George Gershwin in the Spring of 1924 | The year 1924 was a banner period in the early career of the young George Gershwin. The astonishingly successful premiere of the Rhapsody in Blue with Paul Whiteman's orchestra in 12 February 1924, in some ways made it the year of the Rhapsody. Thanks to the business acumen that prompted Whiteman to... | | 2014-01-01 |

Clayton, Dale H. | An experimental test of the effects of behavioral and immunological defenses against vectors: do they interact to protect birds from blood parasites? | Background: Blood-feeding arthropods can harm their hosts in many ways, such as through direct tissue damage and anemia, but also by distracting hosts from foraging or watching for predators. Blood-borne pathogens transmitted by arthropods can further harm the host. Thus, effective behavioral and im... | | 2014-01-01 |

Planelles, Vicente | An HIV-encoded antisense long non-coding RNA epigenetically regulates viral transcription | The abundance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their wide range of functional roles in human cells are fast becoming realized. Importantly, lncRNAs have been identified as epigenetic modulators and consequently play a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression. A human immunodeficiency v... | | 2014-01-01 |

Smith, Ken R. | The association between adult mortality risk and family history of longevity: the moderating effects of socioeconomic status | Studies consistently show that increasing levels of socioeconomic status (SES) and having a familial history of longevity reduce the risk of mortality. But do these two variables interact, such that individuals with lower levels of SES, for example, may experience an attenuated longevity penalty by ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Gondolo, Paolo | Axion cold dark matter in view of BICEP2 results | The properties of axions that constitute 100% of cold dark matter (CDM) depend on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r at the end of inflation. If r ¼ 0.20 þ0.07 −0.05 as reported by the BICEP2 Collaboration, then "half" of the CDM axion parameter space is ruled out. Namely, in the context of single-fie... | | 2014-01-01 |
