Risk of minor congenital heart defect in infants conceived via assisted reproductive technology: cohort study from the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study
INTRODUCTION Infertility affects up to 20% of couples in high-income countries and assisted reproductive technology (ART) now accounts for the conception of up to 9.0% of births in Europe and 5.1% in the USA, with over 10 million individuals having been conceived via ART worldwide1, 2. ART has been associated with altered fetal growth as well as an increased risk of pregnancy complications, perinatal complications and congenital malformations, including major congenital heart defects (CHD)3-8.
Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg-Laying
1 Introduction Agricultural systems are highly susceptible to climate variability. Addressing the risks associated with climate change is becoming increasingly urgent (Howden et al. 2007).
Trump's tariffs also threaten US innovation
President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs have shocked bond and stock markets, clouded economic forecasts, and sent analysts scrambling to explain the impact on prices and supply chains. Yet the effects of tariffs on innovation have received far less attention. Because innovation drives productivity, and productivity drives economic growth, the effects on innovation are significant. Tariffs fracture the global economy, effectively shrinking markets.
"Nuclear Localization of GDF5 is Mediated by a Bipartite Nuclear Locali" by J. Daniel Jensen and Dr. Laura Bridgewater
Keywords nuclear localization, GDF5, bipartite nuclear localization signal, biological function Department Microbiology and Molecular Biology Abstract GDF5, also known as cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein-1 (CDMP1), is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) protein superfamily. TGFβ proteins play an integral role in cell proliferation and differentiation, matrix synthesis, and apoptosis.
America Is Fighting the Wrong Trade War
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have profoundly different visions for the future of the United States. They wildly diverge when it comes to social issues, such as abortion. They do not agree on whether to raise or cut taxes. And they could take U.S. foreign policy in opposing directions, especially when it comes to the country’s alliance with Europe. Yet there is one issue on which the Democratic and Republican nominees are in sync: protectionism.
Systematic review on the residual chemicals in wastewater treatment sludge: Specifically focusing on the occurrence state and anaerobic bioprocess
Section snippets Typical wastewater treatment chemicals in waste activated sludge The potential sources of WTCs in WAS are coagulation, algal removal, defoaming, and sludge conditioning processes (Fig. 1). Although WWTPs contain multi-stage treatment facilities, the position of coagulation in both drinking water and wastewater treatment is irreplaceable, which is due to its efficiency significantly affecting the performance of back-end treatment [26], [27].

Beehive Archive: Water Woes in Grafton
Utah has little regular rainfall, so irrigation canals and ditches are the key to channeling water to farms. When Mormon settlers built irrigation systems in the mid-19th Century, those systems worked fairly well in northern Utah. But irrigation was much more difficult in the south, where sandy soil soaked up water, stream levels were unpredictable, and flash floods washed away infrastructure. Many Washington County settlements along the Virgin River struggled with its volatile waters.
Repression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by SOX9 and Mastermind-like transcriptional coactivator 2
Abstract Wnt/β-catenin signaling requires inhibition of a multiprotein destruction complex that targets β-catenin for proteasomal degradation. SOX9 is a potent antagonist of the Wnt pathway and has been proposed to act through direct binding to β-catenin or the β-catenin destruction complex. Here, we demonstrate that SOX9 promotes turnover of β-catenin in mammalian cell culture, but this occurs independently of the destruction complex and the proteasome.

MEMORANDUM ON Improving US performance in services trade To: The Deputy United States Trade Representative and Ambassador to the World Trade Organization Background: The United States produces roughly 30 percent of the world’s services, the largest portion in the world.
Service imports, workforce composition, and firm performance
Andrea Ariu, Katariina Nilsson Hakkala , J. Bradford Jensen, Saara Tamminen 22 November 2019 Global trade in services increased six-fold between 1990-2017, representing a threat for workers but a growth opportunity for firms that source these services at lowest cost. This column examines the changes in employment composition and performance of Finnish service importers.
US Multinational Corporations Are Increasingly Using International Teams for Inventions
US patents granted to US multinational corporations (MNCs) reflect rapid growth in cross-border research and development (R&D) collaboration. The share of all US MNC patents, including those granted to foreign inventors, that have inventors from more than one country has increased from less than 2 percent in 1980 to more than 10 percent in 2014. For leading multinationals, this fraction is considerably higher.
The Rise of Global Innovation by US Multinationals Poses Risks and Opportunities
June 2019 Photo Credit: REUTERS/Danish Siddiqui For decades, US multinational corporations (MNCs) conducted nearly all their research and development (R&D) within the United States. Their focus on R&D at home helped establish the United States as the unrivaled leader of innovation and technology advances in the world economy.
US Multinational Corporations Have Shifted Foreign R&D towards Nontraditional Locations
June 24, 2019 The location of US multinational corporations' (MNCs) research and development (R&D) outside the United States has undergone a pronounced geographic shift. In 1989, US MNCs conducted 74 percent of all foreign R&D in just five countries—the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, and Canada. By 2014, that number dropped to 43 percent. Many of the new hubs for R&D, which include China, India, and Israel, have only recently graduated from developing country status.
The IT revolution and the globalisation of R&D
The IT revolution and the globalisation of R&D US firms have begun shifting R&D investment towards non-traditional destinations such as China, India, and Israel. The column argues that this is a response to a shortage in software and IT-related human capital within the US. When US multinationals are able to import talent or export R&D work, this reinforces US technological leadership.

The geography of consumption
Although the internet has greatly reduced the travel frictions that consumers face, for many goods and services, consumers’ willingness to travel is still a key factor influencing firms’ decisions. This column explores consumer mobility and purchases using credit card transaction data. Predictably, consumers travel further for more durable and less frequently consumed goods.
This is the impact of global firms on trade
Modern international trade increasingly takes place in complex cross-border global value chains (Johnson and Noguera 2012, Amador and di Mauro 2015). Even as global production has grown more complex, events of the last year have raised questions about the future growth of international trade. In Europe, the Brexit vote threatens to roll back decades of closer regional integration.
Importers are Exporters: Tariffs Would Hurt Our Most Competitive Firms
December 7, 2016 1:30 PM The incoming Trump administration is looking for ways to punish firms that outsource jobs overseas and appears to be considering increasing tariffs on imported goods. While it might sound like a good idea to punish firms that import and help firms that export, the fact is that most exporters, and certainly the biggest exporters, are importers too.

Fast diffusion kurtosis imaging of fibrotic mouse kidneys
|
Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is sensitive to tissue microstructure and may therefore be useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease in brain and body organs. Generally, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in the body is challenging because of the heterogeneous body composition, which can cause image artefacts as a result of chemical shifts and susceptibility differences.

3 distressed swimmers rescued off Sunset Cliffs
SAN DIEGO - Emergency crews came to the rescue Monday of three swimmers who got caught in a rip current in the surf off Sunset Cliffs. The near-drownings near the foot of Hill Street were reported shortly before 3 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Lifeguards who happened to be nearby, training for bluff rescues, pulled the men out of the water. Two had to be hoisted up the cliffs, while the third was able to walk up a trail on his own, SDFRD spokesman Lee Swanson said.
