Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are nonnative, herbivorous freshwater fish that represent an ecological threat in North American waters. However, data are limited on reproductive biology specific to wild populations in midwestern North America, despite recent concern for grass carp establishment within the Great Lakes. Basic information on reproductive traits could be useful to determine reproductive potential, inform future population modelling and provide information to aid control efforts.

The Soutenir l'Exploitation Familiale pour Lancer l'Élevage des Volailles et Valoriser l'Économie Rurale (SELEVER) project, an integrated agriculture-nutrition intervention, promoted egg consumption and sales to investigate the impact of poultry production on child nutrition.

This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on how, and to what extent, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) impacts functional health outcomes in cancer survivors.
Methods: We searched 7 electronic databases, 91 published review articles, and 4 professional websites for eligible randomized and non-randomized controlled trials focusing on cancer survivors.
Background: We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to identify which human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) self-testing (HIVST) distribution strategies are most effective.
Methods: We abstracted data from randomized controlled trials and observational studies published between 4 June 2006 and 4 June 2019.
Results: We included 33 studies, yielding 6 HIVST distribution strategies.
We sought to examine risk and protective factors for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among African American women living with HIV. This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a randomized trial of an HIV stigma reduction intervention. We examined data from two-hundred and thirty-nine African American women living with HIV.

- Marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland discharge most of the ice into the ocean, but their frontal regions' geometry is not well understood.
- New observations show that ice cliffs are grounded deeper than previously thought and are rough and undercut by ocean waters, not vertical or smooth.
- The undercutting allows warm Atlantic waters to melt ice rapidly, which likely increases iceberg calving and affects the overall stability and mass balance of the glaciers.
Article Synopsis
- The study presents a method to measure the photoluminescence quantum yield of solutions using an integrating sphere attached to a conventional fluorimeter.
- This technique eliminates the necessity for using luminescence standards in measurements.
- Various compounds were tested, and the findings were compared with existing literature values and data from traditional comparative methods.
