Estradiol and progesterone affect enzymes but not glucose consumption in a mink uterine cell line (GMMe).

Cells lining the uterus are responsible for storage and secretion of carbohydrates to support early embryonic development. Histotrophic secretions contain glycogen and glycolytic products such as lactate and pyruvate. Insufficient carbohydrate storage as glycogen has been correlated with infertility in women.

Spectroscopic Analysis for Mapping Wildland Fire Effects from Remotely Sensed Imagery.

1.5 to 4 million hectares of land burns in wildfire across the United States each year, contributing to post-fire erosion, ecosystem degradation and loss of wildlife habitat. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and sensor miniaturization offer a new paradigm, providing an affordable, safe, and responsive on-demand tool for monitoring fire effects at a much finer spatial resolution than is possible with current technology.
