There is growing demand among stakeholders across public and private institutions for spatially-explicit information regarding vulnerability to climate change at the local scale. However…

Hoarders Only Discount Consumables and Are More Patient for Money.

Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience

Vickers BD, Preston SD, Gonzalez R, Angott AM.
PMID: 26973479
Front Behav Neurosci. 2016 Mar 04;10:30. doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2016.00030. eCollection 2016.

Individuals with hoarding disorder (HD) excessively acquire and retain goods while also exhibiting characteristics of impulsivity and addiction. However, HD individuals do not always perform impulsively in experiments, they do not appear interested in money, and they exhibit many...

Climate Influences the Content and Chemical Composition of Foliar Tannins in Green and Senesced Tissues of .

Frontiers in plant science

Top SM, Preston CM, Dukes JS, Tharayil N.
PMID: 28559896
Front Plant Sci. 2017 May 16;8:423. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2017.00423. eCollection 2017.

Environmental stresses not only influence production of plant metabolites but could also modify their resorption during leaf senescence. The production-resorption dynamics of polyphenolic tannins, a class of defense compound whose ecological role extends beyond tissue senescence, could amplify the...

Nitisinone Arrests but Does Not Reverse Ochronosis in Alkaptonuric Mice.

JIMD reports

Keenan CM, Preston AJ, Sutherland H, Wilson PJ, Psarelli EE, Cox TF, Ranganath LR, Jarvis JC, Gallagher JA.
PMID: 25940034
JIMD Rep. 2015;24:45-50. doi: 10.1007/8904_2015_437. Epub 2015 May 05.

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from a deficiency of homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase (HGD), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Loss of HGD function prevents metabolism of homogentisic acid (HGA), leading to...

Anatomy of a Municipal Triumph: New York City's Upsurge in Life Expectancy.

Population and development review

Preston SH, Elo IT.
PMID: 25843989
Popul Dev Rev. 2014 Mar;40(1):1-29. doi: 10.1111/j.1728-4457.2014.00648.x.

Over the period 1990-2010, the increase in life expectancy for males in New York City was 6.0 years greater than for males in the United States. The female relative gain was 3.9 years. Male relative gains were larger because...

Dynamic helical chirality of an intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded bisoxazoline.

The Journal of organic chemistry

Preston AJ, Fraenkel G, Chow A, Gallucci JC, Parquette JR.
PMID: 12515456
J Org Chem. 2003 Jan 10;68(1):22-6. doi: 10.1021/jo026496f.

The synthesis and conformational properties of 2,6-bis-[2-((4S)-4-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)phenyl]carbam oylpyridines, 2, have been described. Bisoxazoline 2a was prepared in five steps from 2-nitrobenzoyl chloride in an overall yield of 71%. In contrast to related structures such as 1, bisoxazoline 2a exhibits...

Catechin and hydroxybenzhydrols as models for the environmental photochemistry of tannins and lignins.

Photochemical & photobiological sciences : Official journal of the European Photochemistry Association and the European Society for Photobiology

Forest K, Wan P, Preston CM.
PMID: 15122364
Photochem Photobiol Sci. 2004 May;3(5):463-72. doi: 10.1039/b402241f. Epub 2004 Apr 02.

The photochemistry of several model plant-derived compounds has been studied in aqueous solution. In particular, the reactions of catechin as a model tannin and methoxy-substituted hydroxybenzhydrols as model lignin functionalities were investigated. Tannins and lignins constitute a significant portion...
