Evaluating the Barbados SSB tax: a mixed-method natural experimental study
Consuming sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been associated with increased rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes, making SSBs an increasingly popular target for policy interventions such as taxation. SSB taxes are intended to reduce SSB consumption, and several national evaluations have suggested …

A Comparison of Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) Responses to Caregiver Use of Positive Reinforcement Training (PRT) and Species-Specific Behaviors (SSB)
The present study compared the effects of positive reinforcement training (PRT) and unstructured interactions (UI) on chimpanzee (<em>Pan troglodytes</em>) behavior. In the PRT condition, a caregiver interacted with a chimpanzee to condition behaviors for 10 min. In the UI condition, a caregiver …

Binding configurations of single-stranded DNA binding protein and their influence on DNA recombinase
… Cells have evolved single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) proteins to wrap and protect this ssDNA. In E. coli, SSB is known to wrap ssDNA in a variety of binding configurations, or modes. Three different binding modes, (SSB)65, (SSB)56, and (SSB)35, which wraps 65, 56, and 35 nucleotides (nt) …

Single molecule force spectroscopy of single stranded DNA binding protein and Rep helicase
Single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) proteins are essential accessory proteins that protect single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) during genome maintenance. Escherichia coli SSB is a prototypical homo-tetrameric SSB protein that can wrap up to 65 nucleotides of ssDNA in one of its binding modes. Here we present …

Trends and Outcomes of a School-Based Campaign to Reduce Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption Among Racially and Ethnically Diverse Students in Middle School
Reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has been identified as a chronic disease prevention strategy in children and adolescents (Muth et al., 2019; USDA & HSS, 2015) and promoting healthier alternative beverage options has become an important focus for public health policy and …
