CNN: 4 Ways Your Work Schedule Could Help You Live Longer The number of hours you log at work each week can have a significant impact on your health and your longevity — especially if you overwork. Based on full- and part-time workers’ hours, people in the United States work an average eight hours every week day, adding up to 40 hours per week, according to 2017 data from the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

All method criteria were met. This calibration was used to quantitate the samples, and for tentatively identified compounds (TICs) or peaks that were not identified by the calibration technique, a library search was conducted.

To test whether PEA-driven integrin/BMP-2 presentation drives MSCs to osteoblast differentiation through a synergistic mechanism, BMP-2 (25 ng/ml) was adsorbed onto FN-coated PEA surfaces. The ability of the PEA-controlled FN presentation to drive paired integrin and BMP receptor localization required to drive synergistic signaling was examined using coimmunoprecipitation of integrin β1, which forms part of the FN receptor (33), and the BMP-2 receptor, BMPRIa. Colocalization was seen using an anti-BMPRIa antibody in denaturing conditions as a band at 60 kD (Fig. 2A) and quantified using the condition without BMP-2 as a reference. These receptor coassemblies were reduced either on FN nanonetworks assembled on PEA without any BMP-2 or if the GF-binding site of FN (FNIII12–14) had been previously blocked with a monoclonal antibody (P5F3) to prevent BMP-2 binding (Fig. 2A, left). This colocalization of integrin and GF receptors could also be seen at an individual cell level using immunofluorescence (Fig. 2A, right). Figure S3 shows that colocalization is specific to integrin β1 and does not happen with integrin β5, another potential FN receptor (23).

According to a 2014 World Health Organization report, it is estimated that 30% of adults, 68% of adolescents and 18% of children below the age of 10 consume energy drinks2.

OUTLOOK ’17: US natural gas prices could soar The US natural gas market entered this year’s winter demand season with storage near record high levels. But with exports to Mexico expected to increase, fewer coal plants supplying the power grid and production predicted to fall for the first time since 2005, there are concerns that a colder-than-expected winter could lead to spikes in domestic gas prices.

Dallas Morning News: Can The Baylor-Memorial Hospital Merger Lower The Costs Of Health Care For Texans? What do you get from putting together the top hospital systems in Dallas and Houston? Maybe a company that can compete with Amazon and Warren Buffett. Or even better, a company that can collaborate with them. This week, Baylor Scott & White Health in Dallas and Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston agreed to a merger that would combine two faith-based, not-for-profit organizations that control about a quarter of the hospital business in their respective hometowns.

A report from Grand View Research Inc. of San Francisco estimated the 2016 global market for all segments of the glucaric acid niche at $550.4 million. The report said end uses included liquid detergents and soaps, accounting for 48 percent of the total; food ingredients, 23 percent; corrosion inhibitors, 16 percent; and de-icing applications, 13 percent. The toxicity bans on phosphates in detergents were listed as a major driver.

OUTLOOK ’17: US benzene strong, but uncertainty remains While benzene values had been strengthening in late 2016, the market is uncertain that the strength will hold moving into 2017. A rally for upstream crude oil values lifted benzene prices in early to mid-November. On the supply side, there was tightness in the benzene market due to issues at several US Gulf refineries.
