That is, the fewer assumptions an explanation of a phenomenon depends on, the better it is.For example, some claim that God caused himself to exist and also caused the universe to exist - he was the "first cause" - whereas Occam's Razor suggests that if one accepts the possibility of ...
The relationship between history and sociology as academic disciplines has been uneasy Whereas for historians, the goal has usually been the understanding and explanation of specific historical situations, sociologists have more often viewed the findings about particular historical societies as a laboratory ...
The questionnaire started with a description of the study and an explanation of surrogacy (i.e. a woman carrying a child for the intended parents with the intention to give it to the parents after giving birth). IVF was described as a procedure where oocytes were retrieved from a womb, fer...
However, an alternative, and perhaps related, explanation was recently proposed for the role of vitamin D in T2DM prevention based on its potent immunomodulatory functions 81. 1,25(OH)D modulates the production of the immunostimulatory IL-12 and the immunosuppressive IL-10 82 and VDRs are ...
begins earlier during development. For example,MECP2is known as critical player for synapse development and function of GABA-releasing neurons [69,70]; however, its involvement spans early stages of cortical cell proliferation (likely enhanced proliferation in ASD) [71,72,73], neurogenesis and neu...
[29]. These agents include, for example, a number of protein kinase inhibitors, including nilotinib [36], idelalisib [37], and certinib [38], which significantly affect midazolam metabolism and lead to significantly increased AUC. Similarly, the metabolism of midazolam can be altered during ...
results from subsequent trapping of tagmented pA-Tn5-bound DNA within the cell. In support of this interpretation, we note thatE. colicarry-over DNA suitable for calibration is also released by pA-MNase in CUT&RUN reactions during digestion32. A likely explanation for the trapping of these ...
and substrate specificity. A possible explanation for the absence of a significant association between theABCB1andABCG2SNPs in our study, as reported in other studies, could be the heterogeneity of solid and hematological neoplasms, the diversity of anti-neoplastic drugs administered as part of the...
state no matter how powerful depends on the international system[49]and at that time it was dominated by the Europeans who sharedAfricaamongst themselves.The explanation for the surrender of some of the leaders of the Caliphate to the British and their acceptance of colonial over rule could be ...
A plausi- ble explanation for this fact could be that adsorption of halide ions to the bare metal surface exposed to an acid solution can inhibit active dissolution of the metal, under certain conditions. Cl−, Br−, and I− additions to a H2SO4 solution result in lower rates of ...
