This article focuses on defining the intersectoral embedded carbon flow network as a matrix to mimic the complex economic-energy-environment symbiotic system in China. We propose a set of synthetical methodologies, which combines life cycle assessment (LCA) and social network analysis (SNA) in the ...
Population Influences: Population size is controlled or influenced by a number of factors. These come in the form of abiotic (nonliving) factors (weather, climate, erosion, etc.) and biotic (living) factors (soil fertility, food supply, biodiversity, predation, parasitism, etc.). Some of these...

This, however, requires nuclear localization of the protein, which also depends on the trimer composition (18, 19, 20) and can be achieved by posttranslational modifications (21, 22). In the heart, AMPK plays an important role in the adaption of cellular energy balance by modulating glucose ...
technical properties of a good or service have one of the following effects: • Making it hard to collect payment from all the potential beneficiaries—for instance, the large number of people who profit, albeit indirectly, from national defense or advances in basic science ("public goods")....
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, generates multiple protein-coding, subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs) from a longer genomic RNA, all bearing identical termini with poorly understood roles in regulating
(Sage Science) was used to select the wanted fragment size range. Quality and concentrations of the final libraries were measured by PicoGreen on an infinite F200 instrument (Tecan). Libraries were then sequenced on a NextSeq 500 platform (Illumina) using high-output v2 kits with 75 cycles ...
As a first step toward understanding the entire framework of tomato polyphenolic metabolism, we surveyed tomato polyphenols characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance studies or confirmed by co-elution with standard compounds in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) (Figure 1A). To assess ti...
Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets any day these days on the issue of nuclear energy. "Give it back," say some of the voices...
