The rationale for using the logarithm ofKOWis that the logKOWis directly proportional to the change in the free energy ΔGat the transfer of a molecule between 1-octanol and the aqueous phase (Fig.1). The logKOWis an extrathermodynamic reference scale that expresses the differences in the no...
However, Malaise traps can vary in size, shape, and colour, and it is unknown how these differences affect biomass, species richness, and composition of trap catch, making it difficult to compare results between studies. We compared five Malaise trap types (three variations of the Townes and ...
Another suggestion is to differentiate the feedback types by using different designs instead of colour schemes to make it easier for colour-blind users to differentiate between the error graphs. Participants also indicated that seeing different types of feedback can be too distracting. By implementing...
3) carrying out CFD simulations validated by the laboratory-scale model to understand the interplay of upper-room far UV radiation and different ventilation schemes in a full-scale room; determining the response time of far UV radiation to disinfect different airborne microorganisms characterised by su...
In theory, this plurality of definitions of microbial taxa could open the way to multiple classification schemes (i.e., taxonomic pluralism) instead of a single universal hierarchy, often seen as the holy grail of traditional phylogenetics. What are evolutionary microbiologists to make of such ...
Beak trimming status, feather colour and flock size were not associated with mortality in univariate analyses (i.e., not controlled for the year of data collection or the housing system). The effects of both year and housing were, in turn, highly significantly. Thus, we explored the effects...
When the internal side of the skin preserved in formalin is observed with the naked eye, the glands of type PAR stand out due to their brownish colour. The use of this simple methodology made possible the observation that, exclusively inRhinella schneideriandR. jimi, PAR glands, besides their...
Vav1 is physiologically active as a GDP/GTP nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) in the hematopoietic system. Overexpression of Vav1 in multiple tumor types is known to enhance oncogenicity, yet whether or not Vav1 is a bona fide oncogene is still a matter of debate. Although mutations in Vav1...
The validation protocols adopted by the Ocean Colour Radiometry (OCR) community follow mainly two approaches, or variants of these: the one proposed by Bailey and Werdell (2006) and the one proposed by Zibordi et al. (2009a). It is important to note that the choice of the validation proto...
numComps specifies the number of colour components in the current palette table. The predictor palette consists of palette entries from previous coding units that are used to predict the entries in the current palette. The variable PredictorPaletteSize[startComp] specifies the size of the predictor...
