Body temperature is an example of a negative feedback loop. Imagine that body temperature was regulated as a positive feeSelect either "more" or "less" in the parentheses in the following statement: In a plant that is actively transpiring water, the water potential o...
Remarkably, OCT4-hKEpC were proliferative in adhesion culture and could be expanded to high passages (P15) in the presence of serum while maintaining their homogeneous small round morphology, indicative of long-term self-renewal (Figure 1B). This is in sharp contrast to mock-infected controls, ...
2. This might be achieved by reinventing the core, such as serving their existing customer base with an alternative product; launching new products in an adjacent market; and/or launching a new business aimed at different customers while drawing on existing knowledge from within the original one....
For the arterial and portal venous phase, scanning of the FLL was continuous, while late phase scanning of the FLL was intermittent to avoid the destruction of contrast agents. Both the C-CEUS and H-CEUS scanning lasted for at least 5 min after the injection of contrast agent. All imaging...
While discrimination based on signaller reliability has been found in some studies (Hare & Atkins, 2001), other studies have found that animals do not discriminate based on signaller reliability (Schibler & Manser, 2007). The cost of responding to unreliable individuals may be outweighed by the ...
Consistently, we have also found an inverse correlation between miR-221 and ER expression in the tumour tissues and for both miRNAs by western blot analysis, while miR-222 expression did not show an association with ER status in the tumours. Interestingly, a positive correlation of miR-221 ...
The third, while initially admitted to a surgical service, was trans- ferred to the medicine service. The remaining 91 patients received the WSC protocol. The mean age was 55 and the majority (53%) were men with a mean BMI of 25 (Table 1). Of the 91 patients who followed the protoco...
Some spheroids were positive to alizarin red staining (Figure 2C). Some spheroids were stained by alcian blue (Figure 2D). Some spheroids presented neuronal cell-like morphology (Figure 2E) while others formed blood vessel-like tubular structures (Figure 2F). Semi-quantitative analysis showed that...

The code uses awhilestatement for the inner loop because, depending on the value of the data string, the code block may not be executed (when the string does not contain a period). You should not use adostatement in situations where the iteration block may not need to be execute...
