The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic placed many locations under ‘stay at home” orders and adults simultaneously underwent a form of social isolation that is unprecedented in the modern world. Perceived social isolation can have a significant effect on health and well-being. Further, one can live with othe...
If the infected persons are spatially isolated from the susceptible persons, there will be no infections even if the number of infected persons is relatively large. (In the standard SIR model, the contact rate enters ceff as a factor23.) Consequently, the integral on the right-hand side of...
These fulacht fiadh sites are often located near bogs or wetlands, relatively isolated and not suitable for permanent settlement, but they seem to have their own advantages, such as the trough being able to naturally hold water. There are variou...

Second, as this is the first study accounting for e-commerce firms’ internationalization rhythm, we tested its isolated effect on firm growth. The results remain stable, as internationalization rhythm positively affects firm growth on its own (b = 0.052, p < 0.05). Third, due to th...
"We might see some disruptions and stoppages in manufacturing activity, but we expect them to be scattershot or isolated," Ehrlich said. "We don't expect systematic shutdowns." The service sector will be hit most. "It's in the service sector where we really think that the biggest drop-...
The mean heart rates per minute were determined for each group before being compared. Cardiac Contractility in Isolated Frog Heart Experiments under H2O2-Induced Oxidative Stress The initial steps were similar to those of frog heart isolation and preconditioning, but in each set of the cardiac ...
[45] isolated Lachnoanaerobaculum from the human small intestine and found that butyrate was one of the main metabolites of Lachnoanaerobaculum. Butyrate can provide nutrients for the tissue and protect the integrity of the intestinal mucosa [46], which contribute to the digestion and absorption ...
The pattern of lever pressing was such that enriched mice had a stronger preference for the active lever relative to isolated mice. (b) The Strain × Lever interaction was driven by the production of a significantly greater number of active but not inactive lever presses by DBA/2J mice ...
We studied the consonance of isolated chords, but in many musical styles consonance is treated as a dynamic phenomenon; for example a dissonant note may be prepared by a previous chord and resolved by subsequent melodic movement. These temporal aspects of consonance are very interesting in their ...
