Sex and the preimplantation embryo: implications of sexual dimorphism in the preimplantation period for maternal programming of embryonic development The developmental program of the embryo displays a plasticity that can result in long-acting effects that extend into postnatal life. In mammals, adult phe...
Sheffield, UK) this part of the study was a pilot. Average age was 66.71 ± 5.85 years in the postmenopausal (A), 25.43 ± 1.62 years in the premenopausal (C) control group while 54.42 ± 12.29 years in the transplantated ...
The tradable factor risk premia are given by: λ = C o v [ R t , F t ] V a r [ R t ] − 1 E [ R t ] . Details on the motivations and properties of these notions of factor risk premia are found in the aforementioned references. Factor SDF coefficients If the law of one...
The first representation of this vertex data is shown inFigure 4. This is a simple structure named Vertex that includes a 3D coordinate point and an RGB color. An array of these structures defines the three triangles displayed by the program. (This array is hardcoded in the required Ini...
(the C float type). Internally, XAudio2 uses 32-bit floating-point samples, so fewer internal conversions are required if 32-bit floating-point samples are passed to XAudio2 for playing the file. I decided to go that route in this program. Accordingly, the method in...
But considering the simplicity of the code, it works surprisingly well and is very responsive. If you compile the program for the ARM processor, you can deploy it on the ARM-based Microsoft Surface and walk around cradling the untethered tablet in one arm while playing on it with the other...
Because the graphics displayed by this program are fairly static, I disabled the rendering loop in DirectXPage by not attaching a handler for the CompositionTarget::Rendering event. Instead, PlainTextAliceMain determines when the graphics should be redrawn, which is only when the tex...
S.-C.Li,F.Schmiedek, inInternational Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2001 3.1Two-factor Theory Although subtests of the intelligence scales are often designed to measure specific domains of cognitive performance (like numerical skill and verbal fluency), performances across different...
Evolutionary transitions between hermaphroditic and dioecious reproductive states are found in many groups of animals. To understand such transitions, it is important to characterize diverse modes of sex determination utilized by metazoans. Currently, li
The 8-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D 8) has been widely used to measure depressive symptoms in many large-scale surveys. Due to its brevity, it can lower costs, relieve respondent burdens, and ensure data quality. However, its factor structure and measurement inva...
