A wide range of outcome measures have been described in the literature as well as clinical practice to quantify the disabilities of the UE. These measures involve tests and surveys on dexterity, strength, pain, disability, amount of activity, etc. When the neurological condition/injury is unilater...
The rhizosheath-root system is an adaptive trait of sandy-desert speargrasses in response to unfavourable moisture and nutritional conditions. Under the deserts’ polyextreme conditions, plants interact with edaphic microorganisms that positively affect
Lactic acid bacteria are among the powerhouses of the food industry, colonize the surfaces of plants and animals, and contribute to our health and well-being. The genomic characterization of LAB has rocketed and presently over 100 complete or nearly comp
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in many fields of application and consumer products due to their antibacterial properties. The aim of this study was to prepare a hazard assessment for one specific AgNP in soil, incorporated via sewage sludge (the sewage sludge pathway). The effects ...
All original mouse hybridomas were generated by Cell Engineering Corporation (Osaka, Japan). Based on tau sequence, Peptide 1 (273GKVQIINKKLDLSNVQSKC291; numbering according to 2N4R (441 amino-acids)) and Peptide 2 (296NIKHVPGGGSVQIVYKPVD314) (Fig.1) were selected, synthesised (with an...
water- soluble cholesterol (Sigma) was then added into the culture media to 40 µg/mL for 1 h. Cells with mock cholesterol treatment were used as control. In the mock cholesterol uptake treatment, the same volume of PBS rather than cholesterol-water soluble was added after the drug pretrea...
This new form of mutation achieves a smaller variance of importance weight than the APF and IAPF. In addition, the ant movements contain a statistical auto-tuning feature which possesses the ability to combat outlier and thick posterior tail distribution. These two properties result in the ...
