Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can lead to a set of lifelong cognitive, behavioural, and physical disabilities known as foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). FASD is a significant burden on healthcare, justice and education systems, which is set to worsen with rising alcohol consumption rates....
The practice indicates that it is an effective channel of vitalizing rural economic by using scie tech and education to give full play to colleges′ leading role so as to form into a popularizing network of agricultual scie tech which takes rural educational system as backbone....
In total, 24.3% of dogs were positive for B. canis, evenly distributed across the two populations. Conclusions The results of this study show contrasting pathogen prevalence in both ticks and dogs at the NPP and CC, which may reflect the differential exposures at the two locations. This work...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for energy metabolism, genetic materials, and cell structures of all biota [1]. Unlike nitrogen (N), which has the volatile form of N (e.g., N2, N2O), the atmosphere does not supply soluble P [2]. Therefore, P is the second most limiting nut...
The biosynthesis of monoterpene derived from NPP has demonstrated an increase in monoterpene production in S. cerevisiae and Y. lipolytica [12, 19]. Furthermore, enzyme fusion has been investigated as a strategy to facilitate the conversion of precursors into terpenes [1, 6]. Thus, we expressed...
The Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire Short- Form (CSFQ-14; measured at baseline, week 6, and end point) is a validated 14-item instrument rated on a 5-point scale, with higher scores indicating higher levels of sexual functioning (1 (never) to 5 (every day) for 12 items; 1...
Therefore, we refute all of these points, as mentioned in our previous papers [2, 13] and summarized in point form below: (1) Unlike Chernobyl, exposure doses in Fukushima were not measured immediately after the accident, and we can infer that there was sufficient exposure to cause excess ...
To investigate the activity of the recombinant RM lipase, p-NPP was used as the substrate. In a standard assay, the reaction mixture contained 40 µL of p-NPP (12.5 mM), 940 µL of Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) and 20 µL of diluted enzyme solution. The mixture was incuba...
Global photosynthetic net primary production (NPP) amounts to an estimated 104.9 gigatons of carbon per year [1]. Almost half of this is allotted to algae, in particular, to the small unicellular planktonic algae (phytoplankton) that dominate the world’s oceans [2]. Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) ...
