In the continental Antarctica, precipitation occurs almost entirely in the form of snow and is often extremely limited. In some parts of the continent where low atmospheric humidity is typical, much of this snow undergoes sublimation and is lost from terrestrial ecosystems before wetting of the ...
Redundancy Analysis (RDA) was performed to determine which parameters among pH, salinity, alkalinity, conductivity, H2S/CO2 ratio, and concentrations of thiosulfate and sulfate significantly explain variation in microbial community composition. The analysis was performed in an R software environment (...
As one of the types of bladder cancer, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most common form of bladder cancer, comprising approximately 75% of cases [4]. NMIBC is characterized by frequent recurrences and a high risk of disease progression, as reported the 5-year recurrence ...
Virtual Reality (VR) has proven to be an effective tool for motor (re)learning. Furthermore, with the current commercialization of low-cost head-mounted displays (HMDs), immersive virtual reality (IVR) has become a viable rehabilitation tool. Nonetheless, it is still an open question how immer...

Epidemiological evidence shows that NAFLD, along with its more severe form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome can disrupt homeostasis, exacerbating liver cell injury by triggering ...
function builds the RDA stepwise to determine which variables lead to significant changes in variance and a lower AIC value for the model. The “ordiR2step” function builds the RDA stepwise based on which variables maximize the adjusted variation explained by each predictor variable considered (i...
The slope aspect is an important environmental factor, which can indirectly change the acceptable solar radiation of forests. However, the mechanism of how this aspect changes the underground ecosystem and thus affects the growth of aboveground trees is
LDL is capable of diffusing passively through endothelial cell junctions, and its accumulation is a primary event in atherosclerosis, though its uptake in native form is not rapid enough to generate foam cells [30]. Native LDL, however, is oxidized in the sub-endothelial region [31] or within...
The final section of the brief screening questionnaire will ask older adults registered with the practice whether they would be happy to give their consent for further contact. Those who are eligible and consent to further contact will form the sample that is sent information about the BEEP trial...
