They emit pollutants and pollutant precursors in the form of biogenic volatile organic compounds and pollen and may also regulate the soundscape of the city. However, the plethora of processes operating at different scales make it very difficult to predict the net effect of street trees on air ...
Here, bribery also occurs when recruiting doctors and in decisions regarding posting and transfer to a facility or region of choice [37]. In addition, practices like paying-off management authorities for taking unlawful leave, stealing government revenues such as patient registration fees, taking the...
Oomycetes are a large group of economically and ecologically important species. Its most notorious member is Phytophthora infestans, the cause of the devastating potato late blight disease. The life cycle of P. infestans involves hyphae which differentia
Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated and presented in the form of Forest plots we generated a league table, which ranks summary estimates in order of the impact of the intervention on the primary outcome measure [10]. In the league table, interventions were ranked from thos...
The TIC-P also assesses monthly sick-leave, reduced work capacity at work and in the domestic realm, and employment status (indirect non-medical costs). The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life Instrument (IBS-QOL) [46] was used to assess the impact on quality of life for patients ...
These enzymes form the branch of UTP de novo biosynthesis starting from l-glutamine. This entire branch may have occurred in the universal ancestor, based on the wide taxonomical distribution of the enzymes that compose it (Figure 4, red boxes). One of the most interesting steps of this ...
and precisely ligated by the cNHEJ factors Ligase IV/XRCC4/XLF to form a signal joint (SJ), the hairpin CEs have to first be opened by DNA-PKcs/Artemis and then joined through a process that can result in gain or loss of nucleotides and leads to the formation of a coding joint (CJ...
These layers, taken as a whole, form theImageJ software stack[30], the core set of components upon which ImageJ-based applications are built. Each domain is itself divided into many individual libraries, each of which targets a particular function. This separation of concerns provides a logical...
in form of branch length and the distribution of divergence times throughout the evolutionary history of a clade. despite the omission of extinct lineages, it has been shown that differential patterns of speciation and extinction can leave a discernible signature on phylogenetic trees of extant taxa...
In the context of battling the aftereffects of severe economic downturns like the Great Recession, however, this perspective may be inappropriate. Compared with hiring credits targeting the disadvantaged, more explicit counter-recessionary hiring credits could be more effective. And although the official ...
