Creating ‘liveable’ cities has become a priority for various sectors, including those tasked with improving population health and reducing inequities. Two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, with the most rapid urbanisation i
The field of microbiome research has evolved rapidly over the past few decades and has become a topic of great scientific and public interest. As a result of this rapid growth in interest covering different fields, we are lacking a clear commonly agreed definition of the term “microbiome.” M...
A group of neuropeptides may have the same pre-cleavage protein precursor in common, meaning that one gene may code for several peptides with different functions. Although genome information from different species has facilitated prediction of putative precursor cleavage sites and peptide/precursor amino...
we reject the null hypothesis, meaning we assume that the two rows were not sampled from the same distribution. The quantity - log10(p-value(a|M))can be considered as a quantitative measure of strand bias and is called thestrand bias score...
Therefore, we have written this essay with three aims in mind. The first aim, addressed in 'Discussion, Part I', is to explain the basic concepts of probability theory to physicians, and in particular to provide a detailed account of the 'origin', mechanics, and meaning of Bayes' rule. ...
L-tyrosine is a common precursor for a wide range of valuable secondary metabolites, including benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) and many polyketides. An industrially tractable yeast strain optimized for production of L-tyrosine could serve as a platfo
The section itself is destructive of nature and incompatible with a built environment in use or under construction. Hence, students throughout their education meet the section in the form of diagrammatic representations, that is, as forms of meaning emptied from scale, spatiality and materiality. ...
From the 432 independent lines, plants from 328 lines were grown to maturity and 321 of these produced seed meaning that 98% of the lines were fertile. The same 328 lines were assayed for luciferase expression and 95.5% of these hygromycin resistant lines also expressed the luciferase gene ...
It should be underlined that, under anaerobic conditions, both Pox and Acs activities were high (Table 4), meaning that i) Pta-Ack is not the sole acetate-producing pathway in E. coli and ii) the co-expression of Pox and Acs pathways could lead to an acetate-consuming cycle with lower...
Just as agricultural productivism grows from epistemologies of land relations and meaning worlds that appropriated land as resource and produced food as a commodity, data productivism approaches data as a harvestable resource from which different kinds of value can be created and accumulated. Yet ...
