The rate of population growth is the rate of natural increase combined with the effects of migration. Thus a high rate of natural increase can be offset by a large net out-migration, and a low rate of natural increase can be countered by a high level of net in-migration. Generally speaki...
Figure 1. Flow chart of the methodology and study structure. 2.2. Study Area The current study presents two independent investigations using personal interviews and the same questionnaire. The first was conducted in the Municipal Unit of Pefka, with a permanent population of 13,052 people and a...
Over the past few decades, neuroimaging has become a ubiquitous tool in basic research and clinical studies of the human brain. However, no reference standards currently exist to quantify individual differences in neuroimaging metrics over time, in contrast to growth charts for anthropometric traits su...
Specific data significance values are reported in the figure legends, and most data are presented as mean ± SEM (except that the box chart shows the maximum and minimum values). Assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance were checked using the Shapiro–Wilk and Levene tests, ...
(out of 196) bacterial species found exclusively in males. This indicates the unique composition of the male bladder microbiome and the necessity of including more male samples in our next collection. Second, the study population mostly consists of US participants. Notably, our previous observations...
Around 7 million years ago, the first great apes emerged in Africa. These apes, such as orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees, were highly intelligent and social creatures that lived in complex communities. Over time, one lineage of apes would give rise to the first members of the genusHomo,...
In this chart, the scores of all individuals used worldwide were plotted; however when all samples consisting of a large number of groups were plotted together at once, the interpretation of the scattering pattern was quite complex due to the substantial overlap; therefore, samples from only ...
Each pie chart represents the contribution of scRNA-seq cell types to the transcriptomic signature of each ST spot. Only cell types that contribute at least 10% to the spot signature are shown. Dashed boxes at the same level corresponding to the same histology section location. The junction ...
Study flow chart for the general population (above the dotted line) and the selected population (below the dotted line). E: embryo; t: transfer; culture failures: includes fertilization and embryo culture failures, and poor embryo quality. Statistical analysis: Difference between blastocyst and clea...
The following day plates were transferred from 42 °C to 30 °C for additional growth. Surviving colonies were then screened by PCR a final time to confirm deletion of the target locus as seen in Supplementary Fig 3. All primers used for the generation of knockout cassette and ...
