We postulated that the reduced association of antibody features with progression among GC6 adults might be due to chronicMtbexposure increasing backgroundMtb-specific antibody levels among non-progressors. We measured the relationship between antibody features and the age at the time of enrolment in t...
Greater residue-soil contact through mixing also contributed to a 2 fold increase in the residue-derived C recovered in the mineral soil with the majority (56%) in the active C pool. Over a 12 month period, C sequestration was outweighed by GHG fluxes at high rates of input and when ...
To explore the operation of the sexual double standard, 111 men and 143 women evaluated either a male or female target, described in a fictitious interview as involved in either monogamous or multiple heterosexual relationships and depicted as engaged in either above average, average, or below aver...
•There was a decline in the stabilisation efficiency of C inputs at higher input levels.•There was an increase in residue-derived C recovery with mixing with majority (57%) in active C pool.•High rates of residue input and mixing resulted in GHG fluxes outweighing SOC gains over ...
Emotion is communicated via the integration of concurrently presented information from multiple information channels, such as voice, face, gesture and touch. This study investigated the neural and perceptual correlates of emotion perception as influenced
Background Changes in aboveground plant species diversity as well as variations of environmental conditions such as exposure of ecosystems to elevated concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide may lead to changes in metabolic activity, composition and diversity of belowground microbial communities, both ba...
Loadings from the 21% of the lake catchment (to the north) not drained by the inflow (“catchment north drainage” and “catchment north groundwater”) were estimated using the same methods as Carvalho and others (1995), with estimation of cormorant bird roost nutrient inputs kept the same ...
There was not more Si accumulation in plants of BPF, that is, bamboo expansion does not increase the Si pool of plants, but there is a shift in the plant Si pool from above to belowground with bamboo expansion. Moreover, bamboo expansion accelerates the biogeochemical Si cycle to some ...
Tillage practice and residue management play important roles in N pool in soils. This study determined the impacts of tillage practice and residue management on crop yield. It also investigated the distribution, fractionation, and stratification of N at soil at depths ranging from 0 to 60 cm ...
In each trial, a randomly oriented target bar (2° × 0.3° of visual angle) of a randomly chosen colour (from the following pool: blue, green, yellow, red, magenta) appeared on a mid-grey background, and stayed on-screen until the end of the trial. Following a 500 ms delay, a...
