retention of water coincided with gain of weight, and the reverse had a corresponding analogy. the largest water excretion occurred through the kidneys and bowel, the skin coming next, and the lungs last as a channel for loss of water. under conditions of very vigorous exertion the skin may ...
The scheme depicts sampling time points for different experiments during the hydration/desiccation cycle under controlled day and night conditions in a climate chamber. The sampling time points were defined based on preliminary experiments. The biocrusts were hydrated to 75% of their water holding capac...
of planarian genomes remains unknown, as the other available planarian genome assemblies are highly fragmented29,30,31. Parallel functional genomics efforts using ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq have initiated the annotation and analysis of genomic features ofS. mediterraneaand have provided first insights into t...
pisum may be the result of a shift in gene duplication rate, altered selective regimes acting on duplicate retention (i.e. genome streamlining) or a combination of the two. To test this, we conducted a synonymous (d S ) and non-synonymous (d N ) substitution rate analysis and found ...
Systems theory and complex science, especially knowledge of social–ecological interdependencies, are urgently needed in planning and decision-making on sustainable urban development due to the intensification of the contradiction between human developme
(Driscoll et al.2013), but understanding the risks associated with Hg exposure is complicated by this element’s varied environmental fate and the overarching influences of environmental, biological, and socioeconomic drivers. In its various forms, Hg causes immunotoxicity (Hawley et al.2009; Lewis...
S100A8/S100A9 is a proinflammatory mediator released by myeloid cells during many acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the precise mechanism of its release from the cytosolic compartment of neutrophils is unclear. Here, we show that E-selec
the damage is retained by the microstructure in the form of defects with associated free energy that may now drive subsequent transformations—either through recrystallization or transformation to a new phase. There are two sources driving free energy retention. First, the deeper the undercooling, the...
Furthermore, the technique continues to gain popularity through various modifications by developing appropriate methodological kits for either QuEChERS extraction or dispersive-SPE clean-up. However, these methods consist of several drawbacks, such as large solvent volume, long extraction time by vigorous ...
After closing the backwash water inflow, the fluidized grains inevitably fall to the bottom of the chamber and rub against each other [17–19]. This causes some of the removable sediment to be stripped off into the water filling the filter bed, as well as partially into the wash water ...
