While a decrease in protein has been observed across multiple plant species and tissue types10–12, some plants may maintain suf- ficient nitrogen (N) levels and avoid becoming N-limited (i.e., N-fixing legumes), ultimately leading to no or little reductions in protein c ontent13...
(4) investigate how well microblogging-based instruction enhances the students’ specialised-language performance. On the basis of the four phases of the DBR framework, a study was conducted with students studying a medical ESP course to identify the problems in the teaching practices used in ESP ...
Considering coherent activity, i.e., synchronized oscillations between spatially distributed maps, as the representation of a percept, we followed Makeig et al. [6, 7] who discuss evoked activity in terms of oscillatory perturbations, i.e., alteration of synchrony in ongoing activity. The comparis...
Duox enzymes also have been ascribed a central role in the control of gut microbial symbionts in several insect species38,39. In ticks, the ovary is the residence of intracellular bacteria symbionts that are essential to tick development40,41,42. However, Guizzo et al.43recently reported a qu...
A real-world driving emission (RDE) test is then conducted with a HEV in Ningbo city of China to evaluate the performance of VSP_veh and VSP_eng in emission estimation. The results show a strong correlation between emission and VSP_eng (R2 = 0.9783), while a much weaker correlation was ...
However, we do not find a significant effect from benevolence. The results also show that the investment-specific human capital of lead investors moderates the effect of integrity on their funding performance. Our study contributes to the crowdfunding literature by providing insights into the ...
The therapeutic endpoint should be achievement of adequate oxygenation--PaO2 > 60 mmHg (90% hemoglobin 02 saturation, assuming a normal saturation curve)--on a n F I G 2 of 0.5 or less without a "significant" reduction in cardiac output. The latter is particularly difficult to define ...
latent inhibition is the phenomenon whereby humans and other animals take longer to acquire a stimulus-reward association when the stimulus has previously been established as irrelevant by repeatedly presenting it alone (i.e., pre-exposure), which is thought to result in the development of a stimu...
This suggested that components/conditions in vivo differentially affected their prophylactic activity, e.g., by inhibiting Sb-specific or enhancing Cb-specific MAbs. The latter appeared more likely in view of the finding that performance of the VN assay in vitro in the presence of 1.6% non-...
Many CD4+T cells isolated from fresh whole blood will divide for one or two divisions, but additional cycles of proliferation are required for the performance of clinically useful purposes. For example, the proportion of CD4+T cells that divide relatively robustly (e.g., more than five times)...
