Hill numbers are a unified family of diversity indices that compensate for the disproportionate impact of rare taxa by weighting them based on abundance, making them appropriate for analysis of large datasets p
Secondary inorganic aerosols play an important role in air pollution and climate change, and their formation modulates the atmospheric deposition of reactive nitrogen (including oxidized and reduced nitrogen), thus impacting the nitrogen cycle. Large-sca
Both the nature and the degree of toxic effect may be affected by the route of administration because of effects at the portals of entry or to effects on pharmacokinetic processes. In order to identify the effects of handling and other stress, as well as the effects of the solvents or ...
More positive DICas values indicate a greater degree of atmospheric CO2 invasion. At basin-scale, the preindustrial DICas of North Atlantic deep water (NADW) is ~50–80 µmol/kg higher than for Antarctic bottom water (AABW) and Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW). This difference ...
Linear Flory–Huggins isotherm can estimate the degree of surface coverage (θ) of the Cr(VI) on the CA and CA/ UF (Table 1) [67]. The degree of surface coverage is 1-Ce/ C0, and the equilibrium constants KFH and nFH model are typical exponents from the intercept and slop of ...
A strong interest in science led Ignarro to Columbia University where he studied chemistry and pharmacology and in 1962 received a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. Ignarro then attended the University of Minnesota where he received a Ph.D. in pharmacology. His university studies also concentrated in...
The isoform is expressed in the nervous system to a similar degree as NO-GC1, but is also found in the lung and, to a lesser degree, in other organs (Mergia et al. 2003). The potential role of the α2 subunit as a candidate can- cer gene was already presented and debated in ...
[62]. Telomere length gradually shortens with an increasing number of cell divisions and are therefore considered to be closely associated with the degree of aging in the human body [63]. The correlation between telomere status and ovarian function in women has also received increasing levels of ...
The importance of the mitochondrial abnormalities to the A-T cellular defect is evident from the hypersensitivity of these cells to glycolysis inhibition which is comparable to the degree of sensitivity of these cells to ionizing radiation which appears to be due to a reduced capacity to deal with...
This could result from the dissociation of MgSO4 present in mining rocks. It is important to note that most extreme values were recorded during the mining period and give confidence that mining activities have led to the deterioration of water quality, but this observation is mostly for surface ...
