In order to evaluate the significance of the partial correlation values at each time point in the Granger causality analysis, a null distribution of correlation values was generated at each time point by shuffling the elements of the similarity matrices and then using the scrambled matrices in eqs...
Science of the total environmentGauzere, C.; Godon, J. J.; Blanquart, H.; Ferreira, S.; Moularat, S.; Robine, E.; Moletta-Denat, M. 'Core species' in three sources of indoor air belonging to the human micro-environment to the exclusion of outdoor air. Sci. Total Environ. ...
Each panel consists of the STEM image, mapping images of individual elements, and combined mapping of both elements. The voltage loss at a fixed current density from the BOT to EOT is another important measure characterizing the durability of the operation of the PEMFC. Significantly, the voltage...
Confinement of biomolecules and biochemical reactions within membrane-bound microcompartments is a key step towards the construction of biomimetic microreactors that are capable of mimicking the rudimentary functionality of living cells1,2. Towards the localization of enzymatic elements, synthetic strategies ...
of which are critical for plant tissue formation. Ågren (2008) showed that nutrient concentrations in the tissues ofLycopersicum esculentum,Betula pendulaandSelenastrum minutumvary with time. These variations are related to the plants relative growth rates and affect the stoichiometry of key elements ...
In this study, a microhydroxyapatite whisker (mHAw) was developed, which was doped with the essential trace active elements Mg2+ and Sr2+ through a low-temperature sintering technique. After being formulated into a slurry, a bionic porous scaffold was manufactured by extrusion molding and freeze ...
(Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and NIS-Elements imaging software v. 5.20. Finally, the endophyte E051 was identified through molecular procedures by analysis of the ITS, LSU andtub2regions. For the molecular procedures, in all cases, DNA was extracted and purified directly from colonies growing in ...
Besides, some studies still exist that consider not only the potential conflicts arising from intermediate elements in a two-stage system but also the sharing and distribution of initial inputs within the system (Seiford and Zhu, 1999, Toloo et al., 2017). For example, Feng and Chen (2014...
6) and integrins are the fundamental components in FA as well as the essential elements for mechanosensing and mechanotransduction32, we further investigated whether the spherical SBCs-mediated differentiation was regulated by α2 and α5 integrins. Downregulation of endogenous α2 or α5 integrin was...
Herein, we demonstrate that the use of index-matching materials (IMMs) allows direct visualization of microbial cells maintained at a solid–liquid interface through confocal reflection microscopy (CRM). The refractive index mismatch induces a background
