Our meta-analysis1 is an investigation of studies regarding the potential benefits of chess for children with respect to (a) mathematics skills, (b) reading skills, and (c) several cognitive skills (general int
Robotic fruit harvesting requires dexterity to handle delicate crops and development relying upon field testing possible only during the harvesting season. Here we focus on raspberry crops, and explore how the research methodology of harvesting robots ca
How cell fate is decided is under intense debate and most likely related to post-translational modification and the intensity of the stress; overwhelming stress will cause cell death, while less intense stress will cause senescence [28,29]. It has been suggested that the role of p21WAF1/CIP1...
Microbes are important drivers of host phenotype and evolution [1]. Benefits derived from microorganisms can facilitate the occupation of new ecological niches [2,3,4,5] and microbial effects on host phenotypes and fitness can spur adaptive processes [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Changes in t...
Thus, high organellar genome copy numbers provide an energetic incen- tive to either delete genes from the organellar genome or transfer them to the nuclear genome. Given that the magnitude of the energetic advantage of endosymbiotic gene transfer is dependent on protein abundance, we sought to ...
1). Such integration of embodiment within numerical training has been associated with more pronounced training benefits16. Moreover, compared to previous studies, the relatively more engaging design (i.e., immediate feedback, adaptive to player performance, training on a more complex task featuring ...
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanoparticles and nanostructures has attracted wide attention because the nanoparticles exhibit a strong near-field enhancement through interaction with visible light, enabling subwavelength optics
research obscures the fact that industry engagement often generates considerable benefits for commercialization. We conclude that, given academics’ motivations, talk of convergence between scholarship and commerce can be premature, although the interaction between these realms continues to be mutually ...
Furthermore, the force from thermal convection benefits trapping. The observation of a 2D crystal structure demonstrates that plasmon-enhanced optical trapping is a promising method for fabricating microscale crystals of NPs. Although the optical force increases with increasing laser power, the power ...
By contrast, activated ion ETD (AI-ETD) uses infraredphotoactivationduring the ETD reaction to disrupt the gas-phase non-covalent interactions that prevent formation ofcand⋅z-type product ions, thereby greatly reducing ETnoD. This benefitsglycoproteomics(Riley et al., 2019), top-downproteomics(Mc...
