Polyphenols: From Theory to Practice

Background: The importance of polyphenols in human health is well known; these compounds are common in foods, such as fruits, vegetables, spices, extra virgin olive oil and wine. On the other hand, the different factors that modulate the bi...

Phase-resolved prediction of ocean wave field using video prediction

Short-term phase-resolved ocean wave field prediction is desired for safe and efficient offshore operation. The dynamics of ocean waves are influenced by ambient currents, nonlinearity, and finite depth, which are difficult to characterize ...

Assessing the impact of the Kuroshio Current on vertical cloud structure using CloudSat data

This study analyzed CloudSat satellite data to determine how the warm ocean Kuroshio Current affects the vertical structure of clouds. Rainfall intensity around the middle troposphere (6 km in height) over the Kuroshio was greater than tha...

Uranyl Nitrates: By-Products of the Synthetic Experiments or Key Indicators of the Reaction Progress?

Six novel uranyl nitrate compounds K3[(UO2)(NO3)Cl3](NO3) (1, 2), α-Cs2[(UO2)(NO3)Cl3] (3), [(UO2)(NO3)2(H2O)2][(CH3NH3)2(NO3)2] (4), Cs2[(UO2)(NO3)4] (5), and [(UO2)2(OH)2(NO3)2(H2O)3](H2O) (6) have been prepared from aqueous solutions. Th...

Radiative forcings for 28 potential Archean greenhouse gases

Despite reduced insolation in the late Archean, evidence suggests a~warm climate which was likely sustained by a stronger greenhouse effect, the so-called faint young sun problem (FYSP). CO2 and CH4 are generally thought to be the mainstays...

Potential and limitations of multidecadal satellite soil moisture observations for selected climate model evaluation studies

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable (ECV) of major importance for land–atmosphere interactions and global hydrology. An appropriate representation of soil moisture dynamics in global climate models is therefore important. Recentl...

MADURA DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS A DESTINATION SYARIAH INDONESIA TOURISM

This study aims analyze the potential of attractions in Madura to become sharia tourism destinations. Next will measure the level of community readiness and development strategies for Islamic tourism in Madura. To analyze the potential of s...

Controle da podridão parda do pessegueiro com fungicidas e fosfitos avaliados em pré e pós-colheita Control of peach tree brown rot by fungicides and phosphites evaluated during preharvest and postharvest

A podridão parda é a doença mais importante para a cultura do pessegueiro, entretanto, no Brasil são escassos os trabalhos realizados a campo visando o seu controle. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, selecionar fungicidas em laboratório e avali...

The Netrin-related domain of Sfrp1 interacts with Wnt ligands and antagonizes their activity in the anterior neural plate

Abstract Background Secreted frizzled related proteins (SFRPs) are multifunctional modulators of Wnt and BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein) signalling necessary for the development of most organs and the homeostasis of different adult tissues...

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier ...

MiRNA Profiles in Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines of Finnish Prostate Cancer Families.

BACKGROUND:Heritable factors are evidently involved in prostate cancer (PrCa) carcinogenesis, but currently, genetic markers are not routinely used in screening or diagnostics of the disease. More precise information is needed for making tr...

Sugar Signaling and Post-transcriptional Regulation in Plants: An Overlooked or an Emerging Topic?

Plants are autotrophic organisms that self-produce sugars through photosynthesis. These sugars serve as an energy source, carbon skeletons, and signaling entities throughout plants’ life. Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression p...

Preclinical Characterization of Mobocertinib Highlights the Putative Therapeutic Window of This Novel EGFR Inhibitor to EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Introduction: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations account for 10% of all EGFR mutations and are mostly insensitive to approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs). Novel EGFR TKIs have been developed or repurposed for these mutants. A ...

The impacts of tidal wetland loss and coastal development on storm surge damages to people and property: a Hurricane Ike case-study

Abstract Coastal wetlands protect communities during hurricanes by reducing storm surge flooding and damages. Previous studies have quantified surge reduction benefits of wetlands, but there is less understanding of how the combination of w...

Investigating Professional Development Policy and Practice for Educational Policy-Makers in Vietnam: An Exploratory Study

There has been a large number of studies concerning professional development at the micro level. However, little research has been particularly conducted to investigate professional development at the macro level. This study aims to explore...

Study on evaluation of normal range of maximum mouth opening among Indian adults using three finger index: A descriptive study

Introduction: Early recognition of decreased or limited mouth opening in many pathological conditions is necessary for prompt diagnosis and to plan the treatment options judiciously. Therefore, it is essential to establish what constitutes ...

The role of feedback in supporting trainees who underperform in clinical environments

IntroductionUnderperformance in clinical environments can be costly and emotional for all stakeholders. Feedback is an important pedagogical strategy for working with underperformance – both formal and informal strategies can make a differe...
