Abstract Background Laboratory results are influenced by presence and severity of disease, as well as preanalytical factors, analytical variation, and biological variation. Biological variation data for urinary protein: ...

Abstract Background Drought intensity and frequency are increasing under global warming in the boreal forests, and breeding for drought resistance will facilitate adaptation of new planting material to changing climate c...

Mitragyna speciosa (commonly known as kratom) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, ethnobotanically used for pain relief and fatigue management. Kratom has gained popularity in Western countries for its dose-depe...

The evolution and ecomorphology of rodent craniomandibular apparatus have been extensively studied at a broad spatial scale. However, the question of how phenotypes and developmental instability interact with ecological ...

The fragmentary early Homo fossil record represents a temporally expansive and complex lineage that is morphologically and geographically diverse. This large amount of variation, which also captures the transition period...

Abstract Current and displacement stiffness are important parameters of axial magnetic bearing (AMB) and are usually considered as constants for the control system. However, in actual dynamic work situations, time-varyin...

For large herbivores, predation-risk, habitat structure and population density are often reported as major determinants of group size variation within and between species. However, whether the underlying causes of these ...

The Fuegian thrust-fold belt (TFB) forms the thin-skinned outer wedge of the Andes in Tierra del Fuego. Using subsurface and outcrop data from two areas (Western and Eastern) of the TFB front in Argentina we aimed to ver...

IntroductionAlthough immune responses to Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination and susceptibility to mycobacterial infection vary across individuals, the underlying cellular mechanisms regulating this heterogenei...

Several Amaranthus hybridus L. biotypes present single and triple amino acid substitutions in EPSPS (5-enolypyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase). In resistant and tolerant species to glyphosate, differential susceptibi...

Whilst common across the animal kingdom, the evolution of cannibalism remains poorly understood. Part of the problem is that the number of taxonomic groups in which the evolution of cannibalism has been studied in detail...

The article deals with the elaboration of the modern theoretical concept in study of the variation of German phraseology abroad Germany. It is based on the synthesis of the theory of equal-righted pluricentrism and the h...

Subtle variations in nontraumatic early-life experience are associated with long-lasting trajectories in pups’ brain development and behavior. Understanding the mechanisms of individualization of emotional traits is cr...

Although DNA methylation is the best characterized epigenetic mark, the mechanism by which it is targeted to specific regions in the genome remains unclear. Recent studies have revealed that local DNA methylation profile...

Along with the recommendation of a healthy diet, it is suggested to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Among the latter, Brassicaceae species are preferred, because they show many phytochemicals mainly be...

Abstract Background Seasonal variation in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) is well documented, with higher morbidity in winter. Israel’s contrasting climates—Mediterranean in the north and semi-arid ...

This study aims to determine the comparison of oil yields obtained from processing HDPE plastic waste by comparing quantitatively and qualitatively the fuel oil produced. The processing of plastic waste into oil by pyrol...

Seasonal variation of the oil composition and biological activities from aerial parts of Achyrocline satureoides were investigated. Essential oils were analysed by gas crhromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after hydr...

Desde el punto de vista de la conservación, conocer la abundancia, la diversidad, y los patrones de actividad de un ensamble herpetológico son medulares para comprender la dinámica de la comunidad y el modo de cómo e...

We consider astronomical and local bounds on the time variation of fundamental constants to test some generic Kaluza-Klein–like models and some particular cases of Beckenstein theory. Bounds on the free parameters of t...

In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...

The objective of this work was to perform a quantitative analysis of the amino acid composition of soybean seeds as affected by climatic variables during seed filling. Amino acids were determined from seed samples taken ...

Based on one - dimensional leaky model for base aquitard of deep excavations, analytical solutions for the excess pore water pressure induced by variation of artesian water head and the corresponding exit gradients in th...

Abstract Circumaortic left renal vein (CLRV) is a rare variation in which two renal veins encircle the aorta prior to draining into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and can be classified into three types based on branching p...
