La cryopréservation consiste à préserver les propriétés biologiques des cellules par le froid : appliquée aux gamètes, elle permet de pouvoir utiliser après décongélation pour faire enfants plus tard. Cet article se penche sur biais genre l’œuvre dans savoirs experts la du sperme et ovocytes. Ce ne sont donc pas questions que cet...

The goal of this work is to develop a gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation functional of Kohn-Sham density functional theory for treating molecular problems with a special emphasis on the prediction of quantities important for homogeneous catalysis and other molecular energetics. Our training and validation of exchange-correlation functionals is organized in terms of databases and...

BACKGROUND Glutamate is of great importance in food and pharmaceutical industries. There is still lack of effective statistical approaches for fault diagnosis in the fermentation process of glutamate. To date, the statistical approach based on generalized additive model (GAM) and bootstrap has not been used for fault diagnosis in fermentation processes, much less the fermentation process of glu...

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPGs) is a components of the extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle that is concentrated at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Recent studies have suggested that HSPG, together with its bound peptide growth factors, plays important roles in autocrine or paracrine types of regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Heparin-binding growth-associated molecule...

Gallium (Ga) is a semimetallic element that has demonstrated therapeutic and diagnostic-imaging potential in a number of disease settings, including cancer and infectious diseases. Gallium's biological actions stem from its ionic radius being almost the same as that of ferric iron (Fe(3+)), whereby it can replace iron (Fe) in Fe(3+)-dependent biological systems, such as bacterial and mammalian ...

Traditionally, confounding by continuous variables is controlled by including a linear or categorical term in a regression model. Residual confounding occurs when the effect of the confounder on the outcome is mis-modelled. A continuous representation of a covariate was previously shown to result in a less biased estimate of the adjusted exposure effect than categorization provided the function...

The gam gene of bacteriophage Mu encodes a protein which protects linear double stranded DNA from exonuclease degradation in vitro and in vivo. We purified the Mu gam gene product to apparent homogeneity from cells in which it is over-produced from a plasmid clone. The purified protein is a dimer of identical subunits of 18.9 kd. It can aggregate DNA into large, rapidly sedimenting complexes an...

Harmonics m the radiation of a free electron laser are useful for extending the range of tuning, may originate in spontaneous or parametric processes, and can take part m stimulated emission or amplification . These mechanisms exhibit interesting analogies with those of nonlinear optics . Apart from the well known nonparametric gam analogous to stimulated Brilloum scattering, they include third...
