PATERSON, CHRISTOPHER A., AND DAVID M. MAURICE. Di$usion of sodium in extracellular space of the crystalline lens. Am. J. Physiol. 220( 1) : 256-263. 197 1 .-The diffusion coefficients of radioactive ions were measured in bovine lens cortex, which is composed of closely packed long hexagonal cells. Diffusion could therefore be measured a) along the length of the cells, b) at right angles to the...

Even though foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been studied in second online learning more generally (Fondo & Jacobetty, 2019; Hurd, 2007; McNeil, 2014; Pichette, 2009), there is a lack of research on how FLA may affect university students’ academic engagement while studying through L2 English/French as medium instruction. The present study explored the effects with during COVID-19 pandemic. We...

BACKGROUND Tesamorelin, a synthetic analog of human growth hormone-releasing factor, decreases visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with lipodystrophy. OBJECTIVES 1) To evaluate the utility of patient characteristics and validated disease-risk scores, namely indicator variables for the metabolic syndrome defined by the International Diabetes Fe...

The bacterium Campylobacter jejuni naturally colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of many birds and animals, resulting in a harmless commensal relationship, but this microbe can also promote pathogenesis in humans, resulting in a productive gastroenteritis leading to a mild bloody diarrhoeal syndrome. Consumption or handling of poultry meats is prevalent source of. C. jejuni for infection in hu...

Crystallization of cathode films in solid-state microbatteries requires thermal annealing at high temperatures, restricting the choice substrate and current collector materials. Here, flash lamp (FLA) is explored to crystallize LiCoO2 (LCO) cathodes on aluminum foils. Millisecond pulses visible light induce rapid heating LCO up 900 °C, whereas never exceeds melting point. Microbatteries consist...

BACKGROUND Several studies have evaluated accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOS), but data is lacking regarding variations between IOS systems in the depiction of the critical finish line and the finish line accuracy. The aim of this study was to analyze the level of finish line distinctness (FLD), and finish line accuracy (FLA), in 7 intraoral scanners (IOS) and one conventional impression (IMPR...

Facility location-allocation (FLA) problem, which has been proved to be a valuable method in siting service facility, is widely used in real life, such as emergency service systems, telecommunication networks, public services, etc. However, in real-world situations, the decision maker often lack the information about the customers’ demands, which leads to the FLA problem in uncertain environmen...

This study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), foreign language anxiety (FLA), and demotivational factors (DF) at a foundation university in Istanbul, Turkey. 148 B1 (intermediate level) students enrolled English preparatory school participated this study. Data were collected from Turkish-adapted version of Emotional Intelligence Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), ...

Pathogenic FLA are ubiquitous protozoans and despite frequent human contact remain a rare cause of often devastating infectionwith poor prognosis. Given changes in climate, human encroachment into the environment, increasing immunosuppression, and improving diagnostic capacity, it is likely we will see increased cases in the future. Early diagnosis is challenging but crucial to achieving a favo...
