L’article s’intéresse aux relations entre les communautés de Rhômaioi installées dans îles la mer Égée et cités qui accueillent. En étudiant banquets publics, je montre que ces cités, libres pour plupart, ont maîtrise des catégories d’étrangers, mais qu’il y a une évolution en lien avec l’install...

Adsorption of phosphate phosphorus (PO4-P) from wastewater onto eco-friendly geosorbents has gained great attention aiming at recovering an essential nutrient for crop production. Notably, the literature on PO4-P aqueous-phase adsorption kinetics is limited to application either empirical reaction-based models lacking a physical significance or over-simplified diffusion-based frequently used ou...

This study purports to address paucity in the literature regarding how adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) describe and experience spirituality and religiosity (S/R). This was a qualitative descriptive study. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine adolescents (Mage = 16.2 years). Data were analyzed using a template analysis style and a concurrent analysis process of data...

Most nonprimate mammals possess dichromatic ("red-green color blind") color vision based on short-wavelength-sensitive (S) and medium/long-wavelength-sensitive (ML) cone photoreceptor classes. However, the neural pathways carrying signals underlying the primitive "blue-yellow" axis of color vision in nonprimate mammals are largely unexplored. Here, we have characterized a population of color op...

Introduction Amyloid-related decline in semantic memory was recently shown to be observable in the preclinical period of Alzheimer's disease. Cognitive composites designed to be sensitive to cognitive change in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (e.g., preclinical Alzheimer's cognitive composite [PACC]) and currently used in secondary prevention trials do not currently integrate measures of semant...

Among patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative radiation therapy (RT), this study aims to characterize patient spirituality, religiousness, and religious coping; examine the ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the plant type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) utilizes amino acid residues that do not strictly adhere to the serine-lysine-leucine (SKL) motif (small-basic-hydrophobic residues). Selected residues were appended to the C terminus of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and were tested for their ability to target CAT fusion proteins to...
