High-resolution K-shell photoionization cross-sections for the C-like atomic nitrogen ion (N+) are reported in 398 eV (31.15 Å) to 450 (27.55 energy (wavelength) range. The results were obtained from absolute ion-yield measurements using SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility spectral bandpasses of 65 meV or 250 meV. In photon region 398–403 eV, 1s⟶2p autoionizing resonance states dominated cros...

Abstract The present study aimed to examine the specific relations between five motivational regulation strategies (i.e., interest enhancement, environmental control, self-consequating, performance self-talk, mastery self-talk), academic self-concept, and three cognitive learning organization, elaboration, rehearsal) of 415 university students. A total n = 238 students were in first year their ...

BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to increased androgens has been implicated in both polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and autism spectrum conditions (ASC), suggesting that PCOS may be increased among women with ASC. One study suggested elevated steroidopathic symptoms ('steroidopathy') in women with ASC. As the symptoms are not independent, we conducted a latent class analysis (LCA). The objectives ...

About 70% of human breast cancers express and are dependent for growth on estrogen receptor α (ERα), and therefore are sensitive to antiestrogen therapies. However, progression to an advanced, more aggressive phenotype is associated with acquisition of resistance to antiestrogens and/or invasive potential. In this study, we highlight the role of the serine/threonine-protein kinase D1 (PKD1) in ...

Aims. We report near-infrared (NIR) observations of the mass donors of the eclipsing high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems EXO 1722-363 and OAO 1657-415 in order to derive their accurate spectral classifications. Methods. ESO/VLT observations of the targets with the NIR spectrometer ISAAC were compared with several published NIR spectral atlases of O and B supergiants, an identification of each...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production requires a large amount of nitrogen (N) supply because growers aim to achieve high grain yield and appropriate protein content simultaneously. A comprehensive understanding the mechanisms that underpin efficient N usage at limited in wheat can facilitate development new N-saving varieties this major crop. Here, we performed comparative analysis flag leaf ...

Abstract This paper argues for the interpretation of words on Basel BS 415 as markers not only song’s content, but equally its musical notation. Predating such notation, inscribed syllables reflect language’s priority over music, opposed to later reversal these priorities. On 415, written words’ orthography sufficed an indication syllables’ prosodic qualities that enabled accompaniment follow l...
