Hypoxia is a common component of many developmental insults and has been studied in early-stage chicken development. However, its impact on cardiac function and arterial-ventricular coupling in late-stage chickens is relatively unknown. To test the hypothesis that hypoxic incubation would reduce baseline cardiac function but protect the heart during acute hypoxia in late-stage chickens, white L...

Thermoplastic epoxy resin (TPER)-based composites containing different amounts of ultra-fine cellulose (UFC) were prepared via melt compounding and injection molding. The effect of UFC loading on the mechanical properties and dynamic rheological behavior of the UFC-filled TPER composites was analyzed. The UFC-filled composites displayed higher complex viscosities than those of the neat TPER com...

Varicoceles (VCs) are the predominant cause of male infertility and are a risk factor for chronic venous disease. Morinda officinalis (M. officinalis) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to tonify the kidney and strengthen yang. In this study, we evaluated the effects of water-soluble polysaccharides extracted from M. officinalis (MOPs) on gonadotropin-release hormone (GnRH) secretion in a c...

In the fields of genomics and high dimensional biology (HDB), massive multiple testing prompts the use of extremely small significance levels. Because tail areas of statistical distributions are needed for hypothesis testing, the accuracy of these areas is important to confidently make scientific judgments. Previous work on accuracy was primarily focused on evaluating professionally written sta...

A Nem Adom Fel Alapítvány szerint "mindenki elég gazdag ahhoz, hogy másoknak segítsen". Ezen elv alapján működik a Önkéntesek csapata, ahol az önkéntes koordinátor igyekszik megtalálni önkéntesek helyét csapatban, bármilyen élethelyzetben, nehézséggel, hátránnyal is éljen adott jelentkező. Így válik segítségre szoruló félből egy aktívan segítő, támogató személy, aki akár csak mozdulattal, gondo...

Background Elevated baseline (BL) C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can predict treatment response in patients (pts) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor for the of AS. Objectives To evaluate impact BL CRP on tofacitinib efficacy and safety pts Methods Post hoc analysis pooled data from placebo (PBO)-controlled, randomised, double-blind trials ( NCT01786668 , ...

The electrification of vehicles and the transition to a circular economy (CE) are important aspects EU’s strategy become climate neutral by 2050. However, compatibility between these two objectives is questionable. Indeed, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in most electric (EVs) currently difficult recycle due economic practical challenges. This recycling problem increases risk that end-of-life...

A szervezeti működés és az intézményrendszer tekintetében Afrikai Unió Európai Uniót Egyesült Nemzetek Szervezetét tekinti mintának. Az afrikai regionalizmus ugyanakkor számos egyedi ismérvvel rendelkezik. Tanulmányomban a régió jellemzőit szempontjából vizsgálom, elsősorban új szempontrendszerét követve. Mivel azonban térség nemzetközi kapcsolataiban változatlanul államközi, kormányközi együtt...
