In order to accurately explore the relationship between density of Engraulis japonicus and environmental factors, five types models, including Tweedie-Generalized Additive Model (GAM), two-stage GAM, Ad hoc-GAM, Generalized Mixing (GAMM), were compared based on survey data in offshore waters southern Zhejiang, China from 2015 2021 this study. The results showed best goodness fit for GAM when pr...

Equations describing eigenmodes with the frequencies of the order of the geodesic acoustic frequency and the electron/ion diamagnetic frequency in toroidal plasmas are derived and analyzed, a code BOAS solving them is developed. It is shown that there exist drift-sound eigenmodes and new drift-Alfvén eigenmodes. This is done by means of an analytical consideration and numerical modelling of par...

the relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the netherlands. for a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. a generalized additive model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

Abstract BACKGROUND We previously reported on our in vitro and vivo studies using the metallocompound gallium maltolate (GaM) to target glioblastoma (GBM). demonstrated a profound cytotoxic effect vitrov vivo. Additionally, preliminary data suggested substantial inhibitory tumor growth, as well significant extension of disease-specific survival (OS). Here, we further validate effects GaM METHOD...

Skeletal muscle and liver tissue from 0,-day-old chick embryos were dissociated into separate cells using 0-25 % (w/v) crude trypsin. The effect of rabbit anti-actomyosin sera on the aggregation of these cells was estimated by the gyratory shaker and turbidimetric methods. Studies were also undertaken on the ability of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled rabbit anti-uterine actomyosin serum (FI...

BACKGROUND The humanitarian response to the crisis in Darfur is the largest humanitarian operation in the world. To investigate the evolution of the conditions of the affected population, we analysed trends in malnutrition and mortality, the most widely accepted indicators for assessing the degree of severity of a crisis. METHODS We did a meta-analysis of 164 publicly available surveys taking...

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was found to bind specifically to a 100,000 x g pellet prepared from bovine adrenal medulla. The PGE receptor was associated with a GTP-binding protein (G-protein) and could be covalently cross-linked with this G-protein by dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) in the 100,000 x g pellet (Negishi, M., Ito, S., Tanaka, T., Yokohama, H., Hayashi, H., Katada, T., Ui, M., and Ha...
