The tilted-wave interferometer (TWI) is a recent and promising technique for optically measuring aspheres freeform surfaces combines an elaborate experimental setup with sophisticated data analysis algorithms. There are, however, many parameters that influence its performance, greater knowledge about the behavior of TWI needed before it can be established as measurement standard. Virtual experi...

Morphine withdrawal usually results in unsuccessful outcomes. Despite partial benefits from alternative substances such as methadone, its use may not lead to the desired result due to the lack of mental tranquility during the withdrawal period. In this study, by means of an animal model, morphine itself was used to manage morphine dependence. Forty mice were divided into 5 groups, in which 4 gr...

An important challenge in the process of tracking and detecting the dissemination of misinformation is to understand the gap in the political views between people that engage with the so called ”fake news”. A possible factor responsible for this gap is opinion polarization, which may prompt the general public to classify content that they disagree or want to discredit as fake. In this work, we ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the physiological responses of sheep and goats to water restriction using the deuterium dilution technique (D2O) to predict the total water intake (TWI) in both species. In two consecutive trials, 10 non-lactating Boer goats and 10 non-lactating German black-head mutton ewes were each randomly allocated into a treatment and a control group...

Œis demo shows the €rst results of the E2mC H2020 European project, where the goal is to extract precisely located information from available social media sources, providing accurate...

We describe the identification and detailed expression pattern of a second Drosophila Sox gene, SoxNeuro (SoxN), highly related to mammalian group B Sox1, 2, 3 genes. SoxN is expressed in a highly dynamic pattern during embyogenesis, being associated with the development of the central nervous system (CNS), from the early steps onwards. We present strong evidence that the early SoxN neuroectode...

Bible translation activities have been documented since the return of Jewish people from Babylonian captivity in period 5th century BCE (Before Common Era). In Ghana, earliest portions Scripture was Ga 1805. into mother tongues overtly or covertly employs one more philosophies known translating Bible. This article examined philosophy that underpinned Asante-Twi Bible, a mother-tongue is widely ...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent bioaccumulative compounds with adverse impacts on the environment human health. Diet is one of main sources exposure to PFASs. Recently, EFSA established a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) limit (4.4 ng/kg b.w.) for mixture four major Eggs egg products can contribute this intake, their contamination possibly dependent husbandry system.
