We conducted a study to investigate the motivational dynamics of protest participation. Previous research suggests that instrumental and identity motives together with group-based anger predict people’s intentions to participate in protest. The present research combines these motives with ideology into a single model. So far, no study has tested such a model or attempted to assess the motives’ ...

Large RNAs can collapse into compact conformations well before the stable formation of the tertiary contacts that define their final folds. This study identifies likely physical mechanisms driving these early compaction events in RNA folding. We have employed time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering to monitor the fastest global shape changes of the Tetrahymena ribozyme under different ionic ...

BIOFEEDBACK Blachinsky et al. (1) described a procedure they term controlled and ordered oligonucleotides ligations (COOL), which we agree will be an extremely useful procedure for scientists attempting to create tandemly reiterated sequences in plasmids. We are writing to point out that we described a technique very similar to this one in a series of articles starting with a paper published in...

Aim: when programming a medical test such as capsule endoscopy (CE), finding the closest point between the patient’s experience and his/her expectation is essential to improve any further explorations. For this purpose we designed a form which tries to collect the information required. Material and methods: from December 2003 to January 2005 we examined the small intestine of 98 patients with t...

Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a neuronal translational repressor and has been implicated in learning, memory, and cognition. However, the role of Bacopa monnieri extract (CDRI-08) in enhancing cognitive abilities in hypoxia-induced memory impairment via Fmr-1 gene expression is not known. Here, we have studied effects of CDRI-08 on the expression of Fmr-1 gene in the hippocampu...

Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important diseases of poultry, negatively affecting poultry production worldwide. The disease is caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1), a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Avulavirus, family Paramyxoviridae. Although all NDV isolates characterized to date belong to a single serotype of APMV-1,...

Abstract Aim Delayed start times in the CEPOD theatre were observed locally and a ‘Golden Patient’ initiative was proposed, whereby patient is identified day before as first case for following day. We aimed to increase percentage of list patients sent 08:15. Method conducted retrospective analysis on each between 18th May 2021 8th August timings recorded. introduced concept 9th 2021. The propos...
