The interaction of space and time affects perception of extents: (1) the longer the exposure duration, the longer the line length is perceived and vice versa; (2) the shorter the line length is, the shorter the exposure duration is perceived. Previous studies have shown that space-time interactions in human vision are asymmetrical; spatial cognition has a larger effect on temporal cognition rat...

The roles of ATP hydrolysis in electron-transfer (ET) reactions of the nitrogenase catalytic cycle remain obscure. Here, we present a new structure of a nitrogenase complex crystallized with MgADP and MgAMPPCP, an ATP analogue. In this structure the two nucleotides are bound asymmetrically by the Fe-protein subunits connected to the two different MoFe-protein subunits. This binding mode suggest...

Hemispheric asymmetries are a central principle of nervous system architecture and shape the functional organization of most cognitive systems. Structural gray matter asymmetries and callosal interactions have been identified as contributing neural factors but always fell short to constitute a full explanans. Meanwhile, recent advances in in vivo white matter tractography have unrevealed the as...

Background: Worldwide Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction carries out high rate of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Perinatal mortality rates are 4-8 times higher for growth-retarded infants. IUGR are subdivided into symmetrical and asymmetrical subtypes. Aim of Study: To focus on the actual incidence of each subtype of IUGR and disparities. Methods: Across-sectional descriptive study a...

this study aims to examine how iranian efl learners perceive and apply mitigation devices in request speech act in 4 asymmetrical situations. role-play interactions and questionnaires were used to elicit the required data from iranian informants (male vs. female). the results obtained from the analysis of data revealed that in identical situations, male requestors were comparably more certain t...

The C. elegans intestine is a simple tube consisting of a monolayer of epithelial cells. During embryogenesis, cells in the anterior of the intestinal primordium undergo reproducible movements that lead to an invariant, asymmetrical 'twist' in the intestine. We have analyzed the development of twist to determine how left-right and anterior-posterior asymmetries are generated within the intestin...
