The aim of this study was to create a shorter Czech version (ECR-R-16) of the Revised Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-R) questionnaire and to assess its psychometric properties. Data from a representative sample of the Czech population from 15 to 90 years old (N = 1000, M age = 46.0 years, SD = 17.3) were collected using a face-to-face structured interview in 2014. The developed short f...

Beam intensities achievable from high performance ECR sources for highly charged ions are limited by the high space charge. For high performance ECR sources, the stray magnetic field of the source can provide focusing against the space charge blow-up of the beam when used with the Direct Plasma Injection Scheme (DPIS) developed for laser ion sources. A combined extraction/matching system has be...

The development of niches for tissue-specific stem cells is an important aspect of stem cell biology. Determination of niche size and niche numbers during organogenesis involves precise control of gene expression. How this is achieved in the context of a complex chromatin landscape is largely unknown. Here we show that the nuclear protein Combgap (Cg) supports correct ovarian niche formation in...

Epoxy coated reinforcement (ECR) has been used in Florida from the 1970s to 1990s but has been discontinued due to the observation of severe corrosion in some ECR bridges after short service times. Corrosion projections have been made in earlier investigations based on corrosion initiation and propagation concepts but did not consider the presence of structural cracks. The current research in p...

BACKGROUND Mammalian DOR was discovered as a gene whose expression is misregulated in muscle of Zucker diabetic rats. Because no DOR loss-of-function mammalian models are available, we analyze here the in vivo function of DOR by studying flies mutant for Drosophila DOR (dDOR). RESULTS We show that dDOR is a novel coactivator of ecdysone receptor (EcR) that is needed during metamorphosis. dDOR...

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from selection papers published in Journal Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity researchers (ECRs) working experimental biology during our centenary year but also huge variety animals physiological systems that are essential for ‘comparative’ approach. Cristian Riveros-Matthey an author on ‘ The effects...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials catalysts provide an atomic-scale view on a fascinating arena for understanding the mechanism of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2 ECR). Here, we successfully exfoliated both layered and nonlayered ultra-thin metal phosphorous trichalcogenides (MPCh3) nanosheets via wet grinding exfoliation (WGE), systematically investigated MPCh3 as CO2 ECR. Unlike C...

Scientific Solutions designed and fabricated a 14.5 GHz charge-breeder ECR source for the Texas A&M University Cyclotron facility. This charge-breeder source was designed as a charge-breeder from the start rather than as a conversion of an existing ECR system. In addition, the overall system was designed to be modular so that various components can be easily substituted to facilitate technology...
