An alternative mechanism that dims high redshift supernovae without cosmic acceleration utilizes an oscillation of photons into a pseudo-scalar particle during transit. Since angular diameter distance measures are immune to the loss of photons, this ambiguity in interpretation can be resolved by combining CMB acoustic peak measurements with the recent baryon oscillation detection in galaxy powe...

BACKGROUND Metabolomics is increasingly recognized as an invaluable tool in the biological, medical and environmental sciences yet lags behind the methodological maturity of other omics fields. To achieve its full potential, including the integration of multiple omics modalities, the accessibility, standardization and reproducibility of computational metabolomics tools must be improved signific...

BACKGROUND The current study examined the relationships between academic achievement, sleep, temperament and demographic-historical data in school-age children. METHODS Teachers were asked to fill out the teacher temperament questionnaire and a form for school achievement, while mothers filled out a demographic-historical form and the sleep disturbance scale for children (SDSC), a 26-item que...

1,1-Bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-substituted phenyl)methanes (C-DIMs) activate the orphan receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and Nur77 and induce receptor-dependent and -independent apoptotic pathways in colon and other cancer cells. Structure-activity studies show that the p-bromo (DIM-C-pPhBr) and p-fluoro (DIM-C-pPhF) analogs, which exhibit minimal activation of N...

نقش سلولهای خونی به عنوان اجزای اصلی دفاع فیزیولوژیک حشرات مهم گزارش شده است. اولین فاکتورهای سیستم گردش خون هستند که در مقابله با انواع تنشها و عوامل بیگانه مشارکت می کنند. تحقیق حاضر، چهار نوع هموسیت همولنف لارو سن چهارم خرطوم بلند دمبرگ چغندرقند شناسایی شد شامل پروهموسیتها، گرانولوسیتها، پلاسموتوسیتها انوسیتوئیدها هستند. بزرگترین از نظر اندازه بودند مجموع فراوانی گرانولوسیتها لاروهای سنین سو...

The distribution of DNA among bacterioplankton and bacterial isolates was determined by flow cytometry of DAPI (4',6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole)-stained organisms. Conditions were optimized to minimize error from nonspecific staining, AT bias, DNA packing, changes in ionic strength, and differences in cell permeability. The sensitivity was sufficient to characterize the small 1- to 2-Mb-genome o...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the factors affecting an elite athlete’s transition from the sports environment, and identify opportunities for interventions to facilitate a positive transition into post-sports life. Articles were identified through a systematic keyword and database search and were examined using the components of Schlossberg’s Model of Human Adaptation to Tran...
