Thirty-five years ago, Gerald W. Hohmann, late Professor of Geophysics at The University of Utah, published a seminal paper on 3D electromagnetic (EM) modeling using the integral equation (IE) method. This achievement subsequently inspired a considerable body of research in 3D EM modeling and inversion. Over the decades, the IE method evolved from the academic intrigue of EM fields scattering f...

BACKGROUND The hierarchical model of achievement motivation presumes that achievement goals channel the achievement motives of need for achievement and fear of failure towards motivational outcomes. Yet, less is known whether autonomous and controlling reasons underlying the pursuit of achievement goals can serve as additional pathways between achievement motives and outcomes. AIMS We tested ...

Abstract Partnerships are demanded to implement a more integrated approach sustainable development problems. The complex character of sustainability requires the participation many societal spheres resolve them. Sustainable Development Goal #17 “Strengthen means implementation and revitalize global partnership for development” recognizes multi‐stakeholder partnerships as important vehicles mobi...

Using Ephestia kuehniella larvae as hosts, invert emulsion (IE) and an aqueous suspension (AS) of Beauveria bassiana (isolate IR34-JS2) and Metarhizium anisopliae (isolate IR41-TT1) formulations were compared when stored for three months at either 3 °C or 25 °C. Initially, IE formulations of isolates JS2 and TT1 were 13- and 14-fold more virulent than AS formulations, based on their LC50 values...

The only currently available method to measure brain glycogen in vivo is 13C NMR spectroscopy. Incorporation of 13C-labeled glucose (Glc) is necessary to allow glycogen measurement, but might be affected by turnover changes. Our aim was to measure glycogen absolute concentration in the rat brain by eliminating label turnover as variable. The approach is based on establishing an increased, const...

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays a key role in the physiological response to stress, preparing the organism for appropriate action. While some research has examined universally relevant threats, other research has suggested that individual differences may moderate the relationship between stress and cortisol release, such that some individuals exhibit modified reactivity to p...
