In most animals, female meiosis completes only after fertilization. Sperm entry has been implicated in providing a signal for the initiation of the final meiotic processes; however, a maternal component required for this process has not been previously identified. We report the characterization of a novel family of three highly similar paralogs (memi-1, memi-2, memi-3) that encode oocyte-specif...

Neoliberalism as it emerged from the West, has been localised when entered China along with global market. In 2010s, a series of neoliberal policies under mass entrepreneurship and innovation (MEMI) initiative were launched to support an entrepreneurial environment for Chinese theatres. To understand how state applied neoliberalism characteristics (applied) theatre via practice MEMI policies, t...

Photogrammetric models have become a standard tool for the study of surfaces, structures and natural elements. As an alternative to Light Detection Ranging (LiDAR), photogrammetry allows 3D point clouds be obtained at much lower cost. This paper presents enhanced workflow image-based reconstruction high-resolution designed work with fixed time-lapse camera systems, based on multi-epoch multi-im...

Introduction: Coronary MR Angiography is a valuable tool for non-invasive assessment of coronary arteries. Presently, contrastenhanced, fat-saturated, ECG-triggered and navigator-gated 3D spoiled gradient-echo sequence is employed for whole-heart Coronary MRA at 3T. However, large static field variations at 3T frequently result in non-uniform fat-suppression over the field-of-view (FOV), obscur...

Previous research suggests that there are four primary motives to eat meat: it is natural, normal, necessary, or nice. However, these have not yet been distinguished empirically; the lack of a measurement tool can distinguish has contributed literature focuses primarily on meat-eating motivation justification in general, as opposed differences between motives. We developed 19-item measure, Moti...
