Drosophila Acer (Angiotensin-converting enzyme-related) encodes a member of the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of metallopeptidases that have important roles in the endocrine regulation of blood homeostasis in mammals. Acer is expressed in the embryonic heart of Drosophila and expression in the adult head appears to be regulated by two clock genes. To study the role of Acer in development...

BACKGROUND There is no valid instrument for multidomain cognitive assessment to aid the detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia in Hong Kong. This study aimed to validate the Cantonese Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (C-ACER) in the identification of MCI and dementia. METHODS 147 participants (Dementia, n = 54; MCI, n = 50; controls, n = 43) aged 60 or above...

--The purpose of this paper is to identify the potentials of Acer negundo for renaturalization under midcity condrtions. --+The focus is on recent Montreal experiences. Acer negundo in the past planted mostly in its colored -leaf varieties, is hardly available anymore in the nurseries. Despite this, and despite the fact that Acer negundo is not native to our region, it has established an increa...

The effects of invasive nonnative species on community composition are well documented. However, few studies have determined the mechanisms by which invaders drive these changes. The literature indicates that many nonnative plant species alter light availability differently than natives in a given community, suggesting that shading may be such a mechanism. We compared light quantity (photosynth...

The endogenous respiration rate of unstarved cultured cells of Acer pseudo-platanus L. is markedly stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol. Pyruvate is also stimulatory but to a lesser degree than dinitrophenol. Exogenously supplied sugars cause no short-term stimulation. Pyruvate does not enhance the elevated rate of O(2) uptake in the presence of dinitrophenol but does cause additional CO(2) evolutio...

Acer pseudoplatanus L., Acer platanoides L. and Betula pendula Roth. have been studied under the urban pollution in Sofia during 3 years period. The aim of the study was, by statistical multifactorial analysis, to assess the value changes in morphological parameters of species under air pollution and potential for species usage as bioindicators in observed regions. The statistical analysis incl...
