Abstract Background For ecological studies, it is crucial to count on adequate descriptions of the environments and samples being studied.Such a description must be done in terms of their physicochemical characteristics, allowing a direct comparison between different environments that would be difficult to do otherwise.Also the characterization mus
Feminine Pads More aggressive prostate cancer cells (PCCs) are often resistant to chemotherapy.Differences exist in redox status and mitochondrial metabolism that may help explain this phenomenon.Two human PCC lines, PC-3 cells (more aggressive) and LNCaP cells (less aggressive), were compared with regard to cellular glutathione (GSH) levels, susce
Purpose.The study involves: 1) formation of 3D propeller models under study; 2) studying of the effect of profiling the blade of the propeller on its hydrodynamic characteristics; 3) development of a methodology for specifying optimal project parameters for modeling the operation of a propeller in free water, which in the future could be recommende
Abstract The highly unique zigzag-shaped stem phenotype in tea plants boasts significant ornamental value and is exceptionally rare.To investigate the genetic mechanism behind this trait, we developed BC1 artificial hybrid populations.Our genetic analysis revealed the zigzag-shaped trait as a qualitative trait.Utilizing whole-genome resequencing, w
From the study of six examples, this article proposes to analyze the playful character of the paper chases by moving away from the notion of gamification, which is not relevant in this case.The aim is to understand how these games articulate mechanisms, often linked to the presence of enigmas and investigation, a more or less important but always p
