Harnessing the intragenomic variability of rRNA operons to improve differentiation of Vibrio species
(Nature, 2024)
Although the 16S rRNA gene is frequently used as a phylogenetic marker in analysis of environmental DNA, this marker often fails to distinguish closely related species, including those in the genus Vibrio. Here, we investigate ...
Do calmodulin binding IQ motifs have built-in capping domains?
(Wiley, 2021-08-15)
Most calmodulin (CaM) targets are alpha-helices. It is not clear if CaM induces the adoption of an alpha-helix configuration to its targets or if those targets are selected as they spontaneously adopt an alpha-helical ...
Association between birthweight and later body mass index: an individual-based pooled analysis of 27 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Background: There is evidence that birthweight is positively associated with body mass
index (BMI) in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors
or the intrauterine environment. We ...
Chronic defeat stress induces monoamine level dysregulation in the prefrontal cortex but not in the hippocampus of OF1 male mice
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Chronic social stress can increase susceptibility to chronic diseases such as depression. One of the most used models to study the physiological mechanisms and behavioral outcomes of this type of stress is chronic defeat ...
A “Blood Relationship” Between the Overlooked Minimum Lactate Equivalent and Maximal Lactate Steady State in Trained Runners. Back to the Old Days?
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07)
Maximal Lactate Steady State (MLSS) and Lactate Threshold (LT) are physiologically-related and fundamental concepts within the sports and exercise sciences. Literature supporting their relationship, however, is scarce. ...
Innovative strategy for developing PEDOT composite scaffold for reversible oxygen reduction reaction
(ACS, 2024-04)
Metal–air batteries are an emerging technology with great potential to satisfy the demand for energy in high-consumption applications. However, this technology is still in an early stage, facing significant challenges such ...
A kinetic Monte Carlo study of the C3S dissolution mechanism
(Elsevier, 2024-06-09)
Understanding the mechanism that controls cement hydration and its stages is a long-standing challenge. Over a decade ago, the mineral dissolution theory was adopted from geochemistry to explain the hydration rate evolution ...
The influence of AI in the media work force: How companies use an array of legal remedies
(Ramon Llull University, 2024-05-14)
The emergence of ChatGPT and other related artificial intelligence systems has posed many questions upon the impact that such tools could have on some jobs, including media workers. Serious legal concerns have arisen ...
Educational attainment of same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic twins: An individual-level pooled study of 19 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Comparing twins from same- and opposite-sex pairs can provide information on potential sex differences in a
variety of outcomes, including socioeconomic-related outcomes such as educational attainment. It has been
suggested ...
Resembling graphene/polymer aerogel morphology for advancing the CO2/N2 selectivity of the postcombustion CO2 capture process
(ACS, 2024-04)
The separation of CO2 from N2 remains a highly challenging task in postcombustion CO2 capture processes, primarily due to the relatively low CO2 content (3–15%) compared to that of N2 (70%). This challenge is particularly ...
