Qualitative and quantitative indices of feeding and competitive relationships are investigated for pacific herring Clupea pallasii , walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma , and arabesque greenling Pleurogrammus azonus on the data of bottom trawl surveys conducted over the shelf and upper Digestive Bitters continental slope of Peter the Great Bay in
Assessing Performance of Alkali Activated Calcined Kaolin Clay Based Self-Compacting Geopolymer Concrete Using Nanoparticles and Micro Steel Fiber
The sustainable production of self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGPC) is eco-friendly and has less carbon footprint than normal concrete.On the other hand, nanoparticles have been added to SCGPC in previous studies to enhance its characteristics.However, limited studies have concentrated on using nano-alumina and nanocalcium carbonate in SCGPC.
Complement C3a receptor inactivation attenuates retinal degeneration induced by oxidative damage
Retinal degeneration causes vision loss and threatens the health of elderly individuals worldwide.Evidence indicates that the activation of the complement system is associated with retinal degeneration.However, the mechanism of complement signaling in retinal degeneration needs to be further studied.In this study, we show that the expression of C3
CRISPR Interference of a Clonally Variant GC-Rich Noncoding RNA Family Leads to General Repression of var Genes in Plasmodium falciparum
ABSTRACT The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses mutually exclusive expression of the PfEMP1-encoding var gene family to evade the host immune system.Despite progress in the molecular understanding of the default silencing mechanism, the activation mechanism of the uniquely expressed var member remains elusive.A GC-rich noncoding RNA
