Abstract Sea urchins are biotic factors driving the decline of kelp forests in marine ecosystems.However, few studies have analyzed the microbiota of surviving sea urchins in barren regions with scarce diet resources.Here, we analyzed the microbiota in the pharynx and gut of the sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus located along the coast of an expanding
BACKGROUND:Little is known about connectivity within Boxes the default mode network (DMN) in heroin-dependent individuals (HDIs).In the current study, diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) were combined to investigate both structural and functional connectivity within the DMN in HDIs.METHODS:Fourteen HDIs and 14
This paper proposes an adaptive data-driven novel technique for generating physician’s schedules exploring the trade-off between physician waiting time and patient experience.Generally, in hospitals fix time slots are assigned to the patients, without differentiating patients into different categories.Some patients are referral patients who
The combination of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic Nature Book stimulation (LF-rTMS) and intensive occupational therapy (iOT) has been shown to ameliorate upper limb hemiparesis in patients with chronic subcortical stroke.However, the neural mechanisms underlying its efficacy are poorly understood.Our aim was to examine the cortical
The regulation of the acid-base balance in cells is GENMAI MISO essential for proper cellular homeostasis.Disturbed acid-base balance directly affects cellular physiology, which often results in various pathological conditions.In every living organism, the protein family of carbonic anhydrases regulate a broad variety of homeostatic processes.Here
