Abstract:

ABSTRACT Using genomic analysis, researchers previously identified genes coding for proteins homologous to the structural proteins of nitrogenase (J. Raymond, J. L. Siefert, C. R. Staples, and R. E. Blankenship, Mol. Biol. Evol. 21:541-554, 2004). The expression and association of NifD and NifH nitrogenase homologs (named NflD and NflH for “Nif-like” D and H, respectively) have been detected in a non-nitrogen-fixing hyperthermophilic methanogen, Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. These homologs are expressed constitutively and do not appear to be directly involved with nitrogen metabolism or detox

Abstract:

Land degradation, especially natural forest land degradation (NFLD), is a severe environmental concern in China. This natural disaster itself and its derivative control policies have caused some impacts on surrounding farmers’ livelihood level and strategies, but the literature on the sustainable livelihood of different households in NFLD vulnerability is limited, and there is an urgent need to bridge the gap and conduct studies on the sustainable livelihood of Changting, Libo, Lixian, Menghai and Wuxi, the typical NFLD-prone areas in China.

Abstract:

Farm soil tests are common decision support tools employed by regulatory agencies and farmers to manage nutrients in an economical and environmentally sustainable way. The complex interplay between the local environment and locally relevant crops makes soil testing, and critically soil-test-based recommendations, site-specific. Newfoundland and Labrador has a relatively small but rapidly growing commercial agriculture industry, mainly on lands converted from the boreal forest over the last 80 yr. A first step towards developing locally calibrated fertilizer recommendations is understanding cur

Abstract:

This research aims to compare the market ratio, market risk, and profitability of three media and entertainment companies: Paramount Global (PARA), Netflix (NFLX), and Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME). By analyzing these factors, the study seeks to determine the investment preferences of eight different types of investors, including Value, Income, PEG, Index, DCF, Momentum, Insider Buying, and Stock Buyback. According to the analysis in this paper, PARA is the best performer from the perspective of both scale risk and market risk, and NFLX performs the best in the assessment of carrying

Abstract:

The usage of tea polyphenols (TPs) as a natural food additive into non-fermented frozen dough (NFFD) has rarely been investigated, and results have been controversial. Hence, this study investigated the effect of TPs at various levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2%) on the quality of NFFD stored from 0 to 4 weeks. The rheological characteristics, water state, protein, and its microstructure were analyzed by DSC, LF-NMR, SDS-PAGE, FT-IR, and SEM, respectively. Results showed that the 0.5% TP group delayed the deterioration of protein and inhibited the water migration in dough throughout the whole frozen st

Abstract:

Background: Both classical severe low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) and severe normal-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (NFLG-AS) patients undergo transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, few studies have compared outcomes between the two groups. Our study aimed to assess short term post-TAVI outcomes between classical LFLG-AS and NFLG-AS. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center, analysis of 206 patients who underwent TAVI between January 2011 to September 2020. Of these, 44 (males: 33) had classical LFLG-AS and 162 (males: 89) had NFLG-AS. Six-month

Abstract:

This study employs content analysis to analyse non-financial risk disclosure (NFRD) practices within the annual reports of Saudi listed companies over eight years (2010–2017). The data gathered shows that the levels of average NFRD are moderate. The descriptive results show that the average level of NFRD in the sample is 35.33%. This number is much lower than that reported in other studies elsewhere (Elamer et al., 2020; Konishi & Ali, 2007; Ntim et al., 2013). For example, Linsley and Shrives (2006) and Rajab and Handley-Schachler (2009) find that the mean of risk disclosure is 78 and 95

Abstract:

The anti-inflammatory, thrombolytic, and hair growth-promoting activity of the n-hexane fraction from the methanol extract of Leea indica (NFLI) leaves was investigated. NFLI showed significant inhibition of hemolysis and protein denaturation, and exhibited a concentration-dependent thrombolytic activity. When applied topically to mice at concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1%, NFLI demonstrated a significant increase in average hair length (p < 0.001) compared with untreated animals. NFLI (1% concentration) exhibited the highest percentage of hair regrowth on day 7, 14 and 21 (81.24, 65.60, and 62.

The nfe genes (nfeA, nfeB, and nfeD) are involved in the nodulation efficiency and competitiveness of the Sinorhizobium meliloti strain GR4 on alfalfa roots. The nfeA and nfeB genes are preceded by functional nif consensus sequences and NifA binding motifs. Here, we determined the temporal and spatial expression patterns of the nfe genes in symbiosis with alfalfa. Translational fusions of the nfe promoters with the gusA gene and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses indicate that they are expressed and translated within mature nitrogen-fixing nodules and not during early ste

Abstract:

Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 (PYCR1) catalyzes the biosynthetic half-reaction of the proline cycle by reducing Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) to proline through the oxidation of NAD(P)H. Many cancers alter their proline metabolism by up-regulating the proline cycle and proline biosynthesis, and knockdowns of PYCR1 lead to decreased cell proliferation. Thus, evidence is growing for PYCR1 as a potential cancer therapy target. Inhibitors of cancer targets are useful as chemical probes for studying cancer mechanisms and starting compounds for drug discovery; however, there is a notable la

Abstract:

Frontal lobe seizures have a tendency to occur in sleep and in most cases occur exclusively insleep; these individuals are said to have nocturnal frontal lobe (NFLE). NFLE can be difficult to distinguish clinically from various other sleep disorders, particularly parasomnias, which also present with paroxysmal motor activity in sleep. Interictal and ictal EEG findings are frequently unremarkable or nonspecific in both parasomnias and NFLE making the diagnosis even more difficult. Nocturnal epilepsy should be suspected in patients with paroxysmal events at night characterized by high frequency,

A small subset of KD patients with fever and cervical lymphadenitis has been reported as node-first-presenting KD (NFKD). This type of KD commonly affects the older pediatric population with a more intense inflammatory process. Considering its unusual initial presentation, a delay in diagnosis and treatment increases the risk of coronary artery complications. Herein, we report the case of a 9-year-old female with feve

System epilepsy is an emerging concept interpreting major nonlesional epilepsies as epileptic dysfunctions of physiological systems. I extend here the concept of reflex epilepsy to epilepsies linked to input dependent physiological systems. Experimental and clinical reseach data were collected to create a coherent explanation of underlying pathomechanism in AE and NFLE. We propose that AE should be interpreted as epilepsy linked to the corticothalamic burst-firing mode of NREM sleep, released by evoked vigilance level oscillations characterized by reactive slow wave response.
