DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION IN THE LIVER OF THE AFRICAN LUNGFISH, PROTOPTERUS ANNECTENS, AFTER 6 MONTHS OF AESTIVATION IN AIR OR 1 DAY OF AROUSAL FROM 6 MONTHS OF AESTIVATION.

The African lungfish, Protopterus annectens, can undergo aestivation during drought.Aestivation has three phases: induction, maintenance and arousal.The objective of this study was to examine the differential gene expression in the liver of P.annectens after 6 months (the maintenance phase) of aestivation as compared with the freshwater control, or

Abstract It remains unclear whether and how maternal exposure to biomass fuel influences infant anthropometry or body proportionality at birth, which are linked to their survival, physical growth, and neurodevelopment.Therefore, this study seeks to explore the association between household-level exposure to biomass cooking fuels and infant size Doo

Fully automated verification of concurrent programs is a difficult problem, primarily because of state explosion: the exponential growth of a program state space with the number of its concurrently active components.It is natural to apply a divide and conquer strategy to ameliorate state explosion, by analyzing only a single component at a time.We

The intermittent and uncertain characteristics of wind generation have brought new challenges for the hosting capacity and the integration of large-scale wind power into the Holders power system.Consequently, reasonable forecasting wind power installed capacity (WPIC) is the most effective and applicable solution to meet this challenge.However, the

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and hospitalization worldwide.Several risk factors have been identified that are strongly associated with the development of CVD.However, these explain only a fraction of cases, and the focus of research into the causes underlying the unexplained Glue Guns risk has shifted first to genetics
