Cichorium intybus var.foliosum (witloof) is an economically important crop with a high nutritional value thanks to many specialized metabolites, such as polyphenols and terpenoids.However, witloof plants are rich in sesquiterpene lactones (SL) which are important for plant defense but also impart a bitter taste, thus limiting industrial application
Abstract Background Following one mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), there is a window of vulnerability during which subsequent mTBIs can cause substantially exacerbated impairments.Currently, there are no known methods to monitor, shorten or mitigate this window.Methods To characterize a preclinical model of this window of vulnerability, we first
During C.elegans development, microRNAs (miRNAs) function as molecular switches that define temporal gene expression and cell lineage patterns in a dosage-dependent manner.It is critical, therefore, that the expression of miRNAs be tightly regulated so that target mRNA expression is properly controlled.The molecular mechanisms that function to opti
Traditional antenna array design aims at minimising the mutual coupling between the elements.When elements are fully isolated, the active impedance seen by the Swim Dresses amplifiers does not depend on the beam steering angle.However, at the same time, the mutual coupling can not be exploited in re-configuring the operation of the antenna-amplifie
This paper investigates the jump dynamics of foreign exchange rates utilizing Barnsdorff-Nielsen and Shepherd (BNS) and Ait-Sahalia Jacob (AJ) jump detection Swim Dresses procedures.The sample includes the nine major exchange rates of the world as well as two exchange rates from an emerging market (Turkey).The observation period is from January 1,
