MicroRNAs (miRNA) comprise a group of short ribonucleic acid molecules implicated in regulation of key biological processes and functions at the post-transcriptional level.Ionizing radiation (IR) causes DNA damage and generally triggers cellular stress response.However, the role of miRNAs in IR-induced response in human embryonic stem cells (hESC)
Effects of Nicotine on the Neurophysiological and Behavioral Effects of Ketamine in Humans
Background: N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor hypofunction has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and its associated neurocognitive impairments.The high rate of cigarette smoking in schizophrenia raises questions about how nicotine modulates putative NMDA receptor hypofunction in the illness.Accordingly, we examined the modu
Meta-analysis indicates better climate adaptation and mitigation performance of hybrid engineering-natural coastal defence measures
Abstract Traditional approaches to coastal defence often struggle to reduce the risks of accelerated do little and bums climate change.Incorporating nature-based components into coastal defences may enhance adaptation to climate change with added benefits, but we need to compare their performance against conventional hard measures.We conduct a meta
Performance and Feasibility of Drone-Mounted Imaging Spectroscopy for Invasive Aquatic Vegetation Detection
Invasive plants are non-native species that can spread rapidly, leading to detrimental economic, ecological, or environmental impact.In aquatic systems such as the Sacramento-San Joaquin River omni logic plus Delta in California, USA, management agencies use manned aerial vehicles (MAV) imaging spectroscopy missions to map and track annual changes
