DNA damage can be caused by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors.A recent study showed that free-living house sparrows (Passer domesticus) have higher DNA damage in the summer than the winter across five different tissues.This result was consistent when house sparrows were brought into captivity and exposed to comparable light cycles, with a
Brn3a regulates neuronal subtype specification in the trigeminal ganglion by promoting Runx expression during sensory differentiation
Abstract The transcription factor Brn3a, product of the pou4f1 gene, is expressed in most sensory neurons throughout embryogenesis.Prior work has demonstrated a role for Brn3a in the repression of early neurogenic genes; here we describe a second major role for Brn3a in the specification of sensory subtypes in the trigeminal ganglion (TG).Sensory n
Notes for the history of the Spanish basketball centenary. A school and popular sport for both sexes (1897-1938)
Basketball was introduced in Spanish curricula as a means to promote physical education.Among the benefits equi-jec 7 identified in this sport by pedagogues, physical education teachers, hygienists and the military highlight those related with the promotion of teamwork competences, high level of cooperation, non-violent, moderate exercise and there
Effect of Rotary Cutting Tool Posture on Machining Performance utilizing Multi-Tasking Lathe
In this report, a driven rotary tool's machining read more performance on SUS304 stainless steel was examined.The rotary tool was attached to a milling axis on a multi-tasking lathe which has B axis control.It is possible to adjust the tool's circumferential speed as the tool is controlled to rotate by a milling motor.As well, the contact
Cognitive abilities related to foraging behavior in Vespula vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
Vespula vulgaris is an invasive social wasp that has become established in many parts of the world.Plastic cognitive systems are expected to be advantageous for invasive species, given that they continuously face dynamic and unpredictable environments.We analyzed foraging behavior associated with undepleted and depleted resources.The wasps were tra
