Kisspeptin peptides play major roles in the regulation of reproduction and Salami puberty onset in mammals.While most mammals only have one kisspeptin gene, other jawed vertebrates present two or three genes.Recent data also revealed the presence of two genes in lampreys (jawless vertebrates).However, apart from gene sequence data, there is almost
Personalising screening of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy - qualitative evidence to inform effective implementation
Abstract Background Internationally, systematic screening for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) usually includes annual recall.Researchers and policy-makers support extending screening intervals, citing evidence from observational studies with low incidence rates.However, there is little research around the acceptability to people with
Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements of the Wake Fields Behind A Panamax Bulker Ship Model Under the Ballast Condition
Particle image velocimetry is applied in this study to measure the wake flow field of a Trains Panamax Bulker ship model under the ballast condition.This investigation revealed that the Froude number is 0.167.The time-averaged velocity, turbulent fluctuations, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), Reynolds stresses, and vorticity information were measure
The impact of work pressure on decision-making effectiveness among department heads in faculties of educational sciences.
This study explores the dynamics of work pressure and decision-making effectiveness among university department heads within the context of Middle Eastern higher education.It aims to address a significant gap in the literature by answering five key questions: (1) What level of work pressure do department heads face as perceived by faculty members?
A molecular dynamics calculation to cascade damage processes
In this work, Molecular dynamics simulation was performed to study the cascade damage evaluation initial from a 250 eV Primary Knock-on Atoms Trains (PKAs) in gold.For this purpose, the simulations were carried out using the molecular dynamics code GRAPE to study the cooling phase of a cascade from the thermodynamic point view.Interatomic interacti
