The growth of the world's population increases the demand for fresh water, food, energy, and technology, which in turn leads to increasing amount of wastewater, produced both by domestic and industrial sources. These ... -
Polymorphisms of toll-like receptors 2 and 9 and severity and prognosis of bacterial meningitis in Chinese children
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in innate immunity, protecting the host from bacterial pathogens. We investigated whether bacterial meningitis (BM) in children was associated with gene polymorphisms in TLR2 ... -
Far-infrared photometry of OJ 287 with the Herschel Space Observatory
<p>Context: The blazar OJ 287 has shown a approximate to 12 year quasi-periodicity over more than a century, in addition to the common properties of violent variability in all frequency ranges. It is the strongest known ... -
The role of situational interest in game-based learning
CEUR Workshop Proceedings<p>Previous research has emphasized the important role of interest in education. However, only a few studies have investigated situational interest in game-based learning environments. Therefore, this study aims to clarify ... -
Genome sequencing and population genomic analyses provide insights into the adaptive landscape of silver birch.
Silver birch (Betula pendula) is a pioneer boreal tree that can be induced to flower within 1 year. Its rapid life cycle, small (440-Mb) genome, and advanced germplasm resources make birch an attractive model for forest ... -
The Pursuit of Effective Working Memory Training: a Pre-registered Randomised Controlled Trial with a Novel Varied Training Protocol
<p> Working memory (WM) training, typically entailing repetitive practice with one or two tasks, has mostly yielded only limited task-specific transfer effects. We developed and tested a new WM training approach where the ... -
Are Quantitative Errors Reduced with Time-of-Flight Reconstruction When Using Imperfect MR-Based Attenuation Maps for F-18-FDG PET/MR Neuroimaging?
<p>We studied whether TOF reduces error propagation from attenuation correction to PET image reconstruction in PET/MR neuroimaging, by using imperfect attenuation maps in a clinical PET/MR system with 525 ps timing resolution. ... -

Parenting in place: The reception centre as the spatial context for laying the foundations for asylum-seeking children's healthy development
<p>Brain architecture is shaped by early childhood experiences, which thus affect future physical and mental health. These experiences consist primarily of parenting, intertwined with environment. The mental health of ... -
AAV2-VEGF-B gene therapy failed to induce angiogenesis in ischemic porcine myocardium due to inflammatory responses
<p>Therapeutic angiogenesis induced by gene therapy is a promising approach to treat patients suffering from severe coronary artery disease. In small experimental animals, adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have shown good ...
