One way of identifying our MFSs is to look out for shale tops of high acoustic properties within a shale interval that corresponds to the lowest resistivity values and widest separation between neutron and density values.The TSTs culminate to a MFS as it comprises the deposits accumulated from the onset of coastal transgression until the time of ma
An overlooked mandibular-rubbing behavior used during recruitment by the African weaver ant, Oecophylla longinoda.
In Oecophylla, an ant genus comprising two territorially dominant arboreal species, workers are known to (1) use anal spots to mark their territories, (2) drag their gaster along the substrate to deposit short-range recruitment trails, 1.5" x 7" and (3) drag the extruded rectal gland along the substrate to deposit the trails used in long-range recr
OTUD5 promotes the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma by deubiquitinating and stabilizing SLC38A1
Abstract Background Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) cleave ubiquitin on substrate molecules to maintain protein stability.DUBs reportedly participate in the tumorigenesis and tumour progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).OTU deubiquitinase 5 (OTUD5), a DUB family member, has been recognized as a critical regulator in bladder cancer, breast c
Expression of the VP2 protein of murine norovirus by a translation termination-reinitiation strategy.
Expression of the minor virion structural protein VP2 of the calicivirus murine norovirus (MNV) is believed to occur by the unusual mechanism of termination codon-dependent reinitiation of translation.In this process, following translation of an upstream open reading frame (ORF) and termination at the stop codon, a proportion of 40S subunits remain
Global phosphorus dynamics in terms of phosphine
Abstract Since the detection of phosphine in the wastewater treatment plants in 1988, more and more investigations revealed that phosphine is closely related to ecological activities on a global scale.Here, we present perspectives on the whole dynamic cycles of phosphorus, particularly in terms of phosphine and its interactions with natural ecosyst
