Reprogramming of gene expression in Escherichia coli cultured on pyruvate versus glucose
(Springer, 2019-07-30)
Previous studies revealed important roles of small RNAs (sRNAs) in regulation of bacterial metabolism, stress responses and virulence. However, only a minor fraction of sRNAs is well characterized with respect to the spectra ...
Understanding fatness in the public sphere of young students: social representations and emotional response
(Cadernos de Saude Publica, 2018)
This study examines how youth collectively represent fatness and determines the emotions it arouses. Understanding how fatness is socially constructed by young people is crucial to create programs that better deal with it. ...
A comparison of homonym meaning frequency estimates derived from movie and television subtitles, free association, and explicit ratings
(Behavior Research Methods, 2019)
Most words are ambiguous, with interpretation dependent on context. Advancing theories of ambiguity resolution is important for any general theory of language processing, and for resolving inconsistencies in observed ...
Analysing the relationship between diversification strategy and firm performance: the role of the economic cycle
(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa (Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU), 2019-06-06)
[EN] The relationship between corporate strategies and firm performance has been one of the key debates in the discipline of Strategic Management. There are studies that analyse the moderating role that certain variables ...
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)
The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ...
Phase−amplitude coupling between theta and gamma oscillations adapts to speech rate
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Low- and high-frequency cortical oscillations play an important role in speech processing. Low-frequency neural oscillations in the delta (<4Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) bands entrain to the prosodic and syllabic rates of speech, ...
Orbital magneto-optical response of periodic insulators from first principles
(Springer, 2019-03-06)
Magneto-optical response, i.e. optical response in the presence of a magnetic field, is commonly used for characterization of materials and in optical communications. However, quantum mechanical description of electric and ...
Adaptive Downregulation of Cl-/HCO3- Exchange Activity in Rat Hepatocytes under Experimental Obstructive Cholestasis
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-21)
In obstructive cholestasis, there is an integral adaptive response aimed to diminish the bile flow and minimize the injury of bile ducts caused by increased intraluminal pressure and harmful levels of bile salts and ...
Removal of Tetracycline Pollutants by Adsorption and Magnetic Separation Using Reduced Graphene Oxide Decorated with Alpha-Fe₂O₃ Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2019-02-26)
Nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with ferromagnetic alpha-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles have been prepared in-situ by thermal treatment. The structure and morphology of the hybrid material were studied by X-ray ...
Measurements of Branching Fraction and Direct CP Asymmetry in B-+/- -> (KSKSK +/-)-K-0-K-0 and a Search for B-+/- -> (KSKS0)-K-0 pi(+/-)
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-20)
We study charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final states (KSKSK +/-)-K-0-K-0 and (KSKS0)-K-0 pi(+/-) using a 711 fb(-1) data sample that contains 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs and was collected at the ...
