- Abstract:
- ... The effects of external treatments with gibberellin, brassinosteroid and auxin on sexual determination and flower development in pomegranate (Punica granatum L. cv. Çekirdeksiz) were investigated. Eigth treatments with three growth regulators, viz., epibrassinolide at 0.01 and 0.1 ppm, homobrassinolide at 0.01 and 0.1 ppm, GA3 at 10 and 25 ppm, NAA at 5 and 15 ppm and control (water spray) were sp ...

- Abstract:
- ... Strict low-phenylalanine diet is associated with an increased risk of developing micronutrient deficiencies in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). The primary objective of this single-center, case–control study was to assess the nutritional parameters of patients with PKU on strict low-phenylalanine diet without vitamin and mineral supplementation compared to a healthy control group. Secondary ob ...

- Abstract:
- ... Hole-doped LiBC has become of great interest as a candidate for high-temperature superconductivity with its structural similarity to MgB₂ and as a possible cathode for rechargeable lithium batteries with the large graphenelike BC hexagons. The limitation on synthesis studies has detracted from the structural and electronic properties and application studies of LiₓBC. Here, we present the successfu ...

- Abstract:
- ... Among terrestrial ecosystems, forests have the largest carbon deposits, and thus play an important role in global climate change. Forests of all ages and types have a significant capacity in sequestration or depositing carbon. Increasing their capacities from this aspect can only be possible through sustainably managed forests. Therefore, in order to increase the carbon stock in forests, carbon ma ...

Minor morphological differences between the Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of Pomatoschistus pictus (Malm, 1865) resulted in the description of two subspecies of this species by Miller (1973): Pomatoschistus pictus pictus and P. p. adriaticus. However, the similarity of morphometric and meristic characteristics led to an ambiguity about their status. Despite high morphological similarities ...

The aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase(4′) is an enzyme with high substrate promiscuity and catalyzes the transfer of the AMP group from ATP to the 4′-OH site of many structurally diverse aminoglycosides, which results in the elimination of their effectiveness as antibiotics. Two thermostable variants carrying single-site mutations are used to determine the molecular properties associated with ...

When an abundance of glucose and saturated fat enter the cell, impaired blood flow, hypoxia, inflammation and macrophage infiltration in obese adipose tissue may induce oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Excessive circulating saturated fatty acids ectopi ...

- Abstract:
- ... High glucose and insulin lead to neuronal insulin resistance. Glucose transport into the neurons is achieved by regulatory induction of surface glucose transporter-3 (GLUT3) instead of the insulin. N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) receptor activity increases GLUT3 expression. This study explored whether an endogenous NMDA receptor antagonist, kynurenic acid (KynA) affects the neuronal cell viability at ...

- Abstract:
- ... In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of regulation of unevenness material implemented by automatic control in case of inappropriate dead time settings. In this analysis, we consider various degrees of inaccurate dead time settings, different sizes, and occurring frequencies of the faults on the material. The results obtained indicate that in some cases, the regulation can still continue even i ...
