Five specimens, of the neotropical false-vampire bat, Vampyrum spectrum, were studied in an attempt to decide whether they were capable of discriminating between targets of differing shapes and sizes using echolocation alone....
BB-3644 is an oral, broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMPI) structurally related to marimastat and BB-94. It is also >10-fold more active than marimastat in inhibiting the processing of cell-bound TNF-alpha....
BACKGROUND: The number of gluten-free diet followers without celiac disease (CD) is increasing. However, little is known about the characteristics of these individuals. OBJECTIVES: We address this issue by investigating a wide...
Abstract: Bayesian optimisation is a sample-efficient search methodology that holds great promise for accelerating drug and materials discovery programs. A frequently-overlooked modelling consideration in Bayesian optimisation...
The advancement of microgravity simulators is helping many researchers better understanding the impact of the mechanically unloaded space environment on cellular function and disfunction. However, performing microgravity...
PURPOSE: The UK Biobank study collected detailed dietary data using a web-based self-administered 24 h assessment tool, the Oxford WebQ. We aimed to describe a comprehensive food grouping system for this questionnaire and to...
Abstract: Schwann cell grafts support axonal growth following spinal cord injury, but a boundary forms between the implanted cells and host astrocytes. Axons are reluctant to exit the graft tissue in large part due to the...
The key concepts of digital forensic investigation in cloud computing are examination and investigation. Cybercriminals target cloud-based web applications due to presence of vulnerabilities. Forensic investigation is a complex...

Assessments of the impact of offshore energy developments are constrained because it is not known whether fine-scale behavioural responses to noise lead to broader-scale displacement of protected small cetaceans. We used passive...
Here we present the carbon isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the sulfur isotopic composition of sulfate, along with changes in sulfate concentrations, of the pore fluid collected from a series of...
Introduction Since its emergence in 1981, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which poses a serious challenge to mankind, without doubt, has become one of the most serious infectious diseases. Many adolescents around the world are sexually...
The internet makes it easier for people to connect to each other and has become a platform to express ideas and share information with the world. The growth of the internet has indirectly led to the development of social...
Diaphragmatic hernia can be of two types-absence or deficiency of the diaphragm, or eventration resulting in elevation of a portion of the diaphragm as a result of incomplete muscularization. Complete eventration almost...

To detect modest associations of dietary intake with disease risk, observational studies need to be large and control for moderate measurement errors. The reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, food groups and...
