In the UK, conventional asparagus cultivation practices on sloping land, erodible soils and increased frequency of extreme rainfall events combine to promote runoff generation and soil loss, particularly from interrows. This instrumented field study investigated the interactive effect of mulch and shallow soil disturbance (working depth of 0.175 m) on reducing runoff and soil loss.

Reef coral calcification depends on regulation of pH in the internal calcifying fluid in which the coral skeleton forms. However, little is known about calcifying fluid pH (pHCF) regulation, despite its importance in determining the response of corals to ocean acidification. Here, we investigate the impact of seawater dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration on calcifying fluid pH in the coral Stylophora pistillata in seawater with manipulated [DIC] and constant pH. Our results reveal that regulation...

We here provide evidence for a monogenic cause of nephrolithiasis, or kidney stones, based on an association of a polymorphism in the PDE1A gene. This variant was detected through whole-exome analysis of ten members of an affected family, as well as a case–control study of a validation cohort including over 2000 patients at our hospital.

Figure S1: NK cell killing effect against Huh-7 target cells at different effector to target (E: T) ratiosThe effect of different effector to target ratios on NK cell killing ability against its target Huh-7 cells was performed as shown in the supplementary figure. Where the ratio of E: T, 1:1 ratio showed 10% cytolytic effect, 5:1 and 2:1 showed 20% while 10:1 showed ~ 30% effect.

Candida albicans infections and candidiasis are difficult to treat and create very serious therapeutic challenges. In this study, based on interactive time profile microarray data of C. albicans and zebrafish during infection, the infection-related protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of the two species and the intercellular PPI network between host and pathogen were simultaneously constructed by a dynamic interaction model, modeled as an integrated network consisting of intercellular invasion and cellular defense processes during infection. The...

Esta es una colección de "tuits" en español irónicos y no irónicos (background) extraídos de la red social Twitter. La parte irónica fue curada a mano.
El procedimiento para obtener la colección fue el siguiente:
* Para los textos irónicos se extrajo "tuits" con los hashtags #ironía y #sarcasmo* De los "tuits" extraidos, manualmente se etiquetaron los que se consideraron irónicos* Para los textos de background, se extrajeron "tuits" con palabras normales, eg. donde o que* Para...

We are constantly exposed to a large number of chemicals present in food, water, air, dust, soil and consumer products. These chemicals enter our bodies via several routes: ingestion, inhalation and dermal absorption. Many of these chemicals are known or suspected to have toxic effects that can cause disorders and diseases. Chemical risk assessment is the process of evaluating such risks, and includes exposure assessment.Exposure assessment methods include both indirect methods, such as exposure modelling...
