The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-04-30)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
Sustainability and OHS Global Reporting in Petrochemical Industries: The GRI Reporting Standard and Corporate Social Responsibility
(East Carolina University, 2019-06-14)
Sustainability reporting, an aspect of corporate social responsibility (i.e., CSR), is the practice of measuring, disclosing, and being accountable to internal and external stakeholders for organizational performance and ...
Angioedema after thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator: An airway emergency.
(2019-01-19)
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin resulting in fibrinolysis, is used for the treatment of acute ischemic strokes. The use of this medication ...
PREMIUM Garbage

Each year the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releases the Advancing Sustainable Materials Management: Facts and Figures Sheet. Within this document, the EPA records Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation, recycling, ...
Estrogen Regulates the Satellite Cell Compartment in Females
(2019-07-09)
Skeletal muscle mass, strength, and regenerative capacity decline with age, with many measures showing a greater deterioration in females around the time estrogen levels decrease at menopause. Here, we show that estrogen ...

Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
(2019-09-06)
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of
mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its
ability to form cross-linked networks. ...
