(2018-02-01)
The first aim of this study was to investigate mesoporous activated carbon adsorbents from sisal, hemp, and flax fibers by cost-effective methods. Fibers were impregnated with low concentration (20 wt.%) phosphoric acid. ...
Proposing a Transactional Model of eHealth Literacy: Concept Analysis
(2018-10-02)
Background: Electronic health (eHealth) literacy was conceptualized in 2006 as the ability of internet users to locate, evaluate, and act upon web-based health information. Now, advances in eHealth technology have cultivated ...
Progestin and Nuclear Progestin Receptor Are Essential for Upregulation of Metalloproteinase in Zebrafish Preovulatory Follicles
(2018-09-18)
Ovulation requires proteinases to promote the rupture of ovarian follicles. However, the identity of these proteinases remains unclear. In our previous studies using RNA-seq analysis of differential expressed genes, we ...
