This is Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), whereby the soil is not kept continuously flooded. Instead, it is allowed to drain for a period of one or more days after the ponded water has disappeared, before being re-flooded (Lampayan, Rejesus, Singleton, & Bouman, 2015). What is alternate wetting and dryingRead More →
Dissolution is the process where a solute in gaseous, liquid, or solid phase dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. Solubility. Solubility is the maximum concentration of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature. At the maximum concentration of solute, the solution is saidRead More →
Restenosis Prevention Drug-eluting stents. Perivascular delivery which delivers the drug into the space around the artery. Delivery catheters. Antibody or peptide-linked drugs. Gene-based therapies. Cell-based therapies. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery. How often does in stent restenosis occur? Ellis says, “in-stent restenosis still occurs in approximately 3 to 10% of patients withinRead More →
Purine biosynthesis occurs in the cytosol of all cells. The purine ring is built up in a series of 11 enzyme catalysed steps. Each enzyme is oligomeric, which means it contains several monomers. Intermediate products that are produced during the reaction are not released. What is de novo purine synthesis?Read More →
Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis from glucose. It takes place in the cytosol of muscle or liver and requires ATP and UTP besides glucose. Where does glycogenolysis take place in the body? Glycogenolysis occurs primarily in the liver and is stimulated by the hormones glucagon and epinephrine (adrenaline).Read More →
Look for changes such as: Large, puffy cumulus clouds. Darkening sky and clouds. Abrupt changes in wind direction. Sudden drop in temperature. Drop in atmospheric pressure. Is thunder a warning for lightning? The resulting clap of thunder is the result of a shock wave created by the rapid heating andRead More →
A limited number of plants can live in the benthic zone at the bottom of the ocean. The majority of plants can only live in water that’s shallow enough to let in sunlight, which they require for photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce nutrients. Does photosynthesis occur in theRead More →
Missense Mutation A missense mutation is when the change of a single base pair causes the substitution of a different amino acid in the resulting protein. This amino acid substitution may have no effect, or it may render the protein nonfunctional. How often do missense mutations occur? The most numerousRead More →
Supercooling is when a substance is temporarily cooled below its freezing point without becoming a solid. This occurs when heat is removed from a liquid so rapidly that the molecules do not have enough time to align themselves in the ordered structure of a solid. What is the purpose ofRead More →
Based on this theory, several best clinical strategies are being recommended to reduce the risk of NEC. These include breast milk feeding, restrictive use of antibiotics, supplementation with probiotics, and standardized feeding protocols (SFPs). Do full term babies get NEC? RESULTS: During the 5 years of the study, 14 full-termRead More →
