In marine turtles, the sex of hatchlings is determined by their egg incubation temperature.Global warming may increase the extinction risk by skewing hatchling sex ratios.Assessment of this risk at the population level requires the identification of sex in hatchlings and juveniles.However, available methods are typically lethal, highly invasive, or
Background: Dietary change alters blood pressure (BP) but the specific causal dietary elements are unclear.Given previous observational data suggesting serum carnitine or uric acid affect BP, we investigated the role of serum carnitine and serum uric acid concentrations on BP, and considered mediation by lipids and insulin resistance using two-samp
Background: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are rare lesions of the vermiform appendix and characterized by mucinous epithelial proliferation, extracellular mucin, and the absence of destructive invasion.Appendiceal diverticulum (AD) is also an uncommon condition that may be challenging to differentiate from acute appendicitis when
The idea for this special issue developed from a conversation at an inter-national workshop where this guest-editor, the general editor of this journal, and several VItamin Box other linguists working on Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Basque were present.The topic of the conversation was the perceived need to have a new linguistics journal focusi
The inhibition effect of halide ions such as iodide, bromide and chloride ions on the corrosion of iron Card Reader in 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 and the adsorption behaviour of these ions on the electrode surface have been studied by polarization and impedance methods.It has been found that the inhibition of nearly 90% has been observed for iodide ions at
