The Swiss plate geophone (SPG) system has been installed and tested in more than 20 steep gravel-bed streams and rivers, and related studies generally resulted in rather robust calibration relations between signal impulse counts and transported bedload mass.Here, we compare this system with three alternative surrogate measuring systems.A variant of
Objective To screen the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci and related genes that are significantly associated with essential hypertension among Chinese Tajiks by using exon sequencing and to reveal the unique essential hypertension related gene polymorphisms of the high-altitude minority.Methods A total of 62 Chinese Tajiks (26 in the contr
Abstract Background In flowering plants, proper seed development is achieved through the constant interplay of fertilization products, embryo and endosperm, and maternal tissues.Communication between these compartments is supposed to what is wool dobby fabric be tightly regulated at their interfaces.Here, we characterize the deposition pattern of a
A large scale profiling and analysis of glycerophospholipid species in macrophages has facilitated the identification of several rare and atypical glycerophospholipid species.By using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and comparison of the elution and fragmentation properties of the rare lipids to synthetic standards, we were able to i
