Open AccessHematological profile of East African short-horn zebu calves from birth to 51 weeks of age
This paper is the first attempt to accurately describe the hematological parameters for any African breed of cattle, by capturing the changes in these parameters over the first 12 months of an animal’s life us...

ATR controls cellular adaptation to hypoxia through positive regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) expression
Tumor cells adaptation to severe oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) plays a major role in tumor progression. The transcription factor HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor 1), whose α-subunit is stabilized under hypoxic c...

The extent of methane (CH4) emissions after fertilisation of grassland with digestate
Methane (CH4) emissions following surface application of liquid digestate were measured on agricultural grassland. The total extent of emissions was estimated by curve fitting and integration. The temporal patter...

Article
Plasma nitriding of steels with severely plastic deformed surfaces
Linear Flow Splitting (LFS) is a new massive forming process, which enables the continuous production of integral bifurcated profiles with ultrafine-grained surface layers. Owing to the uniaxial material flow ...

Evidence for repetitive load in the trapezius muscle during a tap** task
Many studies describe the trapezius muscle activation pattern during repetitive key-tap** focusing on continuous activation. The objectives of this study were to determine whether the upper trapezius is phas...

BSA adsorption on titanium: ToF-SIMS investigation of the surface coverage as a function of protein concentration and pH-value
The adsorption properties of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on pure titanium (99.99%+) were studied by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For this...

HDLs inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagic response induced by oxidized LDLs
The apoptotic effect of oxidized LDLs (oxLDLs) is mediated through a complex sequence of signaling events involving a deregulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis. OxLDLs also trigger ER stress that may lead to...
