In the present study we explored possibility of assessing allocation photons absorbed by photosystem II (PSII) antennae to thermal energy dissipation and photosynthetic electron transport in leaves several plant species under field conditions. Changes chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were determined situ over course an entire day sun‐exposed two with different maximal rates photosynthesis, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) Vinca major . Leaves minor (periwinkle) growing a deeply shaded...
Linkage analysis of 15 Utah kindreds demonstrated that a gene responsible for von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF) is located near the centromere on chromosome 17. The families also gave no evidence heterogeneity, indicating significant proportion NF cases are due to mutations at single locus. Further genetic can now refine this localization and may lead eventual identification cloning defective disorder.
Enteric dysbiosis plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Detailed characterization alterations gut microbiome is needed for understanding their pathogenic ALD and developing effective therapeutic approaches using probiotic supplementation. Mice were fed liquid Lieber-DeCarli diet without or with alcohol (5% v/v) 6 weeks. A subset mice administered Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) from to 8 Indicators intestinal permeability, hepatic steatosis,...
A polymorphic DNA marker has been found genetically linked, in a set of 39 human families, to an autosomal recessive gene that causes cystic fibrosis (CF), disease affecting one 2000 Caucasian children. The (called D0CRI-917 ) is also linked the PON locus, which by independent evidence CF locus. best estimates genetic distances are 5 centimorgans between and 15 meaning location narrowed about 1 percent genome (about 30 million base pairs). Although data consistent with interpretation single...
The aim of this descriptive analysis was to examine sleep timing, circadian phase, and phase angle entrainment across adolescence in a longitudinal study design. Ninety-four adolescents participated; 38 (21 boys) were 9–10 years ("younger cohort") 56 (30 15–16 ("older at the baseline assessment. Participants completed then follow-up assessments approximately every six months for 2.5 years. At each assessment, participants wore wrist actigraph least one week home measure self-selected timing...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of sexting behaviors (sexually explicit messages and/or pictures) among an at-risk sample early adolescents as well associations between and sexual behaviors, risk-related cognitions, emotional regulation skills. It also determine whether differences in risk were associated with text-based versus photo-based sexts. METHODS: Seventh-grade participating a prevention trial for completed computer-based survey at baseline regarding behavior...
Abstract The development of language and communication may play an important role in the emergence behavioral problems young children, but they are rarely included predictive models development. In this study, cross-sectional relationships between language, attention, behavior were examined using parent report, videotaped observations, performance measures a sample 116 severely profoundly deaf 69 normally hearing children ages 1.5 to 5 years. Secondary analyses performed on data collected as...
SYNOPSIS Objective. This study evaluates predictors of both general and context-specific parenting stress in a cross-sectional sample hearing parents young deaf children. Design. Participants were 181 children who 92 with normal hearing. Perceived was measured using measures. Predictors included parent-reported observed child behavior problems language delays. Results. After control for maternal education family income, reported more but not than Both higher the group compared that group....
X linked recessive deafness accounts for only 1.7% of all childhood deafness. Only a few the at least 28 different syndromes associated with hearing impairment have been characterised molecular level. In 1960, large Norwegian family was reported early onset progressive sensorineural deafness, which indexed in McKusick as DFN-1, 304700. No symptoms were described that time. This has restudied clinically. Extensive neurological, neurophysiological, neuroradiological, and biochemical, well...
Use of a 4.5-kilobase-pair (kb) segment single-copy DNA from human genomic library as hybridization probe DNAs revealed allelic Taq I restriction fragments 10.6, 11.8, and 14.6 kb long. Among 12 unrelated individuals, all 6 males exhibited the 14.6-kb fragment in addition to one other fragments. Three females displayed 10.6- 11.8-kb fragments, three only length; none had fragment. Hybridization this I-digested human-rodent hybrid cell lines (which have partial complements chromosomes)...
BackgroundThe contribution of vegetation to shallow-slope stability is major importance in landslide-prone regions. However, existing slope models use only limited plant root architectural parameters. This study aims provide a chain tools useful for determining the tree roots soil reinforcement.
Late-day eating is linked to increased obesity risk; however, whether the endogenous circadian system independently influences caloric intake and if this control differs among individuals based on weight status unknown. Here, we investigated in adolescents independent roles of behavioral sleep/wake cycle (sleep/wake, fasting/eating, rest/activity, dark/dim light, social interaction, posture, etc.) self-selected using a Forced Desynchrony protocol. Fifty-one male female across three...
Leaves of Stephania japonica and Smilax australis were characterized in situ on the coast north‐eastern New South Wales, Australia, where they growing naturally three different light environments: deep shade, understory an open Eucalyptus forest received frequent sunflecks high intensity, exposed site receiving full sunlight. In shade xanthophyll cycle remained epoxidized during day vast majority absorbed was utilized for photosynthesis. both deepoxidation epoxidation changes level...
Approximately 85% of patients with Alport syndrome (hereditary nephritis) have been estimated to mutations in the X chromosomal COL4A5 collagen gene; remaining cases are autosomal COL4A3 or COL4A4 genes located on chromosome 2. In present work, promoter sequence and previously unknown intron sequences flanking exons 2 37 were determined. Furthermore, other 49 expanded from 35 190 facilitate mutation analysis gene. Using this information, all 51 region PCR-amplified sequenced DNA 50 randomly...
ABSTRACT The influence of the growth photon flux density (PFD) on size and composition carotenoid pool reduced ascorbate was determined across a light gradient from forest floor to canopy edge sub‐tropical rainforest in New South Wales, Australia. Nineteen plant species (most collected multiple sites) representing broad taxonomic range consistently possessed larger total pools when found growing more exposed sites. There significant positive correlation between β‐carotene content PFD...

The study examined the efficacy of family-based and adolescent-only HIV prevention programs in decreasing risk improving parental monitoring sexual communication among youths mental health treatment.A randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 721 adolescents (ages 13-18 years) their caregivers from settings three U.S. cities were randomly assigned to one theory-based, structured group interventions: prevention, promotion. Interventions delivered during an all-day workshop. Assessments completed...
The purpose of the current pilot study was to evaluate acceptability and preliminary impact using immersive virtual reality environments (IVREs) paired with a brief emotion regulation risk reduction intervention (ER + IVRE) relative this same content role-plays RP).Eighty-five adolescents attending middle school (grades 6th-8th; ages 12-15 years) in an urban northeast city were recruited randomized ER IVRE (n = 44) or RP 41) had complete data.

BACKGROUND: Treatment adherence in cystic fibrosis (CF) is often poor, however, less known about to pancreatic enzymes, a critical component of the CF treatment regimen. Parent caregivers report elevations depression, and parental depression may adversely affect children’s adherence. METHODS: This prospective study evaluated enzymes 83 patients (1–13 years) . Adherence was measured across 3 months with electronic pill-caps Weight at baseline 3-month follow-up. Parental depressive symptoms...
