Extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated signaling is a highly evolutionary conserved intercellular mechanism in which the biological information is packaged, transported, and delivered to the target cells. The potential of EVs ...

Twitter stream has become a large source of information, but the magnitude of tweets posted and the noisy nature of its content makes harvesting of knowledge from Twitter has challenged researchers for long time. Aiming ...

The present work investigated the use of an echo state network for a gas lift oil well. The main contribution is the evaluation of the network performance under conditions normally faced in a real production system: noisy ...

In this study, crude alkaline proteases were recovered from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) viscera and partially purified by use of different saturation of ammonium sulfate. The enzyme exhibited highest yield, purity ...

Background Extra-pair paternity (EPP) in birds provides benefits in terms of more offspring, and characteristics for maintenance of this behaviour have been the subject of investigation. Microorganisms are known to be ...

Demographic consequences of rapid environmental change and extreme climatic events (ECEs) can cascade across trophic levels with evolutionary implications that have rarely been explored. Here, we show how an ECE in high ...
