The long - lasting impact of postnatal neuropeptide
IT HAS BEEN a long-standing observation that overnutrition during the early lifetime can have a permanent influence on the feeding behavior and body weight gain of the adult individual. The maintenance of energy balance, which is the resultant of energy intake and expenditure, is controlled by a complex network of neurohumoral factors (2, 5, 10). Among those, neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino ac...
متن کاملChicxulub impact ejecta from Albion Island, Belize
Impact ejecta from the Albion Formation are exposed in northern Belize. The ejecta come from the outer portion of the continuous ejecta blanket of the Chicxulub crater, which is located 360 km to the northwest. The basal unit of the Albion Formation is a 3⁄41-m-thick clay and dolomite spheroid bed composed of up to four discrete flows. The clay spheroids are altered impact glass, and the dolomi...
متن کاملLightweight Impact Analysis using Island Grammars
Impact analysis is needed for the planning and estimation of software maintenance projects. Traditional impact analysis techniques tend to be too expensive for this phase, so there is need for more lightweight approaches. In this paper, we present a technique for the generation of lightweight impact analyzers from island grammars. We demonstrate this technique using a real-world case study in w...
متن کاملPunishment has a lasting impact on error-related brain activity.
The current study examined whether punishment has direct and lasting effects on error-related brain activity, and whether this effect is larger with increasing trait anxiety. Participants were told that errors on a flanker task would be punished in some blocks but not others. Punishment was applied following 50% of errors in punished blocks during the first half of the experiment (i.e., acquisi...
متن کاملThe Long-lasting Impact of Nutrition: Developmental Programming
Livestock producers are interested in utilizing nutrients in the most efficient way to optimize growth. Often, one tends to focus on the growth that an animal achieves after birth, however, the majority of mammalian livestock (i.e. swine, sheep, and cattle) spend 3540% of their life (i.e. from conception to consumption) within the uterus, being nourished solely by the placenta. The maternal sys...
