examining the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and communication strategies by iranian efl learners
the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (fne) and communication strategies (css) among iranian efl learners. it was aimed to examine the differences in the use of communication strategies between speakers with high or low degree of fear of negative evaluation. the current study was a case study consisting of 10 english learners at...
Chemoattractant-mediated changes in cytoskeletal actin of cellular slime moulds.
We report changes in actin associated with the Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton following chemotactic stimulation in five species of cellular slime mould, Dictyostelium discoideum, D. mucoroides, D. purpureum, D. lacteum and Polysphondylium violaceum. Stimulation of amoebae with the chemoattractant specific for each species elicits a rapid increase in cytoskeletal actin content with a peak at 5 s,...
متن کاملAre Slime Moulds Living Memristors?
In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum show current versus voltage profiles consistent with memristive systems. This result complements previous findings on memristive properties of other living systems (human skin and blood and leaves) and contributes to development of self-growing bioelectronic circuits.
متن کاملEffect of bacteria on chemotaxis in the cellular slime molds.
The effect of chemotactic substances, secreted by Escherichia coli, on the cellular slime molds was studied by deposition of bacteria near myxamoebae populations. Droplets of a bacterial suspension and a myxamoebae suspension were placed separately, at predetermined distances from each other, on a hydrophobic agar surface of low rigidity. Myxamoebae remained confined inside the droplets, except...
متن کاملCell mixtures of different species and strains of cellular slime moulds.
INTRODUCTION T H E cellular slime moulds have, in their life history, a period of feeding of separate independent amoebae which subsequently stream together (by a process involving chemotaxis) to central collection points. Each of the resulting cell-masses differentiates into a fruiting body; in most species there is a delicate tapering celluose stalk which surrounds the large vacuolate stalk-c...
