It has been shown that dominant individuals sustain eye-contact when non-consciously confronted with angry faces, suggesting reflexive mechanisms underlying dominance behaviors. However, dominance and submission can be conveyed and provoked by means of not only facial but also bodily features. So far few studies have investigated the interplay of body postures with personality traits and behavi...

We can predict how an object would look like if we were to see it from different viewpoints. The brain network governing mental rotation (MR) has been studied using a variety of stimuli and tasks instructions. By using activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis we tested whether different MR networks can be modulated by the type of stimulus (body vs. non-body parts) or by the type of ...

While telomerase is known to extend the length of telomeres and prevent the onset of telomeric cell senescence, it has recently come to light that it has other lengtheningindependent properties. Resurrection of telomerase expression in tumor cells leads to cell “immortalization”. Ectopic expression of telomerase has been shown to alter expression of growth-promoting genes and enhance cell proli...

This review will focus on the acquisition of desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum. Molecular aspects of desiccation tolerance in this plant will be compared with the response of non-tolerant plants to dehydration. Unique features of C. plantagineum are described like the CDT-1 (Craterostigma desiccation tolerance gene-1) gene and the carbohydrate metabolism...

There are a few statements in Scripture which are often adduced as indisputable evidence that we cannot expect a resurrection of this body of flesh.

In this paper, a dynamical multiple criteria model of integrated adaptive planning and scheduling for complex technical – organizational system (CTOS) is presented. Various types of CTOS are used nowadays, for example: virtual enterprises, supply chains, telecommunication systems, etc. Hereafter, we mostly interpret CTOS as the systems of the above-mentioned types. The above-mentioned CTOS pecu...
