Four experiments investigated the hypothesis that different attributes of a visual scene are processed by independent channels working asynchronously. Experiment 1 considered the attributes of colour, form, and movement of simple geometrical configurations. In each of three conditions, two of these attributes switched simultaneously between two fixed values (Green/Red, Circle/Square, Fixed/Movi...

Biobanks are gaining in importance by storing large collections of patient’s clinical data (e.g. disease history, laboratory parameters, diagnosis, life style) together with biological materials such as tissue samples, blood or other body fluids. When releasing these patientspecific data for medical studies privacy protection has to be guaranteed for ethical and legal reasons. k-anonymity may b...

Although invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to biodiversity, human health, and economy, our understanding of the factors controlling their distribution and abundance is limited. Here, we determine how environmental factors, land use, life-history traits of the invaders, residence time, origin, and human usage interact to shape the spatial pattern of invasive alien plant species in ...

the culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mabs) production. the quality by design (qbd) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. an important step in qbd is determination of the main quality attributes. during the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

allamah tabatabai interprets the doctrine of attributive monotheism of god under the philosophical theory of the identity of god’s perfection attributes with his essence. because, in his view point, it is the only rational way for explanation of attributive monotheism. according to this theory, all divine perfection attributes are identical with each other and with god’s nature in external worl...

beekeeping as a technology package disseminated to target farmers in nigeria seems to suffer setbacks ranging from negative perception of farmers about the technology to technical contents of the package. this study therefore analyzes the technology attributes that influence non adoption of apiary technology packages in cross river state, nigeria. purposive and multistage random sampling techni...

Fluorescent biosensors are powerful analytical tools for studying biological events in living systems. Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted much research interest and have been identified as a novel class of luminogens to develop fluorescent turn-on biosensors with superior sensitivity. In this Tutorial Review, we present an overview of the AIE...
