Intergenerational research on sustainable consumption remains scarce, particularly in relation to which factors may affect the level of intergenerational similarity and direction transmission. The present study addresses these gaps adds growing body literature environmental consumer socialization by examining influence attitudes behaviors a sample 146 dyads comprised mothers college-age daughte...

Stem cells and neuroblasts derived from mouse embryos undergo repeated asymmetric cell divisions, generating neural lineage trees similar to those of invertebrates. In Drosophila, unequal distribution of Numb protein during mitosis produces asymmetric cell divisions and consequently diverse neural cell fates. We investigated whether a mouse homologue m-numb had a similar role during mouse corti...

We computed the kinematics of $Z$-boson decay into a heavy--light neutrino pair when is produced at rest in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions, including subsequent heavy visible final state containing charged-lepton. concentrated on heavy-neutrino masses order dozens GeV and issue addressing nature neutrinos---Dirac fermions or Majorana fermions. find that while it not possible to tell l...

This paper begins by developing a causal theory of mechanisms in medicine, and illustrates the theory with the example of the mechanism of the disease anthrax as elucidated by Koch. The causal approach to mechanisms is then compared to the Machamer, Darden, Craver (MDC) approach. At first sight the two approaches appear to be very different, but it is argued that the divergence is less than it ...

In this paper, several experiments on F0 transformation within the voice conversion framework are presented. The conversion system is based on a probabilistic transformation of line spectral frequencies and residual prediction. Three probabilistic methods of instantaneous F0 transformation are described and compared. Moreover, a new modification of inter-speaker residual prediction is proposed ...

Bone mass and body composition traits are genetically programmed, but the timing and gender and site specificities of their heritability are unclear. Mother-child correlations of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content, lean mass, and fat mass were studied in 169 premenopausal mothers and their 239 children. Heritability estimates of lean mass, fat mass, BMD, and area were derived f...

Twenty-nine human microsatellite primer pairs were screened for their utility in the cross-species amplification of baboon DNA derived from both blood and feces as part of a larger study to identify paternal half sisters in a population of wild baboons (Papio cynocephalus). Forty-one percent (12/29) of the human primers successfully amplified baboon DNA. Of these 12 primers, six amplified fragm...

Heparin is a structurally complex, polysaccharide anticoagulant derived from livestock, primarily porcine intestinal tissues. Low molecular weight (LMW) heparins are derived through the controlled partial depolymerization of heparin. Increased manufacturing and regulatory concerns have provided the motivation for the development of more sophisticated analytical methods for determining both thei...
