Hanley et al. (2010, hereafter HBS) present a global climatology of wind–wave interaction based on the inverse wave age (U10 cosu)/cp, where U10 is the wind speed at a height of 10 m, cp is the phase speed of the waves at the spectral peak, and u is the angle between the wind and the direction of propagation of the dominant waves. Their paper examines the extent to which the local wave field is...

Abstract Introduction: Recently, it has been proposed that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with cardiovascular exercise (CE) may lead to positive synergies in motor and cognitive performance due assumed synergistic mechanisms on several brain levels (Steinberg, Pixa & Fregni, 2019). However, the neurophysiological effects of a combined application are currently unknown....

Introduction: Acne is a pathological disorder and a chronic inflammation in the sebaceous follicles, and one of the most popular dermatology damages that has affected millions of people worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify Candida species in patients with acne as well as determine the drug susceptibility of these species.   Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 70 cl...

Staphylococcus aureus has a tremendous unmet medical need, is impressively fast in acquiring antibiotic resistance, and there are no licensed vaccines on the market yet. Unfortunately, lack of known mechanisms of protection against S. aureus in humans is hindering development of efficacious vaccines. Several types of staphylococcal immune evasion mechanisms dampen effective humoral and cellular...

The Bereitschaftspotential (BP) was recorded at 56 scalp positions when 17 healthy subjects performed brisk extensions of the right index finger. Aim of the study was to contribute to our understanding of the physiology underlying the BP and, in particular, to specify the situation at BP onset. For this purpose, the spatial pattern of the BP was analyzed in short time intervals (35 and/or 70 ms...

BACKGROUND Protein glycosylation is of fundamental importance in many biological systems. The discovery of N-glycosylation in bacteria and the functional expression of the N-oligosaccharyltransferase PglB of Campylobacter jejuni in Escherichia coli enabled the production of engineered glycoproteins and the study of the underlying molecular mechanisms. A particularly promising application for pr...

The affective meaning of words can be quantified statistically by the "semantic differential technique". We studied a total of 55 Chinese adults in two experiments: first, 210 nouns were rated by 32 subjects. Factor analysis on these data yielded three independent semantic dimensions. Semantically unique words were used in electrophysiological experiments in another group of 23 healthy right-ha...
