The aim of our study was to investigate whether citronella-spray collars offer a humane alternative to electric-shock collars to reduce the barking of domestic dogs. The Aboistop collar was applied to seven dogs with problematic barking behaviour by the dogs' owners in a series of case studies concurrently run. Vocalisation of the dogs was recorded in the problem context under baseline conditio...

This study aims to adapt the Reading Maturity Survey (RMS) developed by Thomas, Yao, Katherine, and Kreiner (2018) into Turkish determine reading maturity level of university students. The group research consisted 734 students studying at level. In first phase adaptation study, three experts working in Department English Language Teaching a total 126 with sufficient command both languages were ...

Many biological regulatory systems respond with a physiological delay when processing signals. A simple model of regulation which respects these features shows how the ability of a delayed output to transmit information is limited: at short times by the time scale of the dynamic input, at long times by that of the dynamic output. We find that topologies of maximally informative networks corresp...

tRNA biology has come of age, revealing an unprecedented level of understanding and many unexpected discoveries along the way. This review highlights new findings on the diverse pathways of tRNA maturation, and on the formation and function of a number of modifications. Topics of special focus include the regulation of tRNA biosynthesis, quality control tRNA turnover mechanisms, widespread tRNA...

Nurse educators yearn to teach in zestful workplaces where faculty and administrators work and play well together. Even when their interactions with professional colleagues are stressful, many still believe that zestful academic workplaces are possible. How can educators bridge the gap when a zestful ideal becomes a stressful reality? Since some report that the quality of their professional rel...

University students are required to adjust a different learning system from schools. The differences would made experience difficulties, and this situation have been worsen with the COVID-19 pandemic that demanded shift full online learning. purpose of study was describe college adjustment among university students, specifically class 2020 which became first when entering college. used descript...

The integrated stress response is able to rapidly shut down the synthesis of proteins in eukaryotic cells.

The effects of stress on learning and memory are not always clear: both facilitating and impairing influences are described in the literature. Here we propose a unifying theory, which states that stress will only facilitate learning and memory processes: (i) when stress is experienced in the context and around the time of the event that needs to be remembered, and (ii) when the hormones and tra...

The symmetries of the DNA double helix require a new term in its linear response to stress: the coupling between twist and stretch. Recent experiments with torsionally constrained single molecules give the first direct measurement of this new material parameter. We extract its value from a recent experiment. Finally, we sketch the effect of constrained twist on entropic elasticity of DNA arisin...
