Or, more precisely, is it justifiable within the utilitarian cost:benefit framework that fundamentally underpins most regulations governing animal experimentation? To answ
In the soil, herbicides are submitted to absorption, leaching and degradation by physical, chemical and biological processes or absorbed by plants.All these processes are dependent on soil class and weather conditions and affect the product efficiency on weed control.The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of soil attributes on
Distribution networks (DNs) are facing great changes, due to the strong increase in distributed generation (DG), often driven by renewable energy sources.Designed to deliver electrical power from the transmission system to the final consumers, they are now becoming active and may inject power into the transmission network.In case of large DN, 120 a
Neoprene Gloves Nuclear hormone receptors liver X receptor (LXRα and LXRβ) ligands are attractive approaches for the treatment of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis.To further elucidate the function of LXRα in liver lipid metabolism in a disease-relevant animal model, the KKAy mouse, we used adenoviral vectors to selectively knock down LXRα gene
Chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide on Earth, after cellulose, and it is mainly obtained from the shells of crustaceans.While Makeup Bag chitin is currently derived from shrimp shells, there is a growing interest in commercializing chitin sourced from insects.This review compares chitin from various sources, including crustaceans, ins
