Aim Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under projected anthropogenic
climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facilitate the survival of biota …

… ; the oxidized form of which is GSSG), such as the catalytic and modulator subunits of
glutamate-cysteine ligase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and several glutathione S…

Pressure measured with a cuff and sphygmomanometer in the brachial artery is accepted
as an important predictor of future cardiovascular risk. However, systolic pressure varies …

The influence of chemical cross-links between a single-walled fullerene nanotube and a
polymer matrix on the matrix−nanotube shear strength has been studied using molecular …

… (3) σ ij = 1 V ∂E ∂ε ij S where V is the volume of the solid, E is the total internal energy, ε ij
is the strain tensor, and the subscript S denotes constant entropy. When the internal energy is …

… For the charge differences that characterize the S 0 ↔ S 1 transition, we therefore employ …
S 0 and S 1 (at the S 0 geometry) scaled by the empirical factor of 1.24. For representing the S …

… In general, this is given as(11) δ W = ∰ V σ ij δ ε ij d V = ∰ V P j δ u j d V + ∰ S T j δ u j d S
+ F j δ u j , where W is the virtual work which is the work done by imaginary or virtual …

Background—Current definitions of hypertension are based on levels of systolic blood pressure
(SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), but not on pulse pressure (PP). We examined …

… As a result, the entire process of NT pull-out is characterized by an interfacial friction
model that is based on a critical pull-out force, and an analog of Newton’s friction law used to …

Background We attempted to characterize age-related changes in blood pressure in both
normotensive and untreated hypertensive subjects in a population-based cohort from the …
