RECENT SELECTION OF CANDIDATE GENES FOR MAMMAL DOMESTICATION IN EUROPEANS AND LANGUAGE CHANGE IN EUROPE: A HYPOTHESIS

Recent selection of candidate genes for mammal domestication in Europeans and language change in Europe: a hypothesis

Background and aim Human evolution resulted from changes in our biology, behaviour, and culture.One source of these changes has been hypothesised to be our self-domestication (that is, the development in humans of features commonly found in domesticated strains of mammals, seemingly as a result of selection for reduced aggression).Signals of domest

Guanidinium Chloride-Induced Haemolysis Assay to Measure New Permeation Pathway Functionality in Rodent Malaria Plasmodium berghei

Parasite-derived new permeation pathways (NPPs) expressed at the red blood cell (RBC) membrane enable Plasmodium parasites to take up nutrients from the plasma to facilitate their survival.Thus, NPPs represent a potential novel therapeutic target for malaria.The putative channel component of the NPP in the human malaria parasite P.falciparum is enc

Tuning Barrier Properties of Low-Density Polyethylene: Impact of Amorphous Region Nanostructure on Gas Transmission Rate

This work focused on determining the factors that are of Scrubs/Scrapers key importance in the oxygen barrier properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE).It has been shown that, depending on the type and amount of the low-molecular-weight compound (tetracosane, paraffin wax, paraffin oil) introduced into the LDPE matrix, it can contribute to the

Visualization of Underwater Radiated Noise in the Near- and Far-Field of a Propeller-Hull Configuration Using CFD Simulation Results

Underwater radiated noise is part of the anthropogenic emissions into the environment and as such a pressing problem for the preservation of the marine ecosystem.In order to direct attention to the most relevant noise sources associated with ships it is crucial to precisely determine the local origins of the acoustic emissions.As acoustics are by n
