MAXI.BOZ 11 ABSTRACT Resource attractiveness and preference is determinant to assess how biodiversity is structured in different ecosystems.Necrophagy is the alternative or complementary dietary habit of dung beetles, but a few studies have focused on evaluating how different carrion types attract different species.The goal of this study was to ass
The fusion of gamete membranes during fertilization is an essential process for sexual reproduction.Despite its importance, only three proteins are known to Brushes be indispensable for sperm-egg membrane fusion: the sperm proteins IZUMO1 and SPACA6, and the egg protein JUNO.Here we demonstrate that another sperm protein, TMEM95, is necessary for s
In internal combustion engines, a significant portion of the total fuel energy is consumed to overcome the mechanical friction between the cylinder liner and the piston rings.The engine work loss through friction Cutting Boards gradually reduces during the engine break-in period, as the result of liner surface topography changes caused by wear.This
The ability to produce force rapidly has the potential to directly influence sprinting performance through changes in stride length and stride frequency.This ability is commonly referred to as the rate of force development (RFD).For this reason, many elite sprinters follow a combined program consisting of resistance training and sprint training.The
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of motoneurons.The precise molecular and cellular basis for neuronal death is not yet well established, but the contemporary view is that it is a culmination of multiple aberrant biological processes.Among the proposed mechanisms of motoneuron degeneration, altera
