Hermatypic, scleractinian corals are the most important benthic substrates in a coral reef ecosystem.The existing, high (spatial) resolution, broad-band, multi-spectral, space-borne sensors have limited capability to spatially detect and spectrally discriminate coral substrates.In situ hyperspectral signatures of eight coral targets were collected
The Glaucophyta: the blue-green plants in a nutshell
The Glaucophyta is one of the three major lineages of photosynthetic eukaryotes, together with viridiplants and red algae, united in the presumed monophyletic supergroup Archaeplastida.Glaucophytes constitute a key algal lineage to investigate both the origin of primary plastids and the evolution of algae and plants.Glaucophyte plastids possess exc
Freely accessible software for recruitment prediction and recruitment monitoring of clinical trials: A systematic review
Background: The successful completion of clinical trials ultimately depends on realistic recruitment predictions.Statistical methods for recruitment prediction implemented in a free-of-charge open-source software could be routinely used by researchers worldwide to design clinical trials.However, the availability of such software implementations is
Role of HNFA1 Gene Variants in Pancreatic Beta Cells Function and Glycaemic Control in Young Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes
The HNF1A transcription factor, implicated in the regulation of pancreatic beta cells, as well as in glucose and lipid metabolism, rico reserve clarinet mouthpiece is responsible for type 3 maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3).HNF1A is also involved in increased susceptibility to polygenic forms of diabetes, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) an
