Life history traits determine the organismal abundance within a population and are affected by the presence of trade-offs that modify relationships between traits.These relationships can vary across different environments either by local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity.Reproductive traits have direct fitness implications and therefore are suita
Compress-and-Forward for Relay Broadcast Channels without Common Messages
This paper is connected with compress-and-forward strategy for two-user relay broadcast channels without common messages, where the relay node has private messages from the source, in addition to aiding traditional communication from the source to the destination.For this channel we derive two achievable rate regions based on the compress-and-forwa
Emerging Roles of cGAS-STING Signaling in Mediating Ocular Inflammation
Cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), a sensor of cytosolic DNA, recognizes cytoplasmic nucleic acids to activate the innate immune responses via generation of the second messenger cGAMP and subsequent activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STINGs).The cGAS-STING signaling has multiple immunologic and physiological functions in all hum
Synthesis, molecular docking and biological potentials of new 2-(4-(2-chloroacetyl) piperazin-1-yl)-N-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)acetamide derivatives
Abstract In the present study, a series of 2-(4-(2-chloroacetyl)piperazin-1-yl)-N-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)acetamide derivatives was synthesized and its chemical structures were confirmed by physicochemical and spectral characteristics.The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial (tube dilution techn
Assessment of Existing Masonry Resistance Using Partial Factors Approaches and Field Measurements
The vast majority of existing structures in Croatia, as well as in other European countries, are made of unreinforced masonry.The seemingly ideal building material presents a great challenge for engineers in earthquake-prone zones.Given that structural failure can have significant consequences in terms of red label violin strings color code loss of
