The abilities of animals and humans to extract rules from sound sequences have previously been compared using observation of spontaneous responses and conditioning techniques.However, the results were inconsistently interpreted across studies possibly due to methodological and/or species differences.Therefore, we examined the strategies for discrim
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that causes absence or dysfunction of a protein named transmembrane conductance regulatory protein (CFTR) that works as an anion channel.As a result, the secretions of the organs where CFTR is expressed are very viscous, so their functionality is altered.The main cause of morbidity is due to the involvement
Abstract Background Although chest trauma happens very often, accompanying tricuspid valve injuries occur rarely and may be manifested by scarce symptoms and signs.Pericardial rupture with cardiac herniation is even a bigger rarity.Transthoracic echocardiography plays a key role in the diagnosis of valve injuries but is of limited value in cardiac
Major types of chemical concrete degradation such as carbonation, leaching and acid attacks are strongly associated with decreasing internal or external pH.Thus a precise determination of the latter is crucial for the assessment regarding the degree of corrosion and corresponding development of prevention strategies.Conventional pH measure methods
