The Independence Principle - A Neglected Feature of the Hodgkin Huxley Legacyby
Abstract
The legacy of Hodgkin and Huxley rests on their squid giant axon studies, which were summarised in an empirical model of impressive predictive power that successfully quantified the permeability changes of excitable membranes and accurately reconstructed the action potential. Hodgkin and Huxley applied the independence principle to their experimental data in order to reveal potential mechanism(s) of trans-membrane ion movements. This was motivated by their lack of information on the manner in which ions crossed the [...] 1021 4937 |

Investigating Interest in Cancer Predisposition Testing and Expanded Carrier Screening in Routine Gynecologic Care among Pregnancy Capable IndividualsAbstract
The goal of this qualitative study was to explore pregnancy capable individuals’ perceptions of having cancer predisposition testing (CPT) and/or expanded carrier screening (ECS) during routine gynecologic care and how these perceptions differ across individuals. A thematic analysis was conducted based on qualitative data from 26 semi-structured interviews with women between 20 and 35 years of age at a single academic health center in the Mountain West of United States. The analysis indicated that participants’ int [...] 1268 4893 |
A Novel Approach to Carbon Monoxide Removal Using Transition Metal-Doped Boron Nitride Nanosensors for Environmental SustainabilityAbstract
Adsorption of toxic gas of CO molecules by using transition metals of X (X = Ti, V, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn)-doped boron nitride nanocage (B5N10_NC) has been studied by computational chemistry. Based on NQR analysis, X-doped on B5N10_NC has shown the lowest fluctuation in electric potential and the highest negative atomic charge, including 0.2331 (copper), 0.3112 (cobalt), 0.5883 (chromium), 0.6853 (zinc), 0.6893 (vanadium) and 0.7499 coulomb (titanium), respectively, have presented the most tendency for being the electron [...] 1052 4861 |
Winter Cover Crops: Relationship between Photosynthetically Active Radiation Interception and Weed Number and ProductivityAbstract
The aim of this work was to determine the photosynthetically active radiation interception (iPAR) during the cover crop (CC) growth cycle, the number and aerial dry matter (ADM) of weeds, and productivity in the following soybean and maize rotation crop. To do this, experiments with CC were performed in 2015-2016 using Hordeum vulgare L., Lolium multiflorum L., Avena sativa L., Bromus unioloides L., Vicia villosa L., Brassica campestris L., Raphanus sativus L., and Avena sativa/Vicia villosa. The iPAR at the vegeta [...] 879 4856 |
The Screening Strategies Used to Establish Egyptian Women Entrepreneurs’ Attitudes towards Genetic TechnologyAbstract
In this quantitative study, the researcher examined the screening strategies used to establish Egyptian women entrepreneurs' attitudes toward genetic technology. Using a questionnaire, the researcher collected data from 318 Egyptian women entrepreneurs. From applying the path analysis through Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 26.0, this study’s findings demonstrate genomic knowledge’s positive effect on attitudes towards genetic technology (β = 0.176; p = 0.003). The path analysis shows that, on the one [...] 1044 4852 |
Scoping Review of Nutraceuticals Use in Mediterranean DietAbstract
Mediterranean diet, considered key to varied diets, raises whether it is necessary to supplement it with compounds like nutraceuticals to obtain more benefits. A scoping review was conducted. Nine articles were selected that compared the effects of nutraceuticals on biochemical markers (such as total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc)), weight, and blood pressure in various studies to the results observed in groups only exposed to the Mediterranean diet. The aim was to assess the impact of [...] 915 4832 |
Exercise Training and Cardioprotection in Cardiovascular Disease: A Review of MechanismsAbstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, prompting extensive research into effective methods for treatment and prevention. Among these, exercise training and physical activity are widely recognized as the safest and most effective strategies for improving health. Specifically, exercise training has been explored for its role in cardioprotection, particularly in reducing damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and myocardial infarction (MI). Both high-intensity interval trainin [...] 919 4806 |
