The gene encoding PDX1 (pancreatic duodenum homeobox 1), the main transcription factor regulating the glucose-dependent transactivation of the insulin promoter in pancreatic β-cells, clusters with two closely related homeobox genes (Gsh1 and Cdx2/3), all of them belonging to the ParaHox gene family.The ParaHox gene evolutionary history in the
Capripoxviruses are the causative agents of sheeppox, goatpox, and lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle, which cause economic losses to the livestock industry in Africa and Asia.Capripoxviruses are currently controlled using several live attenuated vaccines.It was previously demonstrated that a lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) field isolate from Warmb
The levels-of-processing approach to Amber speech processing (cf.Kolinsky, 1998) distinguishes three levels, from bottom to top: perception, recognition (which involves activation of stored knowledge) and formal explicit analysis or comparison (which belongs to metalinguistic ability), and assumes that only the former is immune to literacy-dependen
The aim of personalized maps is to help individual users to read maps and focus on the most task-relevant information.Several approaches have been suggested to develop personalized maps for cities, but few consider the spatial knowledge of its users.We propose the design of “cognitively-aware” personalized maps, which take into account
