In 1763, a regiment of mercenary soldiers stationed on the border of Suriname and Berbice in South America, rebelled.The men had Protectors been sent to help subdue a large slave rebellion.Instead, they mutinied and joined the rebelling slaves.This paper reconstructs the mutiny from Dutch records and uses it to look at the role of soldiers as borde
Sp1 facilitates continued HSV-1 gene expression in the absence of key viral transactivators
ABSTRACT Productive replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) relies upon a well-ordered transcriptional cascade flowing from immediate-early (IE) to early (E) to late (L) gene products.While several virus-encoded transcriptional Anti-frizz spray activators are involved in this process, IE and E gene promoters also contain multiple binding sites fo
Physicochemical and phytochemical analysis of three melon fruit (canary melon, watermelon, and muskmelon) peels, and their valorization in biscuits development
IntroductionMelons are highly sought after worldwide due to their exquisite and delectable taste.However, the peels of these fruits, which are rich in phytochemicals and sustainable components for innovative culinary formulations, are often discarded as waste.MethodsThis study explored the phytochemistry and valorization of three melon fruit, i.e.,
GERD after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Prevalence and Risk Factors Analysis
Background and Objectives: The prevalence of GERD is increasing among individuals with obesity, and RYGB is an effective procedure to control GERD and obesity.However, some patients continue to have GERD after RYGB.The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors for GERD after RYGB.Material and Methods: This prospective
Contributions of Adaptive Plant Architecture to Transgressive Salinity Tolerance in Recombinant Inbred Lines of Rice: Molecular Mechanisms Based on Transcriptional Networks
Genetic novelties are important nucleators of adaptive speciation.Transgressive segregation is a major mechanism that creates genetic novelties with morphological and developmental attributes that confer adaptive advantages in certain environments.This study examined the morpho-developmental and physiological profiles of recombinant inbred lines (R
