Household debt in Thailand has become a serious problem, particularly for the elderly, because they have less ability to pay debts compared to the working population. Therefore, better understanding of the elderly’s debt and delinquency is crucial in policy formulation for the aged society. Previous works have focused on the elderly’s debt, either at the macro or individual levels. Little is known about geographic differences at the regional level. Читать дальше...

In rearing systems for the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica, although it is assumed that microorganisms influence larval survival and mortality, particularly during the early stages of growth, the effects of bacterial communities on larval survival have yet to be sufficiently determined. In this study, we compared the bacterial communities associated with larval survival at three stages of eel growth. To artificially alter bacterial communities and assess larval survival...

Previously, we reported the development of a human Aγ-globin gene lentivirus (LV), GbG, which expresses high levels of HbF to correct the sickle cell anemia (SCA) phenotype in the Berkeley SCA mouse model, and then modified the γ-globin gene by substituting glycine at codon 16 with aspartic acid in the Aγ-globin gene to generate GbGM LV. In the present study, we evaluated the long-term safety of human Aγ-globin gene carrying GbGM LV in wild-type... Читать дальше...

Membrane binding is a crucial mechanism for many proteins, but understanding the specific interactions between proteins and membranes remains a challenging endeavor. Coagulation factor Va (FVa) is a large protein whose membrane interactions are complicated due to the presence of multiple anchoring domains that individually can bind to lipid membranes. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the membrane binding of FVa and identify the key... Читать дальше...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a regulatory mechanism used by bacteria to coordinate group behavior in response to high cell densities. During QS, cells monitor the concentration of external signals, known as autoinducers, as a proxy for cell density. QS often involves positive feedback loops, leading to the upregulation of genes associated with QS signal production and detection. This results in distinct steady-state concentrations of QS-related molecules in QS-ON and QS-OFF states. Читать дальше...

Psychological and neuroscientific research over the past two decades has shown that the Bayesian causal inference (BCI) is a potential unifying theory that can account for a wide range of perceptual and sensorimotor processes in humans. Therefore, we introduce the BCI Toolbox, a statistical and analytical tool in Python, enabling researchers to conveniently perform quantitative modeling and analysis of behavioral data. Additionally, we describe... Читать дальше...

T-even bacteriophages are known to employ lysis inhibition (LIN), where the lysis of an infected host is delayed in response to secondary adsorptions. Upon the eventual burst of the host, significantly more phage progenies are released. Here, we analysed the competitive advantage of LIN using a mathematical model. In batch culture, LIN provides a bigger phage yield at the end of the growth where all the hosts are infected due to an exceeding number of phage particles and... Читать дальше...

The Robinson R44 is a four-seat light helicopter that has been produced by the Robinson Helicopter Company since 1992. The R44 has been the world’s best-selling general aviation (GA) helicopter every year since 1999. First flown in March 1990, more than 6,300 have been delivered. In 1997, a Robinson R44 was used for the first helicopter circumnavigation of the world by a woman, covering a distance of 36,000 miles in 97 days. In 2020, Miami-based pilot... Читать дальше...

The benefits of drinking water are many: It’s vital for almost every function in the body. Читать дальше...
Municipalities and districts are struggling to balance supporting RV dwellers who might otherwise end up living on the street with safety and other concerns, including province-wide building codes that restrict the use of RVs as a full-time residence.
