This study examines the influence of socioeconomic circumstances in childhood (childhood SES) and adulthood (adult SES) on timing of first birth by age 37.A longitudinal study of a 1972-1973 New Zealand birth cohort collected information on socioeconomic characteristics from age 3-32 and reproductive histories at 21, 26, 32 and 38; information on f
Acinetobacter baumannii Genes Required for Bacterial Survival during Bloodstream Infection
ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a leading global multiple-antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogen.The identity of genes essential for pathogenesis in a mammalian host remains largely unknown.Using transposon-directed insertion-site sequencing (TraDIS), we identified A.baumannii genes involved in bacterial survival in a leukopenic m
Comprehensive analysis of the Xya riparia genome uncovers the dominance of DNA transposons, LTR/Gypsy elements, and their evolutionary dynamics
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can move or replicate within a genome, and their study has become increasingly important in understanding genome evolution and function.The Tridactylidae family, including Xya riparia (pygmy mole cricket), harbors a variety of transposable elements (TEs) that have been insufficiently inves
Investigation of the Distribution of Cumulative Ductility Demand Parameter in Various Stories of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames
Attributable to the fact that the buckling-restrained brace core yields both in tension and compression, it can absorb energy and exhibit high ductility rendering it proper in order to tolerate earthquick loads.One of the vital objectives of seismic standards is providing the shamrock belt buckle appropriate ductility for the structures, because th
