Biophysical Determinants and Constraints on Sperm Swimming Velocity

Cells, 2022
Over the last 50 years, sperm competition has become increasingly recognised as a potent evolutionary force shaping male ejaculate traits. One such trait is sperm swimming speed, with faster sperm associated with increased fertilisation success in some ...

Banking in Africa [PDF]

, 2013
AbstractThis chapter takes stock of the current state of banking systems across sub-Saharan Africa and discusses recent developments including innovations that could help Africa leapfrog more traditional banking models. Using an array of different data, the chapter documents that African banking systems are shallow but stable.

Are Drosophila preferences for yeasts stable or contextual?

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Whether there are general mechanisms, driving interspecific chemical communication is uncertain. Saccharomycetaceae yeast and Drosophila fruit flies, both extensively studied research models, share the same fruit habitat, and it has been suggested their ...

Blocking Connexin-43 mediated hemichannel activity protects against early tubular injury in experimental chronic kidney disease

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2020
Background Tubulointerstitial fibrosis represents the key underlying pathology of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), yet treatment options remain limited. In this study, we investigated the role of connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannel-mediated adenosine triphosphate

Production and Analysis of Recycled Ammonium Perrhenate from CMSX-4 superalloys

Open Chemistry, 2018
The process to extract rhenium from a superalloy is an immense technical challenge due the complex chemistry involved. Being one of the rarest elements in the earth’s crust the scarcity and cost of rhenium makes it advantageous to recover the element ...

Update on the Pyramid Scheme

, 2012
We summarize recent work in which we attempt to make a consistent model of LHC physics, from the Pyramid Scheme. The models share much with the NMSSM, in particular, enhanced tree level contributions to the Higgs mass and a preference for small tan ...
