Debate: Forced Labour, Slavery and Human Trafficking: When do definitions matter?

open access: yesAnti-Trafficking Review, 2015
We can spend a lot of time debating the connections or essential differences between the concepts of trafficking, forced labour, slavery and modern slavery, or slavery-like practices.

A role for K2P channels in the operation of somatosensory nociceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012
The ability to sense mechanical, thermal and chemical stimuli is critical to normal physiology and the perception of pain. Contact with noxious stimuli triggers a complex series of events that initiate innate protective mechanisms designed to minimize or

tRNA-derived small RNAs in plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) represent a novel category of small non-coding RNAs and serve as a new regulator of gene expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Growing evidence indicates that tsRNAs can be induced by diverse

ϱ → 4π in chirally symmetric models [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The decays rho0 → 2π+2π− and rho0 → 2π0π+π− are studied using various effective Lagrangians for π and rho (and in some case a1) mesons, all of which respect the approximate chiral symmetry of the strong interaction.

Environmental chemical exposures and breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
As a hormone-sensitive condition with no single identifiable cause, breast cancer is a major health problem. It is characterized by a wide range of contributing factors and exposures occurring in different combinations and strengths across a lifetime ...

Ubiquitination in Plant Meiosis: Recent Advances and High Throughput Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Meiosis is a specialized cell division which is essential to sexual reproduction. The success of this highly ordered process involves the timely activation, interaction, movement, and removal of many proteins. Ubiquitination is an extraordinarily diverse

Effect of four plant species on soil 15N-access and herbage yield in temporary agricultural grasslands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Positive plant diversity-productivity relationships have been reported for experimental semi-natural grasslands (Cardinale et al. 2006; Hector et al. 1999; Tilman et al. 1996) as well as temporary agricultural grasslands (Frankow-Lindberg et al.

Transfer Matrix Analysis of the Unidirectional Grating-Assisted Codirectional Coupler [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The unidirectional grating-assisted codirectional coupler (U-GACC) has recently been proposed. This unique structure permits irreversible coupling between orthogonal waveguide eigenmodes by means of simultaneous modulation of both the real and imaginary ...

The neurobiological mechanism underlying hypothalamic GnRH pulse generation: the role of kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
This review recounts the origins and development of the concept of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator. It starts in the late 1960s when striking rhythmic episodes of luteinizing hormone secretion, as reflected by ...

Plant Evolution: Assembling Land Plants [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2020
Traditional evolutionary scenarios posit that land plants emerged from land plant-like relatives, the charophytes. New phylogenies suggest a closer affinity to simpler pond scum relatives, and evidence the gradual assembly of the land plant genome, revealing a phenotypic simplification from the complex ancestors envisaged by traditional scenarios.
