Sleep Improvement for Metabolic Health: A Feasibility Trial of a Digital Sleep Treatment in People With Insomnia and Non‐Diabetic Hyperglycaemia

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insomnia may play a causal role in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Addressing insomnia through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBTi) in people with non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia could potentially reduce the risk of progression to T2D. To inform a future randomised trial, we performed a feasibility study of digital CBT (dCBTi) in individuals at increased ...

Use of the method of measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence to determine the phytotoxicity of mesotrione in poppy (Papaver somniferum) in relation to application factors

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2010
The aim of the research work was to evaluate phytotoxicity of mesotrione in poppy (Papaver somniferum). The amount of spraying water (150, 300 and 450 l per hectare) was compared as well. In the end, the different growth stimulators (Atonik – 0.6 l .

Determination of fatty acid, tocopherol and phytosterol contents of the oils of various poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) seeds.

Grasas y Aceites, 2009
The fatty acid, tocopherol and sterol contents of the oils of several poppy seeds were investigated. The main fatty acids in poppy seed oils were linoleic (687.6-739.2 g kg-1), oleic (141.3-192.8 g kg-1) and palmitic (76.8-92.8 g kg-1).

Engineered Production of Hydroxycinnamoyl Tyramine Conjugates Limits the Growth of the Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.

The Gradability of ‘Conscious’

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are some creatures “more conscious” than others? A number of consciousness researchers have aimed to answer this question. Yet some have claimed that this question does not even make sense. They claim that “conscious” (in the phenomenal sense) never occurs as a gradable adjective, meaning an adjective that permits degree expressions (“more f ...
