The addition of a 3’ poly(A) tail is a pre-requisite for the maturation of the majority of eukaryotic
transcripts. In most eukaryotic species, RNA poly(A) tails are bound by two important poly(…

Infantile colic is characterised by episodes of uncontrollable crying or fussing in an otherwise
healthy and well-fed infant less than three months of age. The episodes of crying in an …

A new concept of hydrokinetic turbine using oscillating hydrofoils to extract energy from water
currents (tidal or gravitational) is presented and tested in this investigation. This technology …

The pbuE adenine riboswitch undergoes metal ion-dependent folding that involves a loop-loop
interaction. Binding of 2-aminopurine to the aptamer domain strongly correlates with the …

Aerogels are a unique class of ultrafine cell size (<1000 Å), low-density foams. These materials
have continuous porosity and a microstructure composed of interconnected colloidal-like …

Context Contemporary studies have shown that traditional medical school admissions
interviews have strong face validity but provide evidence for only low reliability and validity. As a …

Objective The COVID‐19 pandemic has led to significant public health measures that have
resulted in decreased acute pediatric care utilization. We evaluated whether the rate of …

Many bacterial mRNAs are regulated at the transcriptional or translational level by ligand-binding
elements called riboswitches. Although they both bind adenine, the adenine …
