Abstract Background Bivalent chromatin domains consisting of the activating histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and repressive histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) histone modifications are enriched at developmental genes that are repressed in embryonic stem cells but active during differentiation.However, it is unknown whether ano
Background Colorectal cancer screening reduces colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality.Identifying the factors associated with screening participation is needed to overcome barriers to screening.While several of those factors have been identified, the impact of mental and physical health on screening behaviour is not well understood.Methods This
The diffusive back-and-forth nudging (DBFN) is an easy-to-implement iterative data assimilation method based on the well-known nudging method.It consists of a sequence of forward and backward model integrations, within a given time window, both of them using a feedback term to the observations.Therefore, in the DBFN, the nudging asymptotic behaviou
Through experiments and theoretical analysis, we investigated the similarity of gas discharge in low-pressure Argon gaps between two plane-parallel electrodes.We found that the breakdown voltages depended not only on gap length and the product of gas pressure and gap length but also on the aspect ratio of the gap, i.e.Ub = f (pd, d/r).When we consi
The aim of the investigations presented here was to understand how the stiffness of the adhesive affects the failure of ceramic tiles adhered to metallic backings.The working hypothesis was that varying the adhesive stiffness could Collections have the same effect on the ballistic performance as a variation of the adhesive thickness.Two different p
