The aim of this article is to present some insights and reflections as a result of the application of the MIPVU procedure for metaphor identification in Lithuanian and discuss several methodological issues.Firstly, the paper presents the background to the methodology and illustrates its application to Lithuanian.Secondly, the sour patch green apple

Inactivation of the Arf-Mdm2-p53 tumor suppressor pathway is a necessary event for tumorigenesis.Arf controls Mdm2, which in turn regulates p53, but Arf and Mdm2 also have p53-independent functions that affect tumor development.Moreover, inhibition of oncogene-induced tumorigenesis relies on Arf and p53, but the requirements of Arf and p53 in tumor

The main problem of cocoa seed travc storage is moisture content of the seeds because cocoa seeds will germinate if cocoa seeds moisture content is high.The objective of this research is to maintain the cocoa seeds viability in storage using acrylic acid sodium acrylate polymer (AASAP).The function of AASAP is to absorb humidity in storage due to t

A commonly held view in evolutionary biology is that speciation (the emergence of genetically distinct and reproductively incompatible subpopulations) is driven by external environmental constraints, such as localized barriers to dispersal or habitat-based variation in selection pressures.We have developed a spatially explicit model of a biological

In this usc gamecocks online Perspective article, we evaluate the current state of research on the use of focused electron and ion beams to directly fabricate nanoscale superconducting devices with application in quantum technologies.First, the article introduces the main superconducting devices and their fabrication by means of standard lithograph
