Cell stress response impairs de novo NAD plus biosynthesis in the kidney
...
The biosynthetic routes leading to de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) production are involved in acute kidney injury (AKI), with a critical role for quinolinate phosphoribosyl transferase (QPRT), a bottleneck enzyme of de novo NAD+ biosynthesis. The molecular mechanisms determining reduced QPRT in AKI, and the role of impaired NAD+ bi...
Effects of shrimp-fish polyculture on immune parameters, disease resistance of white shrimp and the prevalence of Vibrio...
We pre-grew shrimp under polyculture (shrimp-tilapia 'ST' and shrimp-mullet 'SM') and monoculture (P-control) conditions until they reached the size of 10-12 g. Then, the shrimps were collected and injected with Vibrio alginolyticus (2.1 x 10(5) CFU shrimp(-1)). Some shrimp, originating from the shrimp monoculture, was also injected with sterile sa...
Organisational readiness to participate in a labelled product service cluster : a structural equation model analysis
In the present competitive environment, organisations must inevitably progress to gain and maintain a long-term competitive advantage. Hence, organisations must embrace organisational readiness for change (ORC), which denotes the level of preparedness of an organisation to adopt a change through deploying new management strategies and new projects....
Gender effects in influencer marketing : an experimental study on the efficacy of endorsements by same- vs. other-gender...
Women largely dominate the influencer business, and previous studies often either have focused on female social media influencers, or else matched the influencer's gender with the participant's gender in experimental research, as it is assumed that same-gender endorsements may increase persuasion. However, no empirical research is available yet tha...
Microfluidic-based oxygen (O2) sensors for on-chip monitoring of cell, tissue and organ metabolism
Oxygen (O-2) quantification is essential for assessing cell metabolism, and its consumption in cell culture is an important indicator of cell viability. Recent advances in microfluidics have made O-2 sensing a crucial feature for organ-on-chip (OOC) devices for various biomedical applications. OOC O-2 sensors can be categorized, based on their tran...
Predictors of safety behaviors among cement factory workers
Objectives. Risk perception can affect safety behaviors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between safety behaviors and risk perception among cement factory workers. Methods. The study was conducted on all 236 workers of a cement factory in Bijar, Iran. Three valid questionnaires were used: a sociodemographic and job-relat...
The metapragmatics of legal advice communication in the field of immigration law
Metapragmatic comments are crucial in lawyers’ attempts at managing legal advice communication with asylum seekers. Drawing on linguistic-ethnographic fieldwork in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, this paper aims to demonstrate how/when/why textual features which tell interactants how to interpret the ongoing speech are used in the context of la...
Pre-incubation conditions determine the fermentation pattern and microbial community structure in fermenters at mild hyd...
Fermentation at elevated hydrostatic pressure is a novel strategy targeting product selectivity. However, the role of inoculum history and cross-resistance, that is, acquired tolerance from incubation under distinctive environmental stress, remains unclear in high-pressure operation. In our here presented work, we studied fermentation and microbial...
