In this study, we examine how lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth, who tend to experience greater feelings of isolation and discrimination than heterosexual youth, find and become integrated into supportive activities and resources.As part of a larger study on supportive lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth
The stepped isostress method (SSM) is an advanced technique which allows the prediction of the long-term behavior and enables the construction of creep master curves of materials with short-term experimental tests.However, the performance of this method is highly dependent on the numerical model and the time spent in data processing.In this paper,
Land surface albedo (LSA) is one of the driving factors in the energy balance of surface radiation and the interaction between the earth and atmosphere.LSA is an important parameter that is widely used in surface energy balance, medium- and long-term weather forecasting, and global change studies.GF-1 wide field view (WFV) data provide a spatial re
In most animals that have X and Y sex chromosomes, chromosome-wide mechanisms are used to balance X-linked gene expression in males hand pulse set and females.In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage compensation mechanism also generally extends to X-linked transgenes.Over 70 transgenic lines of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina ha
Staphylococcus aureus encodes a remarkable number of virulence factors which may contribute to its pathogenicity and ability to cause invasive disease.The main objective of this study was to evaluate the association between S.aureus invasiveness and bacterial genotype, in terms of the presence of virulence genes and affiliation to clonal complexes.
