Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity is reduced in cigarette Balloons Latex smokers and this may promote the reinforcing actions of nicotine, thereby enhancing the addictive properties of cigarettes.At present, it is unclear how cigarette smoking leads to MAO inhibition, but preclinical studies in rodents show that MAO inhibition increases nicotine sel
Salinity is detrimental to soil health, plant growth, and crop productivity.Understanding salt tolerance mechanisms offers the potential to introduce superior crops, especially in coastal regions.Root system architecture (RSA) plasticity is vital for SALT TOOTHPASTE plant salt stress adaptation.Tall fescue is a promising forage grass in saline regi
There have been numerous concerns about the lack of productivity improvement in the New Zealand construction industry.The aim of this paper, therefore, is to determine the main drivers of productivity in the industry.The research used is a two-staged data envelopment analysis approach to achieve the aim.In terms of improvements to the productivity
Vacuolar type rotary H+-ATPases (VoV1) couple ATP synthesis/hydrolysis by V1 with proton translocation by Vo via rotation of a central rotor apparatus composed of the V1-DF rotor shaft, a socket-like Vo-C (eukaryotic Vo-d) and the hydrophobic rotor ring.Reconstitution experiments using subcomplexes revealed a weak binding affinity of V1-DF to Vo-C
