How are allotment gardens managed? A comparative study of usage and development in contemporary urban space in Germany and Poland

This article aims to analyse the development and use of allotment gardens (AGs) and plots in Westphalia and Lippe (Germany) and Wielkopolska (Poland) to assess what functions are feasible in their current stage, thus, contributing to an ongoing discussion on Novelties the role of AGs in contemporary urban space.The analysis considered ecosystem ser

Linear to Non-linear Rheology of Wheat Flour Dough

We provide an overview of transient extensional rheometry techniques for wheat flour doughs in which the deformation and material response is well defined.The behavior of a range of model doughs was explored with a Filament Stretching Extensional Rheometer (FISER).The measurements were also compared to data obtained with a new SHOVEL wind- up exten

Non-invasive Detection of Exosomal MicroRNAs via Tethered Cationic Lipoplex Nanoparticles (tCLN) Biochip for Lung Cancer Early Detection

Circulating microRNAs carried by exosomes have emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for cancer because of their abundant amount and remarkable stability in body fluids.Exosomal microRNAs in blood are typically quantified using the RNA isolation-qRT-PCR workflow, which cannot distinguish circulating microRNAs SHOVEL secreted by cancer cells fr

No change in electrocortical measures of performance monitoring in high trait anxious individuals following multi-session attention bias modification training

Heightened attentional bias to threat and enhanced performance monitoring have been linked to higher levels of anxiety.Attentional bias modification (ABM) was developed to reduce attentional bias to threat and thus reduce anxiety.Previous studies have shown that ABM can change the activity in brain regions that are involved in cognitive control and
