The target of rapamycin (TOR) is a central hub kinase that promotes growth and development in all eukaryote cells.TOR induces protein synthesis through the phosphorylation of the S6 kinase (S6K), which, in turn, phosphorylates ribosomal S6 protein (RPS6) increasing this anabolic process.Therefore, S6K and RPS6 phosphorylation are generally used as
Intensification of the water cycle mediated by global warming increases the risk of hydrological disasters by modifying precipitation patterns across the globe which leads to adverse socio-economic impacts, especially in developing countries.Socio-hydrological spaces in the vicinity of major river systems are prone to the devastating effects of hyd

The paper analyzes media word creation in the context of its risk potential.On the basis of the modern socio-political press materials the author shows that unmotivated use of expressive neologisms can negatively affect the communication process and reduce its effectiveness: word-building neologisms can complicate the perception of a sour patch gre
Timing reproduction to coincide with optimal environmental conditions is key for many organisms living in seasonal habitats.Advance in the onset of spring is a particular challenge to migratory birds that must time their arrival without knowing the conditions on the breeding grounds.This is amplified at high elevations where resource availability,
