Having identified spacer lengths between ACGT elements which can up-regulate gene expression in conditions of draught and salt stress, these results suggest improved methods for promoter design and creating hardy plant varieties.
In men, hand-arm vibration (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.2 to 6.4) as well as working under wet/cold conditions and/or draught (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.8) were associated with knee OA, but not in women.
The study area cover regions of poor socio-economic conditions, low rainfall, draught affected poor drainage density, meager agricultural outputs, and largely unexplored natural resources.
When adopted, these methodologies could significantly assist in optimising the implement designs and operational conditions aiming at minimum draught requirement and best soil manipulation performance.
Using this model, a mouldboard plough requiring the least specific draught was designed for given soil conditions (specific weight of soil, cohesion, soil metal adhesion, soil metal frictional angle and soil internal frictional angle) and operating conditions (speed and depth of cut) for a given power availability.
This is not clear-cut evidence that the ships were designed for the Baltic: it was considered that earlier ships had too much draught and not enough freeboard under operational conditions.
Transcript and protein levels of plant TCTPs were shown to be altered by various stress conditions (e.g. cold, salt, draught, aluminium, and pathogen infection), and Arabidopsis thaliana TCTP (AtTCTP) was described as an important regulator of growth.
The lack of such basic goods may, further, be related to the lack of sufficient or qualitatively good food and poor housing conditions (e.g. cold and draught), factors that more generally have their sources in the material world [ 9].
The numerical study aims to assess the combined effect of relevant design parameters (chamber length, front wall draught, damping applied by the turbine) and of the wave conditions (wave height, wave period and water depth) on the device performance, with reference to its hypothetical installation in moderate wave climates (e.g. in the Central Mediterranean Sea).
