To probe the theory, researchers at Bard College, New York, the UK's Medical Research Council and the University of Cambridge subjected 381 healthy participants to a series of memory tests.
Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, Johnson and Robin Dunbar, professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, sought to probe the theory that the brain's endorphin system might have evolved to not only handle our response to physical discomfort, but influence our experience of pleasure from social interactions too.
The second stage consisted of probing the theories of canonical philosophers in order to uncover the gender bias lurking in their supposedly universal theories.
The results show that only the tat siRNA guide derived from the shRNA tat or lhRNA tat-rev-vif could be detected by both probes, which supports the theory that there is a considerable drop in siRNA concentration as Dicer processes along the lhRNA duplex.
The main difference between the new scheme and the conventional one is that the former uses the exact mathematical solution to the thermal model on which the needle probe measurement theory is based, while the latter uses an approximate solution that is valid only for large times.
It is shown that using the ensemble of Fe3O4 carriers as a superparamagnetic probe, the Langevin's paramagnetism theory, and the values of density of nanocomposite constituents, one can evaluate the size parameters of their shell, which has been corroborated by independent measurements of specific surface area of nanostructures and kinetic stability of the corresponding magnetic liquids.
"Since a neutron star is very compact, it offers us a nice test-bed to probe gravitational theory in the strong-field regime," Yagi told SPACE.com via email.
Dr. H. Jeff Kimble, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, said that Dr. Mandel used both experiment and theory to probe the quantum, or particle-like, nature of light.
Not only will you be able to develop your musical skills to a high level, but you may be able to learn about the inner workings of music through music theory, or probe the cultural richness of music in the European tradition or non-western music through music history, musicology and ethnomusicology.
The activation of methanol (CH3OH) via HO and of methyl acetate (CH3COOCH3) via CO and CH bond dissociations, has been studied using periodic density functional theory to probe the effect of small amount of higher basic alkaline earth metals in MgO(100) surface.
On the basis of the theory of measurement with a rotating probe and the fundamental error theory of the acoustic intensity method, it is possible to calculate the theoretical error in the direction of sound energy propagation.
