Published: June 2003

The hemispheric encoding/retrieval asymmetry (HERA) model is a process-specific description of experimental data provided by a large set of functional neuroimaging studies. According to HERA, left prefrontal cortex (PFC) is more involved than right PFC in episodic memory encoding, whereas right PFC is more involved than left PFC in episodic memory retrieval. Recently it has been claimed that this description does not hold for non-verbal materials. Here we propose a more precise formulation of HERA than previously, and argue that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that HERA, as reformulated, is true for both verbal and non-verbal materials.

Aim: Development of body mass index (BMI) trajectories is essential for understanding childhood overweight, a public health concern. This study aimed to identify BMI trajectories from birth to adolescence and examine associated factors in the Pollution and Asthma Risk: an Infant Study (PARIS) birth cohort.

Methods: Data on height, weight, birth parameters, lifestyle, parental weight status and stress were collected via questionnaires and health check-ups.

Background: Interest has grown recently in childhood diet's role in allergy development. However, the studies focusing on organic food consumption are scarce. We address the relationships between such consumption and respiratory/allergic morbidity at school age in the PARIS (Pollution and asthma risk: An infant study) cohort.

Hadron-ion collisions in Pythia and the vector-meson dominance model for photoproduction.

Eur Phys J C Part Fields

November 2024

Department of Physics, University of Jyvaskyla, P.O. Box 35, Fl-40014 Jyvaskyla, Finland.

Article Synopsis
  • The extension of the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator allows for detailed simulations of collisions between a hadron beam and nuclear targets, with energy variations for each event.
  • The work builds on existing models like Angantyr for heavy ions and includes a vector-meson dominance (VMD) model for simulating real photon interactions in photo-nuclear collisions.
  • Validation with HERA data shows the model's effectiveness, and the generated events for ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC align with ATLAS measurements, demonstrating consistency in single-particle multiplicity and azimuthal anisotropy patterns.

Background: The impact of hospital accreditation on the organizational safety culture among healthcare workers, an essential indicator of patient safety, has yet to be directly quantified in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system. This study aims to investigate this impact to sustain and maintain a positive safety culture in Saudi Arabia's healthcare institutions.

Methods: A cross-sectional assessment was conducted in five public hospitals in Makkah.

Mechanistic basis for the allosteric activation of NADase activity in the Sir2-HerA antiphage defense system.

Article Synopsis
  • Sir2-HerA is an antiphage system found in some bacteria, composed of an ATPase (HerA) and an effector (Sir2) that may have NADase activity.
  • The mechanism of how Sir2-HerA defends against phage infections involves Sir2-dependent NAD depletion, which halts the growth of infected cells, but specifics were unclear until this study.
  • Researchers discovered that SaHerA activates SaSir2’s NADase function through allosteric effects, leading to the formation of a complex that allows NAD to be cleaved by uncovering its active site.
