This study examined the impact of different parenting styles on the academic achievement of Nigerian students, filling a notable void in current research that primarily concentrates on Western settings.Data was obtained from secondary school students across various Nigerian states, representing diverse cultural, economic, and geographical origins,
Periodic expression of Per1 gene is restored in chipmunk liver during interbout arousal in mammalian hibernation
Abstract Circadian rhythms play an important role in many physiological processes.We have previously reported that no periodic fluctuation in the Bmal1 mRNA is observed in the liver of the chipmunk, a mammalian hibernator, in the hibernation season, suggesting that peripheral circadian clocks are not functional during hibernation.In contrast, the P
Zika virus: mapping and reprogramming the entry
Abstract Background The flaviviridae family comprises single-stranded RNA viruses that enter cells via clathrin-mediated pH-dependent endocytosis.Although the initial events of the virus entry have been already identified, data regarding intracellular virus trafficking and delivery to the replication site are limited.The purpose of this study was t
Photocatalytic Performance Improvement by Doping Ag on ZnO/MWCNTs Nanocomposite Prepared with Pulsed Laser Ablation Method Based Photocatalysts Degrading Rhodamine B Organic Pollutant Dye
ZnO/MWCNTs nanocomposite has significant potential in photocatalytic and environmental treatment.Unfortunately, its photocatalytic efficacy is not high enough due to its poor light absorbance and quick recombination of photo-generated carriers, which might be improved by incorporation with noble metal nanoparticles.Herein, Ag-doped ZnO/MWCNTs nanoc
Secure quantum key distribution with a subset of malicious devices
Abstract The malicious manipulation of quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware is a serious threat to its security, as, typically, neither end users nor QKD rubbermaid 8 gallon trash can manufacturers can validate the integrity of every component of their QKD system in practice.One possible approach to re-establish the security of QKD is to use a r
