Diapause is an adaptive response triggered by seasonal photoperiodicity to overcome unfavorable seasons.The photoperiodic clock is a system that controls seasonal physiological processes, but our knowledge about its physiological mechanisms and genetic architecture remains incomplete.The circadian clock is another system that controls daily rhythmi
In many mammalian species, females live on average longer than males.In humans, women have consistently longer telomeres than men, and this has led to speculation that sex differences in telomere length (TL) could play a role in sex differences in longevity.To address the generality and drivers of Multiplexer patterns of sex differences in TL acros
The many practical economic and political difficulties encountered in discretionary fiscal stabilisation policy highlight the potential benefits of allowing automatic fiscal stabilisers to operate over the cycle.This article investigates the relevance of tax revenue as an automatic fiscal stabiliser in the South African economy by an empirical anal
The bridge horizontal swivel system generally adopts a symmetrical structure and uses a spherical hinge structure that can adjust the rotation to complete rotation construction.Because of the complexity of railway lines under bridges, some asymmetrical horizontal swivel systems have been increasingly applied in practical engineering in recent years
