Functional genomics of plant compensatory responses
… on understanding the molecular basis of plant compensatory responses using suite of quantitative and molecular techniques. As a first step, QTL mapping was combined with results from a microarray analysis to identify potential candidate genes viz., G6PDH1 and invertase. These genes were then …

Picture this: Smoking cues as conditional elicitors of compensatory responses in smokers
… to extend previous research on conditional compensatory responses and illicit drugs to smoking and respondent conditioning by exposing ten adult smokers and nonsmokers to smoking and non-smoking related imagery. Pre- and post-slide show carbon monoxide (CO) levels were taken as the main …

Examination of potential elicitors of operant and respondent behaviors in smokers
… that function as elicitors of physiological responses related to smoking. Basic research suggests that compensatory responses may play a role in drug tolerance and relapse. In one preliminary study assessing the role of compensatory responses to smoking stimuli (Machado, 2011), drops in …

The effect of working memory training on executive function in reduced-obese women: implications for long-term weight loss maintenance (the mind the gap 2 study)
… results in various physiological and behavioural compensatory changes which increase susceptibility to weight regain, resulting in unsuccessful weight-loss maintenance in the long term. Evidence suggests that working memory (WM) plays a key role in self-regulation and executive control, which is …

Multivariate analysis of transcriptional changes following restoration of SERCA2a levels in failing rat hearts
… at the transcriptional level, and the pathologic compensatory responses that occur in heart failure. The combinatorial control of gene expression that is thought to occur in mammals was implemented in a signal-processing model at the level of the heart cell nucleus; it identified 473 SERCA2a …

Comparison of Adrenal Steroid Synthesis and Secretion in a Hibernating and Non-Hibernating Mammal (Citellus Tridecemlineatus)
Compensatory responses to homeothermlc challenges are characteristic of all adult mammalian species (Hart, 1964; Irving, 1964; Brengelmann and Brown, 1965). Indeed, even unicellular and poïkilothermie metazoan animals are capable of altering their thermal range through enzymatic adaptations (see …

Effects of Aerobic Capacity Phenotype on Adaptive Responses to Ischemic Stress
… meet energy demands. To maintain functionality, compensatory mechanisms for diminished vascular supply are induced by numerous tissues factors associated with ischemia. Compensatory responses include both remodeling of the vascular network to sustain substrate delivery and adaptive responses …

Spatio-temporal patterns of forest disturbance in western North America: implications for forest resilience
… in western North America. First, I evaluated compensatory responses of forests following severe bark beetle outbreak. I found that compensatory growth responses are strongly shaped by both the characteristics and spatial arrangement of surviving trees, and that increased post-disturbance …

Orientation Preference and Behavioural Thermoregulatory Coordination in Pogona vitticeps.
… possible coordination between thermoregulatory responses. Both adult and two week old neonatal bearded dragons were placed in a thermal gradient and left to thermoregulate behaviourally in order to observe the presence of a thermoregulatory orientation preference. Since a thermal orientation …

Targeting neurodegenerative phenotypes and mitochondrial dysfunction in a Drosophila Melanogaster model of Parkinson’s Disease
… function, indicating the activation of compensatory mechanisms. RNA sequencing discovered the enrichment of several pathways, including innate immune defence pathways and mitochondrial bioenergetics pathways, highlighting genes such as Defensin, Metchnikowin, Attacin-A, mitochondrial …

Regulation of protein metabolism in skeletal muscle of low-birth-weight neonatal pigs
… to LBWT, indicating they may participate in compensatory responses for the reduction in protein synthesis signaling. Expression of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4F complex subunits, eIF4E, eIF4G, and eIF4A was reduced in LBWT compared with NBWT pigs. This would suggest that diminished …

An investigation into the mechanisms, consequences and moderators of intradialytic hypotension in paediatric haemodialysis
… series of events that alters the cardiovascular compensatory responses to haemodynamic stresses, however the extent to which these physiological responses are impaired and their consequences are unknown and poorly understood. At first I corroborated adult findings that a poor correlation existed …

Online control of articulation based on auditory feedback in normal Speech and stuttering : behavioral and modeling studies
… (PWS) and normal speakers. The PWS group showed compensatory responses significantly smaller in magnitude and slower in onset compared to the control subjects' responses. This under-compensation to AF perturbation was observed for both quasi-static vowels and multisyllabic speech, and for both …

Aging with Stroke: Using Functional Electrical Stimulation as a Neuromodulatory Intervention Supplement
… adequately address reactive balance, the rapid compensatory responses that are necessary to prevent falls. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a neuromodulatory adjunct that can improve muscular activation and cortical engagement, but its translation into scalable, home- or …

Estrogen Modulation of Cardiac Immune Cells Is Cardioprotective.
… ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation are compensatory responses to this increase in volume. The continued remodeling of the myocardium becomes maladaptive and ultimately leads to the development of heart failure. However in females with the chronic volume overload model of heart failure, …

Influence of leaf traits, hydrodynamics and global change on seagrass-grazer interactions
… approaches, in order to forecast the future responses of this fundamental community in the changing world. This PhD Thesis is structured in 6 chapters to answer particular questions about seagrass-grazer interactions. In the first two chapters, the importance of hydrodynamics in the …

Effects of exercise on hunger, food intake and energy expenditure
… and inactive participants, respectively with no compensatory changes in freeliving energy expenditure (p > 0.05). Similarly, studies two and three demonstrated that an acute bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise does not increase hunger or ad libitum lunch energy intake in active and …

The Role of tRNA methyltransferases in Cancer
… in tRNAs - to cancer cell proliferation, stress responses, and adaptive mechanisms in various cancer types. The role of TRMT1 in colorectal and ovarian cancer models was first investigated. Phenotypic assays revealed that TRMT1 knockout resulted in a proliferation defect in DLD- 1 colorectal …

Changing consumer strength in a changing climate
… is dependent on whether consumer-producer responses are synchronous, with mismatches between interacting pairs producing outcomes not predicted by metabolic theory. Further, moderate increases of temperature and CO₂ lead to reduced herbivore ingestion efficiency, ultimately resulting in …

The Role of BiP Co-chaperone SIL1 in Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome Pathogenesis
