Divergent thinking and hemisphericity
This study investigated the relationship between divergent thinking, assessed by the Product Improvement and Unusual Uses tests of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (1974), and hemisphericity. Hemisphericity, cerebral hemispheric dominance for language function, was assessed by a dichotic …

Fast Backprojection Algorithms for Divergent Beam Tomography
… use of hierarchical backprojection algorithms in divergent beam tomography is found to have good image quality while providing a speedup of 10--80 times over the conventional backprojection algorithm. These fast algorithms will be important when moving to higher resolution images or utilizing …

Biochemical Analysis of Evolutionary Divergent Vertebrate Larp6 Proteins
The La-related proteins (LARPs) contain a conserved bipartite RNA binding domain, called the La module, which consists of the La motif and an RNA recognition motif (RRM). Across the LARP subfamilies, the La module interacts with a variety of RNAs, allowing this protein superfamily to perform roles …

Divergent Discourses: Development Knowledge and Malian Family Planning
<p>I propose that in order to approach corrective recommendations for family planning initiatives an examination of initiative fitness is necessary. Using a Foucauldian approach, this analysis identifies the discursive formations (ideologies) at work in centralized family planning in order to …

Early divergent B cell differentiation during antibody responses
… antigen is analyzed, probing the mechanisms of divergent differentiation into plasmablasts or germinal centre (GC) B cells. Heterozygous QMxB6 mice, in which 5% of B cells are specific for the hapten 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenol (NP), were immunized with NP-Ficoll. Varying the antigen dose altered …

The regulation of premature termination at divergent promoters
… are being expressed. Promoters transcribe divergently, producing low-abundant upstream antisense RNAs (uaRNAs) in addition to a stable downstream RNAs. Thus, a central question is what mechanisms are sense RNAs more stable compared to most transcription events. It is proposed that an …

Pride and Status: Unpacking Two Divergent Pathways to Cooperation
Cooperation is essential for addressing social dilemma problems, especially in modern society with rapidly growing human populations and changing ecology. The scientific community and policymakers have recognized the potential of emotions to facilitate effective communication of sustainability and …

IAP antagonist Grim mediates cell death through divergent pathways
… IAP antagonist, Grim, induces cell death through divergent mechanisms: an IBM-dependent pathway, requiring a crosstalk with Drosophila IAP1 (DIAP1), and an IBM-independent manner, involving Grim’s C-terminus for translational repression. We discovered that Grim is a target for caspase-mediated …

Leadership traits, divergent thinking, and innovation in higher education
… institutional environment, leader’s traits, and divergent thinking to provide insight into the characteristics that drive innovation in the academic setting. The research involved a large-scale national study of college and university leaders and focused on leadership traits, divergent thinking, …

Divergent Selection for Water Conversion Ratio in Broiler Populations
… low flow water monitoring system, it was used to divergently select for water efficiency in broilers. This was done too not only to help determine heritability of water efficiency but to assess the direct response to selection and impact on correlated traits. From a modern random bred population, …

Cellular Morphodynamics Reveals Divergent Mechanisms of Gastrulation in Insects
… insights to our understanding of conserved and divergent mechanisms underlying tissue internalisation. While apical constriction appears to orchestrate collective cell invagination via tissue folding in both insects, in Tribolium cells can individually ingress via out of plane mitosis and …

A novel CRISPR-Cas9 platform with divergent targeting capabilities
… motif insertions. To this end, we report a divergent affinity to 5'-NNGT-3' PAM sequences, as well as preferences for expanded 5'-NNG- 3' motifs, and demonstrate the editing capabilities of the ortholog in both bacterial and human cells. We subsequently build an automated bioinformatics …

Fully kinetic modeling of a divergent cusped-field thruster
… the performance and plasma dynamics of a divergent cusped-field thruster is discussed. Strong magnetic fields in the cusps (B0.5 T) necessitate using a time step on the order of a picosecond in order to resolve electron cyclotron trajectories. As a result, successfully completing a …

Systematically examining the effectiveness of creativity interventions on divergent thinking
… (p < 0.05), and neither age/education nor the divergent thinking subcomponent (e.g., fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration) affected the effectiveness of the intervention. Finally, this work identified multiple gaps within reporting techniques in the field while offering insight into …

Investigation of Divergent Metabolic Programs in the Tumor-Immune Microenvironment
… CD8+ T-cells revealed that lactate initiates a divergent metabolic reprogramming in the two cell types. Systemic lactate treatment suppressed tumor glycolytic activities while boosting CD8+ T-cell glycolytic rate and effector function. Such divergent changes in two cell types provide a basis for …
