Do not resonate with actions: sentence polarity modulates cortico-spinal excitability during action-related sentence reading.

BACKGROUND: Theories of embodied language suggest that the motor system is differentially called into action when processing motor-related versus abstract content words or sentences.It has been recently shown that processing negative polarity action-related sentences modulates neural activity of premotor and motor cortices.METHODS AND FINDINGS: We

Influence of Partial Load on Running Safety of Heavy Haul Train

Based on the static analysis, Horns and Blowers dynamic model of C80 heavy haul train was built to investigate the influence of partial load on running safety of heavy haul train.Under the different partial load condition, the derailment coefficient and the wheel load reduction rate were calculated when the train passed the curve.The analysis resul

Next-Generation Sequencing for Whole-Genome Characterization of Weissella cibaria UTNGt21O Strain Originated From Wild Solanum quitoense Lam. Fruits: An Atlas of Metabolites With Biotechnological Significance

The whole genome of Weissella cibaria strain UTNGt21O isolated from wild fruits of Solanum quitoense (naranjilla) shrub was sequenced and annotated.The similarity proportions based on the genus level, as a result of the best hits for the entire contig, were 54.84% with Weissella, 6.45% with Leuconostoc, 3.23% with Lactococcus, and 35.48% no match.T
