We examined whether a variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the circadian clock gene PER3 was associated with subjective ratings of sleep and diurnal preference in a Romanian population with high levels of self-reported sleep problems. Individuals, self-reporting to their GP for sleep disturbances, completed a battery of validated scales that assess the presence of insomnia, sleep quality and diurnal preference and had their PER3 VNTR
Read moreFew climatic parameters available for the stratigraphic interval between Aquitanian – Pontian from Romania, have been obtained after analysis of the palynological associations using the Coexistence Approach. The results obtained for MAT (mean annual temperature), MAP (mean annual precipitations), WMT (mean temperature of the warmest month), CMT (mean temperature of the coldest month), have been synthesised and palaeoclimatic diagrams have been
Read moreThe southern part of the Moldavian Platform has developed under complex conditions, partially similar with the northern part, in a marine environment corresponding to the last stage of evolution of the Eastern Carpathians foreland basin with an obvious tectonic control. In Stăniţa-Vlădnicele borehole were identified microfauna taxa such as: Cycloforina karreri, Elphidium macellum, E. minutum, E. punctatum, E. crispum, E. aculeatum, E. reginum
Read moreThis paper describes and interpretes a Sarmatian palaeoflora identified within Şupanu Formation. This formation was intercepted in 2 outcrops: one located in Asău cuvette and the other one in Lăloaia-Galeon cuvette. Based on palaeofloristic investigations a palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatical reconstruction was accomplished. In the Sarmatian, Comăneşti Basin recorded an abundant plants biomass development, in a swamp environment, allowing
Read moreTypes I and III interferons (IFNs) elicit protective antiviral immune responses during influenza virus infection. Although many cell types can synthesize IFN in response to virus infection, it remains unclear which IFN sources contribute to antiviral protection in vivo. We found that mice carrying functional alleles of the Mx1 influenza virus resistance gene partially lost resistance to infection with a highly pathogenic H7N7 influenza A virus strain
