(2011-05)We present a detailed study of a bipolar, possible Type I planetary nebula (PN), PHR 1315-6555 (PN G305.3-03.1), which was discovered as part of the Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg H alpha planetary nebula project (MASH), and ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of Pasteuria penetrans by use of multiple genetic loci
(2005-08)Pasteuria penetrans is a gram-positive, endospore-forming eubacterium that apparently is a member of the Bacillus-Clostridium clade. It is an obligate parasite of root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) and preferentially ... -
Phylogenetic relationships among Zygomycetes from soil based on ITS1/2 rDNA sequences
(2006-05)New information was obtained on the phylogeny of Zygomycetes. PCR-RFLP analysis showed ITS1/2 rDNA to provide appropriate markers for genetic studies on Zygomycetes at the population and species levels. The use of several ... -
Phylogenomics and the rise of the angiosperms
(2024-04-24)Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods1,2. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm tree ... -
Physical Activity and Exercise Addiction During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Italy
(2022-04-20)Severe restrictive measures were implemented globally to limit the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic leading to significant lifestyle changes and impacting on both the physical and the mental health of citizens. Caught by ... -
Physical activity and hypertension in South African adults
(2014)Estimates suggest that approximately 6-million South Africans have hypertension, with half classified as stage 1 (mild). Mindful of the cost of lifelong drug therapy, the South African Hypertension Society guidelines suggest ... -
Physical activity and mental health in a student population
(2010-12)Aims: The present study investigates the association between physical activity and mental health in an undergraduate university population based in the United Kingdom. Method: One hundred students completed questionnaires ... -

Physical activity and sitting time changes in response to the COVID-19 lockdown in England
(2022-07-21)To reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), national governments implemented measures to limit contact between citizens. This study evaluated changes in physical activity and sitting in response ... -
Physical activity attenuates the effect of the FTO genotype on obesity traits in European adults : The Food4Me study
(2016-04-24)OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the effect of FTO loci on obesity-related traits could be modified by physical activity (PA) levels in European adults. METHODS: Of 1,607 Food4Me participants randomized, 1,280 were genotyped ... -
Physical Activity in Adults with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: A Large Cross-Sectional Survey Exploring Patterns, Preferences, Barriers, and Motivating Factors
(2023-01-31)Adults with severe mental ill health may have specific attitudes toward physical activity. To inform intervention development, we conducted a survey to assess the physical activity patterns, preferences, barriers, and ... -
Physical Activity Inclusion in Dementia-Friendly Communities: A Mixed Methods Study
(2024-01-27)Dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) are a policy-endorsed approach to community engagement in England that promotes social inclusion to enable people affected by dementia to live well. Research suggests that physical ... -
