We found that the MMSE had multiple cognitive areas. We showed that the MMSE could be used as an essentially unidimensional measure of cognitive ability and the question about orientation to time might be useful in the simplest assessment to identify cognitive dysfunction.
Abstract. Photosymbiosis has played a key role in the
diversification of foraminifera and their carbonate production throughout
geologic history. However, identification of photosymbiosis in extinct taxa
remains challenging, and even among the extant species the occurrence and
functional relevance of photosymbiosis remain poorly constrained. Here, we
investigate photosymbiosis in living planktonic foraminifera by measuring
active chlorophyll fluorescence with fast repetition rate fluorometry. This
method provides unequivocal evidence for the presence of photosynthetic
capacity in individual foraminifera, and it allows us to characterize
multiple features of symbiont photosynthesis including chlorophyll a (Chl a) content, potential photosynthetic activity (Fv∕Fm), and light-absorption efficiency (σPSII). To obtain robust evidence for
the occurrence and importance of photosymbiosis in modern planktonic
foraminifera, we conducted measurements on 1266 individuals from 30 species
of the families Globigerinidae, Hastigerinidae, Globorotaliidae, and
Candeinidae. Among the studied species, 19 were recognized as symbiotic and
11 as non-symbiotic. Of these, six species were newly confirmed as symbiotic
and five as non-symbiotic. Photosymbiotic species have been identified in
all families except the Hastigerinidae. A significant positive correlation
between test size and Chl a content, found in 16 species, is interpreted as
symbiont abundance scaled to the growth of the host and is consistent with
persistent possession of symbionts through the lifetime of the foraminifera.
The remaining three symbiont-bearing species did not show such a
relationship, and their Fv∕Fm values were comparatively low,
indicating that their symbionts do not grow once acquired from the
environment. The objectively quantified photosymbiotic characteristics have
been used to design a metric of photosymbiosis, which allows the studied
species to be classified along a gradient of photosynthetic activity,
providing a framework for future ecological and physiological investigations
of planktonic foraminifera.
The results to this study demonstrate that daily PA was high among female subjects living in a NE with land use mix-diversity, and who had an awareness of places to walk to and the accessibility to facilities for daily necessities in their neighborhood. For male subjects, daily PA was high among those who perceived the aesthetics of and accessibility to facilities for pleasure in their neighborhood. Further research is needed to determine the association between PA and NE on the basis of sex differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
