Heat transfer and thermal properties at the nanoscale can be challenging to obtain experimentally. These are potentially relevant for understanding thermoregulation in cells. Experimental data from the transient heating regime in conjunction with a model based on the energy conservation enable th ...

There is a growing interest in the use of post-fermentation mycelial waste to obtain cell wall chitin as an added-value product. In the pursuit to identify suitable production strains that can be used for post-fermentation cell wall harvesting, we turned to an Aspergillus niger strain in which th ...

Phenotypic reaction norms are often shaped and constrained by selection and are important for allowing organisms to respond to environmental change. However, selection cannot constrain reaction norms for environmental conditions that populations have not experienced. This may allow cryptic neutral genetic variation for the reaction norm to accumulate such ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hazardous contaminants existing ubiquitously in polluted soil. In this study, using nanocellulose (CNC) fluid as an eco-friendly agent was proposed for the first time in the remediation of phenanthrene (PHE) contaminated soil. The effects of environmental factors on the mobilization of PHE in soil by CNC nanofluid was ...

BACKGROUND: Data analysis pipelines are known to be affected by computational conditions, presumably owing to the creation and propagation of numerical errors. While this process could play a major role in the current reproducibility crisis, the precise causes of such instabilities and the path along which they propagate in pipelines are unclear. METHOD: ...

Bacillus velezensis EB14, isolated from a leaf of Populus ? jackii, possesses antagonistic activity against Sphaerulina musiva, a fungal pathogen of Populus sp. that causes leaf spots and stem cankers on Poplars limiting the utility of hybrid poplars as plantation trees. We sequenced the genome of B. velezensis EB14 to gain insights into the underlying ba ...

Biomass-derived commodity chemical 5-hydroxymethyl furfural is an underutilized C6-platform chemical derived from cellulose that is ideal to prepare next-generation value-added products. We have developed an efficient synthetic strategy to access 2,5-diaryl nonsymmetric furans from 5-hydroxymethyl furfural utilizing decarboxylative cross-couplings. A key ...

OBJECTIVE: Determining how the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is impacted by living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) can inform psychosocial interventions. The purpose of the present study is to determine if demographic and treatment variables predict membership into empirically derived subgroups of HRQOL among youth and young adults with SCD. METHO ...

Background and objective: The human brain displays rich and complex patterns of interaction within and among brain networks that involve both cortical and subcortical brain regions. Due to the limited spatial resolution of surface electroencephalography (EEG), EEG source imaging is used to recons ...

This study aimed at better understanding the neurochemistry underlying TMS and MRS measurements as it pertains to GABAergic activity following administration of allosteric GABAA receptor agonist lorazepam. Seventeen healthy adults (8 females, 26.0 ± 5.4 years old) participated in a double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled study, where participants unde ...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) causes progressive cystic degeneration of the renal tubules, the nephrons, eventually severely compromising kidney function. ADPKD is incurable, with half of the patients eventually needing renal replacement. Treatments for ADPKD patients are limited and new effective therapeutics are needed. Melatonin, ...

Oscillations in the granule cell layer (GCL) of the cerebellar cortex have been related to behavior and could facilitate communication with the cerebral cortex. These local field potential (LFP) oscillations, strong at 4-12 Hz in the rodent cerebellar cortex during awake immobility, should also be an indicator of an underlying influence on the patterns of ...
