Nitrosomonas europaea is a chemolithoautotroph that obtains energy by oxidizing ammonia in the presence of oxygen and fixes CO2 via the Benson-Calvin cycle. Despite its environmental and evolutionary importance, very lit...

As a substitute for traditional perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) substances, chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate acid(6∶2 Cl-PFAES, F-53B) has been widely adopted in China's electroplating industry. It should be...

Ombrotrophic peat bogs from Tierra del Fuego are characteristically raised, dome-shaped, fed by precipitation, and nutrient-poor. Their landscape pattern consists of a Sphagnum magellanicum matrix encompassing pools with...

The materials that compose the urban envelope are determinant for the reduction of heat gains and overheating of a city. Increasing the solar reflection of vertical materials is an efficient strategy to reduce urban temp...

ABSTRACT John MacFarlane’s truth relativism (2005, 2007, 2011, 2014) makes use of two notions of propositional truth: a monadic assessment sensitive one taken to be our ordinary truth notion, and a non-monadic one that...

Here, we present the concept of flat-field capillary-assisted nanoparticle tracking analysis for the characterization of fast diffusing nano-objects. By combining diffusion confinement and spatially invariant illuminatio...

Abstract Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Functional characterization may facilitate the differentiation of the hete...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is one of the promising materials for absorber layers of new-generation thin film solar cells. Various synthetic routes of materials preparation and structural characterization have been explored so far....

Incorporation of filler materials in polymer composites have gained due to their superior qualities such as improved properties. The objective of the work is to study the effect of plant-based fillers, such as Rice Husk ...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

"For time-invariant systems, the property of input-to-state stability (ISS) is known to be strictly stronger than integral-ISS (iISS). Known proofs of the fact that ISS implies iISS employ Lyapunov characterizations of b...

Ultrafast laser 3D lithography based on non-linear light–matter interactions, widely known as multi-photon lithography (MPL), offers unrivaled precision rapid prototyping and flexible additive manufacturing options. 3D...

This study aimed to identify in the indexers Medline, PsycINFO, Lilacs and Scielo, in the period between 2000 and 2005, empirical studies that investigated social phobia in relation to social skills, followed by a critic...

The oocysts of the coccidia are robust structures, frequently isolated from the feces or urine of their hosts, which provide resistance to mechanical damage and allow the parasites to survive and remain infective for pro...

Abstract Background Timely diagnosis and therapeutic management of rare diseases (RDs) are greatly hampered by limited clinical information and a lack of reliable epidemiological data. RDs constitute a heterogeneous grou...

Photoluminescence (PL), a photo-excited spontaneous emission process, provides a wealth of optical and electronic properties of materials, which enable microscopic and spectroscopic imaging, biomedical sensing and diagno...

"Characterizations of various uniform stability properties of switched systems described by differential inclusions, and whose switchings are governed by a digraph, are developed. These characterizations are given in t...

Objetivou-se avaliar o uso de descritores morfológicos na caracterização e seleção de genótipos de capim-elefante (Pennisetum sp.) de porte baixo e determinar a herdabilidade dos caracteres avaliados. Foram utiliza...

A qualidade de formulações manipuladas é conseqüência direta da qualidade da matéria-prima empregada para sua obtenção. Dessa forma, características físico-químicas relacionados ao fármaco tais como tamanho d...

Com intuito de elevar o potencial terapêutico e cosmético das águas termais, foram desenvolvidos diversos processos de adição de argilas e solos orgânicos às referidas águas cujo produto deste processo é o fango...

Este trabalho objetivou a caracterização físico-química do benznidazol (BNZ), utilizando diversas técnicas analíticas. Os dados obtidos nos espectrogramas de infravermelho mostram as características principais da ...

Nanocapsule suspensions containing coenzyme Q10 were prepared by interfacial deposition. The nanocapsules showed characteristics compatible with dermal application: slightly acid pH, drug content close to 100%, particle ...

Several mathematical models in SARS-CoV-2 have shown how the target cell model can help to understand the spread of the virus in the host and how potential antiviral treatments can help to control the virus. Concepts as ...

The approach described in this paper represents a substantive departure from the conventional quantitative techniques of system analysis. It has three main distinguishing features: 1) use of so-called ``linguistic'' vari...
