Horticulture has greatly increased in Argentina in recent decades mainly due to increasing greenhouse utilization and agrochemical consumption, thus representing a threat to adjacent water bodies. Riparian wetlands, however, could attenuate agrochemical contamination. The present work therefore compared insecticide concentrations in bottom…[Read more]

The results showed complete planktonic inhibition for clinically relevant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and a reduction of up to 4 orders of magnitude for viable sessile cells, demonstrating the efficacy of these surfaces in preventing the initial stages of biofilm formation. Our approach adds a new option to existing…[Read more]

Modulation of the firing times of neural oscillators has long been an important control objective, with applications including Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, epilepsy, and learning. One common goal for such modulation is desynchronization, wherein two or more oscillators are stimulated to transition from firing in phase with each other…[Read more]

8% (95% CI, 96.3 to 99.3), which rejected the null hypothesis (

< .0001). Serially collected patient-reported outcomes indicated that patients treated with T-DM1 had less neuropathy and alopecia and better work productivity compared with patients on TH.

Among patients with stage I HER2+ BC, one year of adjuvant T-DM1 was associated…[Read more]

Chimeric AtPIP5K2-EYFP and NtPIP5K6-EYFP variants with reciprocally swapped membrane-associating domains evoked reciprocally shifted effects on cell morphology upon overexpression. Overall, active PI4P 5-kinase variants stabilized actin when targeted to nanodomains, suggesting a role of nanodomain-associated PtdIns(4,5)P2 in actin regulation. This…[Read more]

Non-emergency interventions were implemented on 68.6 percent of calls.

Individuals calling the Lifeline when they are worried about someone are provided a range of interventions which can supplement, and at times replace, calling 911.

We present the intra- and inter-molecular organocatalysis of SN2 fluorination using CsF by crown ether to estimate the efficacy of the promoter and to elucidate the reaction mechanism. The yields of intramolecular SN2 fluorination of the veratrole substrates are measured to be very small ( less then 1% in 12 h) in the absence of crown ether…[Read more]

Porous materials possess high internal surface areas and void fractions that make them valuable in several applications, including gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, and water purification. Despite the plentiful effort allocated to porous materials research annually, few methods exist to directly monitor and characterize chemical events…[Read more]
