BACKGROUND Sepsis, a life-threatening immunological response to an infection, disproportionality affects allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients and is challenging to define. Clinical criteria that predict mortality and intensive care unit endpoints in patients with suspected infections (SI) have been adopted in sepsis…[Read more]

Strikingly, when a multi-5mCG sites model was deployed to further characterize substrate preferences of TET, TET preferred the fully methylated site over the hemi-methylated site. This analytical modality also permits the direct observations of dynamic movements of TET such as sliding and interstrand transfer by high-speed AFM. In addition, the…[Read more]

We observed that the abundance of bees was lower at higher elevations, and both abundance and richness increased in more complex habitat. This may be due to the characteristics of Brazilian savannas where the lower elevations have higher habitat complexity, with more places for nest construction and resources for feeding and nesting.

The lattice heat transport properties of the thermoelectric (TE) material SnTe and the doped Sn7SbTe8 and Sn7BiTe8 are examined using Boltzmann transport theory supplemented with first-principle calculations. We illustrate the microscopic origin of the lattice thermal conductivity, κ l of the materials by calculating the mode Grüneisen p…[Read more]
