In our everyday behavior, we frequently cancel one movement while continuing others. Two competing models have been suggested for the cancellation of such specific actions (1) the abrupt engagement of a unitary global inhibitory mechanism followed by reinitiation of the continuing actions; or (2) a balance between distinct global and selective…[Read more]

Salt-doped A/B/AB ternary polymer blends, wherein an AB copolymer acts as a surfactant to stabilize otherwise incompatible A and B homopolymers, display a wide range of nanostructured morphologies with significant tunability. Among these structures, a bicontinuous microemulsion (BμE) has been a notable target. Here, we report the surprising…[Read more]

Brief examples of susceptibility of value chain operations and of their vulnerability to COVID-19 lockdown measures are given. A focus on resistance and resilience encourages investigation of local-level responses by communities and NGOs, which with appropriate monitoring and learning could be scaled up.Zoonotic pathogens and parasites that are…[Read more]

Structural transformation of the canonical right-handed helix, B-DNA, to the non-canonical left-handed helix, Z-DNA, can be induced by the Zα domain of the human RNA editing enzyme ADAR1 (hZαADAR1). To characterize the site-specific preferences of binding and structural changes in DNA containing the 2′-O-methyl guanosine derivative (mG), t…[Read more]

Unusually high levels of body fragmentation (FI value below 0.1) in some secondary sites may indicate that body disarticulation was most likely caused peri-mortem by explosives, land mines, mortars or tank fire, all suggesting a combat situation.A study was undertaken of all drowning deaths that occurred over a 30-year period from 1988 to 2017 in…[Read more]

0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 103 ng mL-1, and the detection limits were 3.2 and 7.4 pg mL-1 for the electrochemical and colorimetric modes, respectively. Besides, It is demonstrated that the dual-mode strategy shows favorable selectivity and stability in the assays, indicating a diversified application prospect in both clinic analysis and daily care.Each y…[Read more]
