Transdisciplinary research and generalist practice both face the task of integrating and discerning the value of knowledge across disciplinary and sectoral knowledge cultures. Transdisciplinarity and generalism also both offer philosophical and practical insights into the epistemology, ontology, axiology, and logic of seeing the ‘whole’. Although…[Read more]

Our evaluation has shown that the prohibition effect of straw burning significantly improved air quality in 2018, with a reduction of 59% ± 88% in the PM2.5 concentrations in October and November compared to 2015-2017. However, From October to April of the following year, the improvement effect was not significant due to postponement of straw…[Read more]

Living cells have developed a set of complex signaling responses, which allow them to withstand different environmental challenges. MLN2238 Signaling pathways enable the cell to monitor external and internal states and to articulate the appropriate physiological responses. Cellular signal transmission requires the dynamic formation of…[Read more]

In the present work, the lowest energy structures and electronic properties of Agn clusters up to n = 16 are investigated using a successive growth algorithm coupled with density functional theory calculations (DFT). In the literature, a number of putative global minimum structures for silver clusters have been reported by using different…[Read more]

Deformities in human soft tissue caused by trauma or burn present a difficult problem in plastic surgery. In this study, we encapsulated troglitazone and angiotensin 1-7 mimetic AVE0991 in gelation microspheres with the goal of inducing epithelial transformation for potential applications in tissue reconstruction. After troglitazone or AVE0991…[Read more]
