Eastern Mountain Avens (Geum peckii Pursh, Rosaceae) is a globally rare and endangered perennial plant found only at two coastal bogs within Digby County (Nova Scotia, Canada) and at several alpine sites in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (USA). In Canada, the G. peckii population has declined over the past forty years due in part to habitat…[Read more]

Carbon-encapsulated Fe nanocomposites (Fe@C), obtained by pyrolysis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove emerging contaminants (ECs). Unfortunately, the current MOFs-derived catalysts always inevitably produce more iron-oxide compounds that unfavorable for PMS activation. In this work, according to the…[Read more]

ns and stakeholders in their efforts to attract students to undertake rural placements and be immersed in these unique learning experiences.

Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCS) are potentially effective treatments for cardiogenic shock (CS) and are thus evaluated in several randomised controlled trials (RCTs). However, it is not clear…[Read more]

The results showed that 76.6% of the study participants had consanguineous marriage between their parents, 64.1% had a history of hereditary deafness in first-degree relatives. There were statistically significant differences between the total knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy before and after intervention (p less then 0.001). In detail,…[Read more]

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) modify bioactive factors via selective processing or degradation resulting in tumour-promoting or tumour-suppressive effects, such as those by MMP8 in various cancers. We mapped the substrates of MMP8 to elucidate its previously shown tumour-protective role in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). MMP8…[Read more]

An arbitrary multi-echo GRE acquisition optimized for quantitative susceptibility mapping (…[Read more]

Taken together, our protoplast isolation and transfection protocol is highly efficient, stable and time-saving. It can be used for gene function and molecular analyses in orchids and other economically important monocot crops.Modulated electromagnetic fields (wEMFs), as generated by modern communication technologies, have raised concerns about…[Read more]

The current spread of SARS-CoV-2 indicates a long-term fight against the widespread and exponential increase in morbidity and mortality across the globe. A variety of non-pharmacological strategies to mitigate and suppress virus transmission have been investigated and introduced. mTOR inhibitor Currently, emerging studies focus mostly on the…[Read more]

These observations indicate that the molecular conformation of gelatin can be modulated by Hofmeister anions.In this study, the effect of high-pressure steam sterilization (121 °C for 15 min) on whey protein hydrolysate-pectin solutions and emulsions was studied. The interaction and emulsification characteristics of pectin and whey protein conc…[Read more]

5% metabolic functions (p less then 0.01) in AS from the system fed with textile-dyeing wastewater, including the pathways of pentose phosphate metabolism, purine metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Overall, this study corroborates textile-dyeing wastewater is a novel microbial niche and could suppress sludge performance by inhibiting…[Read more]
