Xylan Is Critical for Proper Bundling and Alignment of Cellulose Microfibrils in Plant Secondary Cell Walls

Plant biomass represents an abundant and increasingly important natural resource and it mainly consists of a number of cell types that have undergone extensive secondary cell wall (SCW) formation. These cell types are abundant in the stems ...

Fluid Mud and Nautical Bottom – Concept and Application in Itajaí Port Complex (Brazil)

Considering the demand for mooring larger ships at Brazilian port terminals, both private and public, in a scenario of growing exports, engineering interventions that can provide improvements in the vessel’s maximum allowed dimensions can r...

EXPLORING Z GENERATION ATTITUDES TOWARD VARIETIES OF ENGLISH(ES)

English, one of the most dominant languages, has undergone transformations and divergences that have created a variety of variations in different parts of the world. The fact is that English has more than 160 acknowledged variations of acce...

Lits, souches, camps : circulations et proliférations écoféministes dans deux romans de Jean Hegland

Jean Hegland’s Into the Forest (1996) concludes with two sisters and their infant Burl abandoning their family home to embrace life in a neighbouring forest. Western domesticity, symbolised by private bedrooms, is replaced by the plural, bi...

Native and Introduced Plants in a Managed Campus Landscape: Habitat Associations, Functional Overlap, and Taxonomic Patterns

ABSTRACT Managed landscapes support diverse vascular plant assemblages, with composition shaped by both regional species pools and human planting and maintenance. This study assessed floristic composition, habitat associations, growth forms...

Validation of OMI, GOME-2A and GOME-2B tropospheric NO₂, SO₂ and HCHO products using MAX-DOAS observations from 2011 to 2014 in Wuxi, China: investigation of the effects of priori profiles and aerosols on the satellite products

Tropospheric vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO2, SO2 and HCHO derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on AURA and the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment 2 aboard METOP-A (GOME-2A) and METOP-B (GOME-2B) are widely used to cha...

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier ...

Triple-Layered Closure Of An Oroantral Fistula: A Case Report

Introduction: An oroantral fistula (OAF) is an abnormal connection between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus, usually occurred after the removal of maxillary premolar and molar teeth. Many techniques have been described for closure of...

Necrocartography: Topographies and topologies of non-sites of memory

Based on the experience of spatial confusion and inadequacy common during visits to uncommemorated sites of violence, the authors propose expanding the topological reflection in the research on the spatialities of the Holocaust, as well as ...

Confronting the figure of the “mad scientist” in psychedelic history: LSD’s use as a correctional tool in the postwar period

Since reports about CIA-funded LSD studies came out in the 1970s, psychedelic drugs have invoked images of unethical experimentation and “mad scientists” in the public imagination. Even now, as the stigma surrounding psychedelics diminishes...

Soviet Empire, Childhood, and Education

Children constituted a key element of the Soviet empire-building project, reconfiguring childhoods and refashioning the colonial space itself.  Children of different ethnicities across the territories of the Soviet republics were to be unit...

Social and Cultural Predicaments of Female-Headed Households Related to Charitable Institutions in Behbahan

Introduction The number of female-headed households has significantly increased worldwide. In Iran as well, these households now account for more than 14% of all families. Female heads of households are women who, due to reasons such as div...

Dove/non dove. "Il parco virtuale": una nota esplicativa

In this article we present the database Dove/nondove, which aims aims to collect and list the texts of female authors who’ve wrote about places and spaces. The goal is to create a global hypertext, monitoring the evolution of specific theme...

Evaluating the influence of anatomical accuracy and electrode positions on EEG forward solutions

Generating realistic volume conductor models for forward calculations in electroencephalography (EEG) is not trivial and several factors contribute to the accuracy of such models, two of which are its anatomical accuracy and the accuracy wi...

Self-Matrix N-Doped Room Temperature Phosphorescent Carbon Dots Triggered by Visible and Ultraviolet Light Dual Modes

The synthesis of room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (RTP-CDs) without any matrix is important in various applications. In particular, RTP-CDs with dual modes of excitation are more interesting. Here, we successfully synthesized mat...

Color Space Transformation-Based Algorithm for Evaluation of Thermochromic Behavior of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals Using Polarized Light Microscopy

Two new species of Penicillium (Eurotiales, Aspergillaceae) and the first record of P. danzhouense from mangrove sediment in Thailand, with notes on antibacterial activity

Two novel species of Penicillium, comprising P. chanthaburiense sp. nov. and P. buranakarlianum sp. nov., were isolated from mangrove sediment collected at the King Rama IX International Mangrove Botanical Garden in Chanthaburi Province, Th...

Evolution of Tandem Repeats Is Mirroring Post-polyploid Cladogenesis in Heliophila (Brassicaceae)

The unigeneric tribe Heliophileae encompassing more than 100 Heliophila species is morphologically the most diverse Brassicaceae lineage. The tribe is endemic to southern Africa, confined chiefly to the southwestern South Africa, home of tw...

Kinetic sculpting of the seven stripes of the Drosophila even-skipped gene

We used live imaging to visualize the transcriptional dynamics of the Drosophila melanogaster even-skipped gene at single-cell and high-temporal resolution as its seven stripe expression pattern forms, and developed tools to characterize an...

Effect of Tunnel Ventilation on Hydrogen Dispersion From Leaks in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks

ABSTRACT The widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cell trucks (HFCTs) depends on addressing hydrogen safety concerns, particularly in confined spaces like tunnels, where effective ventilation is crucial to prevent accumulation during leaks....
