The present part of the series provides new records 11 taxa, among them one diatom, six lichen-forming fungi and four bryophytes. diatom Stauroneis blazenciciae is to Romania, it second record worldwide. lichen species have already been reported from Hungary, however they are quite rare. Additional interesting presented, e.g. Calicium notarisii Pseudothelomma ocellatum for Great Hungarian Plain...

A new concept in multifunctional anticancer agents is demonstrated. Tetrakis-(diisopropyl-guanidino) zinc phthalocyanine (Zn-DIGP) exhibits excellent properties as a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent, as well as potential anti-metastatic activities in vivo. Zn-DIGP exhibits good cellular uptake and low toxicity in the dark (EC50 > 80 μM) and is well tolerated upon its intravenous injection into ...

The isotope ^{163}Ho is in many ways the best candidate to perform experiments to investigate the value of the electron neutrino mass. It undergoes an electron capture process to ^{163}Dy with an energy available to the decay, Q_{EC}, of about 2.8 keV. According to the present knowledge, this is the lowest Q_{EC} value for such transitions. Here we discuss a newly obtained spectrum of ^{163}Ho,...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has been recognized as one of the important zoonotic pathogens. However, it was limited about epidemiology and genetic characteristics S. isolated from pigs in Hunan province, china. The aim this study to determine 163 590 Province, China. All isolates were characterized by agr typing, detection virulence genes antibiotic resistance genes, lethal test mice susc...

The Dirac spin liquid ground state of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnet has potential instabilities. This has been suggested as the reason why it does not emerge as the ground state in large-scale numerical calculations. However, previous attempts to observe these instabilities have failed. We report on the discovery of a projected BCS state with lower energy than the projected Dir...

Using structure-directing agents, pore space partitions of a Zn-phosphonocarboxylate framework have been achieved. Selective adsorption of CO(2) over N(2) has been greatly improved from ca. 9 : 1 to 94 : 1.

Fixed angle surface plasmon coupled fluorescence (SPCF) from iron thin films is demonstrated for the first time. The optimum thickness of the iron thin films was determined to be 15 nm using Fresnel calculations. The angles of minimum reflectivity for light at 496-814 nm were predicted to occur at a fixed and broad range of angles of 60-70°. Experimental corroboration of these predictions were ...
