The formation of inorganic nanomaterials such as CdS, ZnS, and gold and silver nanoparticles was recently observed in microorganisms. The underlying processes are still not well understood at the molecular scale. It has been proposed that enzymes or peptides may take part in the nucleation and reaction control. It seems highly desirable to perform similar reactions in artificial systems as a fi...

objective most children brought to the emergency department (ed) for evaluation of seizures undergo an extensive laboratory workup. since results are usually negative, the value of such routine laboratory workups has been questioned. a group of children with unprovoked seizures was prospectively studied to determine the diagnostic values of routine serum chemistries and to identify risk factors...
