A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinomycete, designated strain CC 0387(T), was isolated from a sediment sample from the Baltic Sea, Germany. Classification using a polyphasic approach and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain CC 0387(T) belonged to the genus Promicromonospora and displayed more than 3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence from all Promicromonospora species w...

A new species and 2 new records of lichen genus Buellia were discovered from Chuja-do Island in Jeju Province during a recent floristic survey: B. chujana X. Y. Wang, S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös & J.-S. Hur sp. nov., B. halonia (Ach.) Tuck., and B. mamillana (Tuck.) W. A. Weber. The new species is characterized by a brown, areolate thallus, the presence of perlatolic acid, and a saxicolous habitat. ...

N,N’-Bis(4-diphenylaminophenyl)pyromellitimide (TPA-PMDI) was synthesized from the condensation reaction of 4-aminotriphenylamine with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). The triphenylamine-diimide TPA-PMDI could be electrochemically polymerized into ambipolar, redox-active polyimide films on the electrode surface in an electrolyte solution via the coupling reactions between triphenylamine radical...

Aloe vera L., is a perennial, evergreen, freely suckering plant, distributed throughout the world and widely recognized for its medicinal and cosmetic values. Species have naturalized well in tropical to sub tropical regions of India. Plants growing in these regions are prolific flower producer but do not set any seed. The flowering period of the species in the subtropical climates of Jammu J &...

Well-crystallized (Y0.97-x Tb0.03Eu x )2(OH)5NO3·nH2O (x = 0-0.03) layered rare-earth hydroxide (LRH) nanoflakes of a pure high-hydration phase have been produced by autoclaving from the nitrate/NH4OH reaction system under the optimized conditions of 100 °C and pH ∼7.0. The flakes were then converted into (Y0.97-x Tb0.03Eu x )2O3 phosphor nanoplates with color-tunable photoluminescence. Detaile...

Using three antibodies to visual pigments (monoclonal antibodies COS-1 and OS-2, and a polyclonal anti-opsin serum), four different types of cone cells could be distinguished in the red area (dorsoposterior part with the highest density of cones) of the pigeon retina. Both members of the double cone and the single cone with the red oil droplet were labelled with our monoclonal antibody COS-1 (t...

A case of intracranial cholesterol granuloma is described in a 4-year-old neutered European male cat presented with a 5-month history of progressive weakness, ataxia and depression. On clinical evaluation, haematological and biochemical profiles revealed only mild hypercholesterolemia and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large space-occupying extra-axial mass in the area of the falx, not hom...

Light therapy, also called phototherapy, exposes infants with jaundice [5], a yellowing of the skin and eyes, to artificial or natural light to break down the buildup of bilirubin pigment in the blood. Bilirubin is an orange to red pigment produced when red blood cells break down, which causes infants to turn into a yellowish color. Small amounts of bilirubin in the blood are normal, but when t...
