To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a core set of 14,345 orthologs shared among seven mammalian species of which 1217 are absent or undetected in noneutherian (marsupial or monotreme) genomes. Cattle-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions in chromosomes hav...

We report the synthesis of composite RuO2/(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanotubes with high specific capacitance and fast charging/discharging capability as well as their potential application to the electrode materials for a high-energized and high-powered supercapacitor. We show that the energy density (specific capacitance) of PEDOT nanotubes can be remarkably enhanced by electrodepos...

Food allergy (FA) prevalence data in infants and preschool-age children are sparse, and proposed risk factors lack confirmation. In this study, 19 children's day care centers (DCC) from 2 main Portuguese cities were selected after stratification and cluster analysis. An ISAAC's (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) derived health questionnaire was applied to a sample of chi...

Carbon monoxide intoxication remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States with an estimate of 50,000 cases annually in emergency departments nationwide (Weaver, N Engl J Med. 2009;360:1217-25). Sources of carbon monoxide most often include car exhaust, malfunctioning heating systems and inhaled smoke. It has been well established that there is a dose-dependent increase ...

Ab initio quantum chemical calculations, G3B3, second-order Møller– Plesset (MP2), and the hybrid density functional method B3LYP were employed to compute the proton affinities of 24 heterocyclic amines. A range of basis sets are employed, starting from doublepolarization quality to triplequality basis set with augmented diffuse and polarization function. Experimental values were used to calibr...

2014 Scattering of a cadmium beam from (100) NaCl surface has been studied in ultra-high vacuum. The existence of the quasi-specular lobe observed in the early studies on scattering of neutral atoms from solid surfaces, around 1930 by Ellet et al., is confirmed. The dependence of the angular position of the quasi-specular lobe as a function of either the substrate temperature or the beam temper...

Bacteriol. 91:1210-1217. 1966.-Cell-free extracts prepared from Escherichia coli catalyze the cleavage of the thioether linkage of S-ribosylhomocysteine. One of the products has been identified as homocysteine by paper chromatography of the N...

Natural health products in North America represent a $9.6 billion USD industry that has seen increased demands, particularly for immune support and anti-viral supplements as response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It been estimated approximately 40% of plant raw materials used natural are wild harvested each year, but exact data missing many species. Our show there at least 1445 medicinal species co...
