Passive steady-state chlorophyll fluorescence (Fs) provides a direct diagnosis of the functional status of vegetation photosynthesis. With the prospect of mapping Fs using remote sensing techniques, field measurements are mandatory to understand to which extent Fs allows detecting plant stress in different environments. Trees of four common species in Valencia were classified in either a low or...

The laser cooling and trapping of ultracold neutral dysprosium has been demonstrated recently using the broad, open, 421-nm cycling transition. Narrow-line magneto-optical trapping of Dy on longer wavelength transitions would enable the preparation of ultracold Dy samples suitable for loading optical dipole traps and subsequent evaporative cooling. We have identified the closed 741-nm cycling t...

In this note, we point out a mistake in Theorem 1 of De Gennaro Aquino and Bernard (Decis Econ Finance 42(2):715–741, 2019) provide some missing references where the problem pricing barrier options under Heston model had previously been discussed.

The RNA-binding protein (RBP) nucleolin promotes the expression of several proliferative proteins. Nucleolin levels are high in cancer cells, but the mechanisms that control nucleolin expression are unknown. Here, we show that nucleolin abundance is controlled posttranscriptionally via factors that associate with its 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). The RBP HuR was found to interact with the nuc...

Onconase (Onc; also named ranpirnase), a 12 kD ribonuclease from oocytes of northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens), is cytostatic and cytotoxic to variety tumor cell lines, inhibits growth of tumors in model animals and advanced to clinical trials as anticancer and antiviral drug [1]. Although its cytostatic and cytotoxic properties were recognized nearly three decades ago [2] mechanism of actio...
