Our goal in writ ing “Dam aged Mer chan dise?” (DM) was not to have the last word on the sub ject but to raise an aware ness within the hu man–com puter in ter ac tion (HCI) com mu nity of is sues that we felt had been too long ig nored or ne glected. On read ing the 10 com men tar ies from dis tin guished mem bers of the HCI com mu nity, we were pleased to see that they had joined the de bate ...

Self-Healing Devices An innovative concept of a self-healed electrode-channel system employing ultrathin metallic copper monosulfide (CuS) and monolayered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is demonstrated by John Hong, SeungNam Cha, co-workers in article number 2102091 for the design defect-curable transistors phototransistors. Excess sulfur adatoms from CuS electrode spontaneously heal defect sites ...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, at least 12 genes are important for cells to propagate in medium containing elevated concentrations of copper salts (J. Welch, S. Fogel, C. Buchman, and M. Karin, EMBO J. 8:255-260, 1989). Complementation studies were carried out on a copper-sensitive mutation (cup14) from this group. A new yeast gene, designated SLF1, was identified as a multicopy suppressor of the...

In cell cultures of carrot (Daucus carota l.), somatic embryogenesis can be induced by transferring cells from a medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) to one devoid of 2,4-D. Previous analysis of transgenic carrot cells containing the 5' noncoding sequence of the Ri plasmid rolC and a structural gene for bacterial 0-glucuronidase (uidA) has shown that the chimeric gene is act...

Neuroimaging, primarily using cranial ultrasound (CUS), is routinely recommended in premature infants who are born at ,30 weeks’ gestational age. Most premature infants will be imaged with an early CUS examination (generally by 7–10 days of age) to assess for intraventricular or intraparenchymal hemorrhage and for evidence of early white matter injury. The role, timing, and prognostic value of ...

The contamination of water by synthetic organic molecules and trace metals is a growing challenge, in spite the enormous research efforts being made field treatment. In this study, reduced graphene oxide-copper sulphide (rGO-CuS) nanocomposites different rGO/CuS (2/1, 1/1, 1/2) molar ratios were fabricated via facile one-step hydrothermal method. nanocomposite materials, named hereafter as 2rGO...

The impacts of climate change are inevitable and driven by increased levels greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, requiring mitigation re-adaptation measures. In this context, article critically analyzes influence drying technology type, forest biomass, GHG emissions resulting from energy required for agricultural crops, presenting a case study tobacco drying. study, increasing technologica...

To the Editor: The bacterium Vi-brio vulnifi cus is a marine fl ora sap-rophyte that can cause necrotic skin infection and septicemia in humans who eat shellfi sh. Symptoms of sep-ticemia (mortality rate >50%) have been described mostly in Florida and Japan among persons who ate raw fi lter-feeding shellfi sh when seawater temperatures are >20°C (1). V. vulnifi cus–related septicemia introduced...

Background When the new bilateral air space pacification develops, we are usually indistinguishable bilateral pulmonary infiltrates from congestive cardiac failure. Until now, for the differential diagnosis of cardiogenic edema and pneumonia, laboratory finding including white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and imaging studies such as chest computed...
