Abrupt temperature changes and warming hiatuses have a great impact on socioeconomic systems; however, their mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the quantitative of responses abrupt seasonal in China to influencing factors were analysed using monthly mean (Tav), minimum (Tnav), maximum (Txav) from 622 meteorological stations covering 1951–2018, CMIP6 model data, data at large spatial scal...

Using mineral oil (MO) derived from petroleum, e.g., transformer insulation, raises environmental risk and affects sustainability. Due to its affordability easy availability, MO will ineluctably be preferred over other biodegradable oils. Therefore, tools must developed recover aged MO, extend the life cycle, increase The work presented here is aimed at investigation of electrical insulation pr...

The effect of acetylene ((14)C(2)H(2)) on aerobic and anaerobic ammonia oxidation by Nitrosomonas eutropha was investigated. Ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) was inhibited and a 27 kDa polypeptide (AmoA) was labelled during aerobic ammonia oxidation. In contrast, anaerobic, NO(2)-dependent ammonia oxidation (NO(2)/N(2)O(4) as oxidant) was not affected by acetylene. Further studies gave evidence that...

MicroRNA (miRNA)-guided argonaute (Ago) controls gene expression upon binding to the 3' UTR of mRNA. The miRNA function can be competitively inhibited by single-stranded anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs). In this study, we constructed a novel type of AMO flanked by interstrand cross-linked 2'-O-methylated RNA duplexes (CLs) that confer a stable helical conformation. Compared with other structu...

OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the world's most common infectious agent. Despite conventional therapy consisting of proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin (AMO) and clarithromycin (CLA), approximately half of the patients remain infected. We compared the PPI-based triple therapy with quadruple treatment (BPMT) including bismuth citrate (BS), PPI, metronidazole (MET) and tetracycline (T...

Several researchers have studied the longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) of eyes implanted with an intraocular lens (IOL). We investigated the LCA of eyes implanted with yellow-colored IOLs from three different manufacturers: Alcon Inc., HOYA Corp., and AMO Inc. The number of subjects was 11, 16, and 16, respectively. The LCA of eyes implanted with SN60WF and SN60AT (Alcon Inc.), and with X...

The understanding of atmospheric and oceanic low-frequency variability is an old problem having both theoretical interest and practical importance, e.g., for the assessment of climate change. In this paper possible relations with dynamical systems theory are given, in particular through bifurcation theory. Firstly, a specific type of oceanic low frequency variability is described, the so-called...

Accelerated warming and melting of Arctic sea-ice has been associated with significant increases in phytoplankton productivity in recent years. Here, utilizing a multiproxy approach, we reconstruct an annually resolved record of Labrador Sea productivity related to sea-ice variability in Labrador, Canada that extends well into the Little Ice Age (LIA; 1646 AD). Barium-to-calcium ratios (Ba/Ca) ...

The primary purpose of this paper is to illustrate the significance several underlying theories organizational sustainability from a motivational perspective. This adopts three distinct perspectives, including institutional or perspective, employee and stakeholder construct develop strong relationships among different variables form research framework connecting these perspectives with sustaina...
