In this paper, we analyse how the socialisation of new science and technology (technoscience) is performed through newspapers. Newspapers remain an important source information about emerging technosciences, such as bio- nanotechnology, even in age social media. This includes communication scientific technological developments but also sense-making imaginaries related to expectations future eff...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of nozzle types and the time of herbicide incorporation in soil on weed control, using split plot design by randomized block design. the main plots were soil and herbicide mixing time and the subplots were nozzle types with three replications. this study was performed in karaj station of seed and plant improvement institute, located 25 km west o...

A new carboxylic acid functionalised cavitand forms [Cu(3)L(2)] metallo-cryptophanes with Cu(OAc)(2) that can be linked together into dimers with the bridging ligand 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene. Reaction of the cavitand with Co(OAc)(2) gives a metallo-cryptophane with a central Co(7) cluster.

In an effort to characterize the roles of each metal ion in metalloβ-lactamase NDM-1, heterodimetallic analogues (CoCo-, ZnCo-, and CoCd-) of the enzyme were generated and characterized. UV−vis, H NMR, EPR, and EXAFS spectroscopies were used to confirm the fidelity of the metal substitutions, including the presence of a homogeneous, heterodimetallic cluster, with a single-atom bridge. This mark...

Clinical observations indicate that in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, the long-acting muscarinic antagonist tiotropium delays decline in airway function, suggesting that cholinergic mechanisms contribute to long-term structural changes. Human lung fibroblasts express muscarinic receptors and the present study aimed to explore their role in controlling collagen synthesis. MRC-5,...

Poliovirus (PV) is a well-characterized RNA virus, and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) from PV (3D(pol)) has been widely employed as an important model for understanding the structure-function relationships of RNA and DNA polymerases. Many experimental studies of the kinetics of nucleotide incorporation by RNA and DNA polymerases suggest that each nucleotide incorporation cycle basicall...

Sodium borosilicate glasses containing various concentrations of rhenium or technetium were fabricated, and their vibrational spectra studied using a Raman microscope. Spectra were interpreted with reference to new high resolution measurements of alkali pertechnetates and perrhenates NaReO4, KReO4, NaTcO4, and KTcO4. At low concentrations of ReO4 or TcO4 , glass spectra show weak peaks superimp...

BACKGROUND Unique phosphodihydroceramides containing phosphoethanolamine and glycerol have been previously described in Porphyromonas gingivalis. Importantly, they were shown to possess pro-inflammatory properties. Other common human bacteria were screened for the presence of these lipids, and they were found, amongst others, in the oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia. To date, no detailed study...
