Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major multidrug resistant pathogen responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. Clinical Hetero-resistant (HeR) MRSA strains, mostly associated with persistent infections, are composed of mixed cell populations that contain organisms with low levels of resistance (hetero-resistant HeR) and those that display high levels...

Uniform, size-controlled, and optimized crystalline Ru NPs on carbon supporter by FBR-ALD for the improved HOR performance in alkaline media.

Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi (Gs) is a relevant pathogen of chestnut since it provokes significant losses worldwide. The aim this study was to screen the effect new biocontrol agent (BCA) against Gs isolated from (CIMO-BCA1) on mould’s growth as well production secondary metabolites. chemical fungicide Horizon® (tebuconazole; HOR) and commercial biofungicide Serenade® ASO (Bacillus amyloliquefacie...

In synthesis planning, the goal is to synthesize a target molecule from available starting materials, possibly optimizing costs such as price or environmental impact of the process. Current algorithmic approaches to synthesis planning are usually based on selecting a bond set and finding a single good plan among those induced by it. We demonstrate that synthesis planning can be phrased as a com...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The prognostic value of tumor size is variable. We aimed to characterize the interaction between tumor size and hormone receptor (HoR) status to determine breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM). METHODS We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry to identify 328, 870 female patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from 1990 through 2010. Pri...

Designing a bifunctional catalyst for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and evolution (HER) is significant toward developing sustainable hydrogen-electric conversion systems. Herein, cost-effective catalyst, Ru/N-doped Carbon@WO3-W2C (Ru/NC@WOC), was developed via co-precipitation polyol reduction. Ru/NC@WOC showed superior HOR/HER activity in alkaline solution comparison with commercial Pt/C. ...

Competing theories of analogical reasoning have disagreed on the relative contributions of surface and structural features to the access of previously read base stories when one is reading a current cue story. A key limitation of the prior work was that surface and structural feature overlap between bases and cues was not manipulated precisely. The present study systematically manipulated the n...

Bimetallic catalysts containing platinum and transition metals (PtM, M = Mo, Ni, CoCr) were synthesized on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) functionalized in an alkaline medium. Their content is 10–15% by mass. PtM/CNTNaOH are active both the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) oxygen reduction (ORR) electrolytes. Although based a single metal inactive HOR, their activity cathode process of ORR increases ...

Electrocatalysts for hydrogen oxidation reactions (HORs) are the key to renewable-energy technologies including fuel cells, hydrogen pumps, and water splitting. Despite the significant technological interest and tremendous efforts that have been made, development of hydrogen electrode catalysts with high activity at low cost remains a great challenge. Here, we report the preparation, characteri...
