Conservation psychology models include certain personal characteristics, experiences, attitudes and beliefs as predictors of conservation. We propose that a concept from evolutionary psychology, called the K-Factor, may provide the theoretical groundwork for a unifying theory of proenvironmental behavior, incorporating and connecting many predictors from existing conservation literature. The K-...

In this work, we describe the first modular, and programmable platform capable of transmitting a text message using chemical signalling - a method also known as molecular communication. This form of communication is attractive for applications where conventional wireless systems perform poorly, from nanotechnology to urban health monitoring. Using examples, we demonstrate the use of our platfor...

Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an importantly and naturally occurring polyphenol from plants of the mint family with potent biological activities. Here, the in vitro interaction of RA with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using various biophysical approaches as well as molecular modeling methods, to ascertain its binding mechanism and conformational changes. The fluorescence results de...

To explore the specificity determinants involved in lectin-sugar interactions, we have prepared 6 neoglycoproteins, each containing a single ovalbumin-derived oligosaccharide unit linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA), and compared their concanavalin A (Con A) binding and their in vivo circulatory clearance rate and tissue specificity in the rat. The neoglycoproteins were prepared using the glyc...
