The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been playing an important role in constructing propagating China’s international image. This study explores BRI-themed pictorial news reports featured with the coexistence of text pictures from China Daily BBC to analyze BRI image construction. Our discussion centers on two perspectives multimodal conceptual metaphors, namely representational meaning, inte...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(8)H(6)BrI, the H atoms of methyl groups are disordered; site-occupation factors were fixed at 0.50. The non-H atoms all lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two non-planar five-membered rings.

Cutaneous toxoplasmosis is a rare manifestation. This study represents a case report of an immunosuppressed dog that developed nodular dermal lesions caused by Toxoplasma gondii. The isolate (TgDgBr20) was characterized as mouse virulent and was genotyped as type BrI (ToxoDB genotype 6) using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and as Africa 1 through microsatellite analysis.

The title compound, C(13)H(8)BrI(2)NO, was prepared by the reaction of 3,5-diiodo-salicyl-aldehyde with 4-bromo-phenyl-amine in ethanol. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond in the mol-ecule, which generates an S(6) ring. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 2.6 (3)°.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)BrI, contains three independent mol-ecules. In each molecule, the Br, I and C atoms of the methyl groups lie in the benzene ring plane. Intra-molecular C-H⋯I hydrogen bonds result in the formation of three planar five-membered rings, which are nearly coplanar with the adjacent rings.

in the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. we have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. according to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.

The identification and physical isolation of epithelial stem cells is critical to our understanding of their growth regulation during homeostasis, wound healing, and carcinogenesis. These stem cells remain poorly characterized because of the absence of specific molecular markers that permit us to distinguish them from their progeny, the transit amplifying (TA) cells, which have a more restricte...

BACKGROUND A simple, rapid and accurate stability-indicating reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed and validated for the determination of brimonidine tartrate in brimonidine tartrate/poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (BRI/PHEMA) drug delivery contact lenses and pharmaceutical formulations. RESULTS Optimum chromatographic conditions for separating brimoni...

PURPOSE To quantitatively evaluate microdistortions in Bowman's layer and change in corneal stiffness after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). METHODS This was a prospective, longitudinal, and interventional study. Thirty eyes of 30 patients were screened preoperatively and underwent SMILE for treatment of myopia with astigmatism. Visual acuity, refraction, optical coherence tomogra...
