Sulfonated cellulose nanocrystals (S-CNCs) can be used to encapsulate thyme white essential oil (EO) that is volatile and immiscible with water. S-CNCs form a Pickering emulsion (PE) with EOs and the micron-scale PEs are embedded in sodium alginate (SA) to form macroscale hydrogel beads. MER-29 order The incorporation of PEs with SA is confirmed…[Read more]

The present dataset provides experimental measurements of the 3D liquid/gas interface shape during lateral water sloshing in a partially filled cylindrical container. The measurement technique used to acquire the data is the Reference Image Topography [1] based on a Synthetic Schlieren Free-Surface Reconstruction method [2]. A modified version of…[Read more]

Globally, Candida auris is an emerging pathogen that poses an essential threat in healthcare settings presenting as outbreaks requiring significant allocation of infection control interventions to curb transmission. This fungal pathogen was initially identified in 2009 in Japan, but it has spread to all continents. Candida auris poses significant…[Read more]

Gliomas are the most fatal malignant cerebral tumors. Temozolomide (TMZ), as the primary chemotherapy drug, has been widely used in clinics. However, resistance of TMZ still remains to poor defined. LncRNAs have been reported to play crucial roles in progression of various cancers and resistance of multiple drugs. However, the biological function…[Read more]

The levels of acetate, propionate and butyrate gradually increased with the increasing fermentation time for NPS and RAPS. In comparison to the blank control (i.e., the group without the addition of carbohydrate), the fermented NPS and RAPS obviously resulted in an increased abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, accompanied by a decrease in…[Read more]

Of the cognitive domains tested only verbal episodic memory declined both in relation to age since the menopause and in conjunction with the reproductive hormones that reflect the menopause. This decline was independent of normal ageing and suggests that the menopause is associated with a mild impact on this specific domain of…[Read more]

Despite improvements in dialysis treatment, mortality rates remain high, especially among older hemodialysis patients. Quality of life (QOL) among hemodialysis patients is strongly associated with higher risk of death. This study aimed to describe the health-related QOL and its change in older maintenance hemodialysis patients and to demonstrate…[Read more]

What hard disks embodied material consumption inside China’s imports and also exports.

Infrared (IR) laser ablation-remote-electrospray ionization (LARESI) platform coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) operated in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes was developed and employed for imaging of…[Read more]

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green strategy using fifty-eight plant extracts that originated from Vietnam and Indonesia. Among the fifty-eight AgNP samples, we selected six AgNP samples synthesized by the extracts of Areca catechu, Hypotrachyna laevigata, Ardisia incarnata, Maesa calophylla, Maesa laxiflora and Adinandra…[Read more]

The history of vitamin A goes back over one hundred years, but our realization of its importance for the brain and cognition is much more recent. The brain is more efficient than other target tissues at converting vitamin A to retinoic acid (RA), which activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs). RARs regulate transcription, but their function in the…[Read more]

Knowledge remains scarce about inequities in health care utilization between groups defined, not only by single, but by multiple and intersecting social categories. This study aims to estimate intersectional horizontal inequities in health care utilization by gender and educational level in Northern Sweden, applying a novel methodological…[Read more]

We present in detail the dataset and its evaluation in “Sensing Social Interactions through BLE Beacons and Commercial Mobile Devices”, in which we focus on two orthogonal analysis quality of the dataset and RSSI symmetry of the channel during the interaction stage between pairs of users.Land-use decisions in relation to seismic-induced landslide…[Read more]
