The influence of genotype and osmotic stress on germination and seedling of maize [PDF]
The aim of this research was to estimate the influence of different NaCl osmotic solutions (0, -0.3 MPa, -0.6 MPa, -0.9 MPa, -1.2 MPa, -1.5 MPa) on seed germination, and early seedling growth in two maize hybrid different maturity groups (ZP 560 - FAO ...

Tetramer enrichment reveals the presence of phenotypically diverse hepatitis C virus-specific CD8+T cells in chronic infection [PDF]
Virus-specific CD8+ T cells are rarely detectable ex vivo by conventional methods during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In this study, however, we were able to detect and characterize HCV-specific CD8+ T cells in all chronically HCV genotype ...

Transport of Water in a Transient, Impact‐Generated Atmosphere on Mercury
Abstract Mercury's polar cold traps host water ice deposits that are likely populated with impact‐delivered water via Mercury's exosphere. However, Mercury's near‐sun location experiences an extremely high photodestruction rate that rapidly destroys water with a timescale of only ∼3.5 hr.

An optimized octagonal‐core terahertz (THz) photonic crystal fiber sensor is presented for accurate identification of different milk samples based on refractive index variation. The structure enables highly confined THz guidance and strong light–analyte interaction, allowing reliable discrimination of camel, cow, buffalo, and sheep milk.

Blending of nanoscale and microscale in uniform large-area sculptured thin-film architectures
The combination of large thickness ($>3$ $\mu$m), large--area uniformity (75 mm diameter), high growth rate (up to 0.4 $\mu$m/min) in assemblies of complex--shaped nanowires on lithographically defined patterns has been achieved for the first time.
