Chronic Low‐Dose Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine Exposure in Rats: Multiorgan Mechanisms and Biomarker Identification

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), a highly toxic rocket propellant with known multiorgan effects, requires urgent characterization of its chronic low‐dose toxicity. Using an integrated approach including exploratory transcriptomics (n = 3/group) and metabolomic (n = 4/group) approaches in male Sprague–Dawley rats exposed to high‐dose ...

Assessing the Composition of 19th Century Lime Mortars from a Mission Chapel in the Former Hacienda de San Isidro de Mariquina Philippines

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2018
This paper presents the results of a chemical study on lime mortars manufactured during the Spanish Colonial Period in the Philippines. Lime mortar samples, MRK-01 and MRK-02, were obtained from the facade of a historical mission chapel in Marikina City.

The building stones and slates of Killin : an investigation of stone for the built heritage [PDF]

, 2010
The village of Killin lies in an area of dramatic landscape and mountain scenery. The use of local stone in the buildings gives a direct connection to this landscape and reflects the local geology, comprising mostly metamorphic rocks of Precambrian age

Influence of genetic diversity, drought stress and rhizobial symbiosis on the nutritional quality of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) grain

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Legumes are the primary source of plant protein in both human and livestock diets and, therefore, play an essential role in nutrition. Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a grain legume widely used in animal feed. Its nutritional properties, particularly its high protein content, make it an adequate component to enrich feedstuffs ...

Plant species and field site shape root endosphere microbiomes of wild inoculum plants used in traditional cereal‐based fermentation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fermented foods worldwide depend on naturally occurring microbes, yet the environmental sources shaping these microbes and their effects on food quality remain poorly understood. We investigated bacteria living inside the roots of wild plants used to produce Munkoyo, a widely consumed nonalcoholic fermented cereal beverage in Zambia, to ...

Comparative Laboratory Evaluation of Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortars for Conservation

, 2020
Over the past two decades, natural hydraulic lime (NHL) has become a popular binder in restoration mortars used for the conservation of historic masonry buildings in North America. The most obvious advantage of the NHL mortars is a more rapid setting as compared with non-hydraulic hydrated lime (and lime putty) mortars.

RNA degradomics and proteomics reveal the mechanism of dsProsβ1‐mediated proteasome targeting in Psylliodes chrysocephala

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA degradomics revealed dsProsβ1‐derived siRNA‐mediated mRNA cleavage events, mainly at uracil‐guanine and adenine‐adenine pairs. Proteasome inhibition via dsProsβ1 increased mitochondrial and cytoskeletal proteins while reducing translation‐related and mRNA‐binding proteins.
