Rapid Growth of Dimension Stone Imports: Implications for the Urban Geocultural Heritage of the City of Poznań (Poland)

Geosciences
The global production of dimension stones, that is, natural stones that can be processed into blocks and used as building and decorative materials, has grown steadily since the second half of the twentieth century.

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Fractal Analysis Of Colors And Shapes For Natural And Urbanscapes URBANSCAPES [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015
Fractal analysis has been applied in many fields since it was proposed by Mandelbrot in 1967. Fractal dimension is a basic parameter of fractal analysis.

Dynamics of a hyperbolic system that applies at the onset of the oscillatory instability [PDF]

, 1998
A real hyperbolic system is considered that applies near the onset of the oscillatory instability in large spatial domains. The validity of that system requires that some intermediate scales (large compared with the basic wavelength of the unstable modes

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Pioglitazone plus (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate: a novel approach to enhance osteogenic performance in aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

El tiempo fragmentado: recorrido entrecruzado entre narración y drama [PDF]

, 2016
A la hora de concretar las características de un teatro que mezcle narración y drama, resulta evidente que no se puede establecer un pacto perceptivo rígido: desde el primer momento, la obra de teatro debe introducir a los espectadores en un campo ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Natural genetic variation quantitatively regulates heart rate and dimension

Nature Communications
The polygenic contribution to heart development and function along the health-disease continuum remains unresolved. To gain insight into the genetic basis of quantitative cardiac phenotypes, we utilize highly inbred Japanese rice fish models, Oryzias ...
