Combined computational and experimental investigation of high temperature thermodynamics and structure of cubic ZrO2 and HfO2

Scientific Reports, 2018
Structure and thermodynamics of pure cubic ZrO2 and HfO2 were studied computationally and experimentally from their tetragonal to cubic transition temperatures (2311 and 2530 °C) to their melting points (2710 and 2800 °C).

A phyletically rare gene promotes the niche-specific fitness of an E. coli pathogen during bacteremia. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
In bacteria, laterally acquired genes are often concentrated within chromosomal regions known as genomic islands. Using a recently developed zebrafish infection model, we set out to identify unique factors encoded within genomic islands that contribute ...

Impact of non-exercise activity thermogenesis on physical activity in patients with COPD

Science Progress, 2022
Physical inactivity is associated with comorbidities and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Although non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is important for evaluating the physical activity level (PAL) of patients ...
