An institutional sociology perspective of the implementation of activity based costing by Spanish health care institutions [PDF]

According to institutional sociology, hospitals will respond to external environmental pressures and adopt Activity-Based-Costing (ABC). This theory overemphasizes conformity and fails to consider the advantages of organizational non-conformance.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Chain formation mediated by Escherichia coli immunoglobulin-binding proteins EibD and EibG depends on expression levels and localization of proteins

Scientific Reports
Escherichia coli expresses immunoglobulin-binding proteins (Eib), a subgroup of trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAA). Subtypes of Eib proteins mediate unique chain-like adherence patterns and autoaggregation.

Inert Catalytic Sites Unlocked by Micropollutants for Rapid Water Decontamination with Near‐Complete Chemical Utilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Micropollutants can act as molecular triggers that activate a newly designed and chemically inert Fenton‐like PKU‐24 catalyst for on‐demand singlet oxygen generation from peroxymonosulfate (PMS), enabling nearly complete peroxide utilization and selective micropollutant removal from complex real‐world wastewater.

Transcriptional Landscape of a blaKPC-2 Plasmid and Response to Imipenem Exposure in Escherichia coli TOP10

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The diffusion of KPC-2 carbapenemase is closely related to the spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae of the clonal-group 258 and linked to IncFIIK plasmids. Little is known about the biology of multi-drug resistant plasmids and the reasons of their successful ...

Phylogenetic relationships in two African Cedreloideae genera (Meliaceae) reveal multiple rain/dry forest transitions [PDF]

, 2018
Establishing phylogenetic relationships allows investigating how species diversity has evolved in various ecosystems. The genera Entandrophragma and Khaya contain tree species distributed in different African biomes (lowland rain forest, lowland dry ...

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Antibiotics and phages drive region-specific diversity of OmpK36 in Klebsiella pneumoniae

mBio
The Enterobacterales outer membrane is impermeable to many antibiotics, but they can enter the cell via channel proteins, called porins. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the porin OmpK36 is a major determinant of antibiotic resistance.
