Flawed sting operation singles out open access journals [PDF]

, 2013
In a sting operation, John Bohannon, a correspondent of Science, claims to have exposed dodgy open access journals. His argument seems to be that, because of their business model, some journals are biased towards accepting scientific articles, regardless

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

Stings of some species of Lordomyrma and Mayriella (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) [PDF]

, 2011
The sting apparatus and pygidium are described for eight of 20 Lordomyrma species and one of five Mayriella species. The apparatus of L. epinotaiis is distinctly different from that of other Lordomyrma species.

Surface Tension Measurement of Ti‐6Al‐4V by Falling Droplet Method in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, the temperature‐dependent surface tension of free falling, oscillating Ti‐6Al‐4V droplets is investigated in both argon and monosilane doped, oxygen‐free atmosphere. Droplet temperature and oscillation are captured with one single high‐speed camera, and the surface tension is calculated with Rayleigh's formula.

Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING)-Type I Interferon Signaling: Bridging Immunity and Pain

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience
Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines with diverse functions, possessing antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. IFN-α and IFN-β, key members of the type I interferon (IFN-I) family, are widely used in the treatment of diseases such as ...

CARMA Survey Toward Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies (STING) II: Molecular Gas Star Formation Law and Depletion Time Across the Blue Sequence

, 2011
We present an analysis of the relationship between molecular gas and current star formation rate surface density at sub-kpc and kpc scales in a sample of 14 nearby star-forming galaxies.

Pretender punishment induced by chemical signalling in a queenless ant [PDF]

, 2002
Animal societies are stages for both conflict and cooperation. Reproduction is often monopolized by one or a few individuals who behave aggressively to prevent subordinates from reproducing (for example, naked mole-rats, wasps and ants).

Production of MgO/TiC Composites From MgO‐C Recyclates Using Spark Plasma Sintering

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Using the spark plasma sintering technique, MgO/TiC composites are manufactured from recycled MgO‐C refractories stemming from the steel production that were mixed with titanium powder. This article shows, how the size of the Ti grains and their distribution in the powder mixture affect the local carbon concentration in TiC.

Role and Mechanism of cGAS-STING Pathway in Cardiovascular System

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
The cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (GMP-AMP) synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is a part of the innate immune system that plays a role in the cardiovascular system.

Mitochondrial permeabilization engages NF-κB-dependent anti-tumour activity under caspase deficiency [PDF]

, 2017
Apoptosis represents a key anti-cancer therapeutic effector mechanism. During apoptosis, mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) typically kills cells even in the absence of caspase activity.
