The Impact of Urban Land Use Patterns on the Synergy of Pollution Reduction and Carbon Mitigation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To tackle global climate change and fulfill China's dual carbon objectives, the coordinated abatement of pollution and carbon emissions has emerged as a pivotal focus for sustainable urban development. Land use patterns and pollutant emissions are deeply connected within cities, making them a crucial lever for advancing synergistic pollution ...

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Structure of the Neisseria meningitidis Type IV pilus

Nature Communications, 2016
Type IV pili are present on a wide range of bacterial pathogens and mediate diverse functions. Here the authors report a high resolution crystal structure of the pilin subunit PilE, and a cryoEM reconstruction of the Type IV pilus filament from N ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Corporate Governance Pillars and ESG Disclosure: A Systematic Literature Review Piliers de la gouvernance d'entreprise et divulgation ESG : revue systématique de la littérature

Accounting Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure is attracting the attention of standard setters, regulatory bodies, academics, and practitioners. This interest stems from the evolution of ESG disclosure standards—notably, the new sustainability standards developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board.

Adhesion of Neisseria meningitidis to dermal vessels leads to local vascular damage and purpura in a humanized mouse model.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Septic shock caused by Neisseria meningitidis is typically rapidly evolving and often fatal despite antibiotic therapy. Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the disease is necessary to reduce fatality rates.

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Structural basis for the adsorption of a single-stranded RNA bacteriophage

Nature Communications, 2019
Single-stranded RNA bacteriophages use a single maturation protein (Mat) to attach to a retractile pilus of the bacterial host. Here, the authors report the structures of the MS2 phage bound to the host receptor F-pili and define the orientations of Mat ...
