The rapid development of miniaturization and refinement of modern electronic components has led to higher requirements for nanosized powders.The barium strontium titanate (Ba1-xSrxTiO3, BST) nanopowders with fine grains, uniform particle size and high purity have broad application prospects.Herein, BST nanopowders were synthesized via nonhydrolytic
Records of Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Squaliformes: Dalatiidae), from the Azores archipelago, inferred by fresh bite marks in dolphins
The marine waters around the Azores archipelago have been studied for quite a long time.Deeper areas, however, were historically poorly moen finney accessible and only now previously unreported species are recorded regularly.Our monitoring efforts of the Azorean ichthyofauna have recently revealed two cases of indirect evidence of the presence of a
Quantification of Geometrical and Morphological Characteristics of Desiccation Crack and Shrinkage Behavior of Composite Clay Liner
Clay soil and their related irregular behavior such as shrinkage, swelling, desiccation cracks etc.are quad port fittings the main concern for the construction of composite clay liner (CCL) in waste landfill site.In this study, an investigation was conducted on a scaled model of prototype landfill liner to quantify both the geometrical and morpholo
Study of the Retrotransposon-Derived Human PEG10 Protease
Paternally expressed gene 10 (PEG10) is a human retrotransposon-derived imprinted gene.Previous works sombreros de carin leon have demonstrated that a mutation in the coding sequence of this gene is lethal with regard to embryological age due to defects of placental development.In addition, PEG10 is implicated in several malignancies, such as pancr
ParaHox genes in pancreatic cell cultures: effects on the insulin promoter regulation
The gene encoding PDX1 (pancreatic duodenum homeobox 1), the main transcription factor regulating the glucose-dependent transactivation of the insulin promoter in pancreatic β-cells, clusters with two closely related homeobox genes (Gsh1 and Cdx2/3), all of them belonging to the ParaHox gene family.The ParaHox gene evolutionary history in the
