Abstract Background: The immune system strongly influences outcome in patients with ovarian cancer. In particular, the absolute lymphocyte count in peripheral blood (ALC) and the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes ...

Little is known about fixed nitrogen (N) transformation and elimination at diffuse hydrothermal vents where anoxic fluids are mixed with oxygenated crustal seawater prior to discharge. Oceanic N sinks that remove bio-available ...

Polymer coatings offer a means to modulate the adsorption of molecules onto solid surfaces by offering a surface functionality, charge, roughness, and hydrophobicity that is different from the underlying substrate. One ...

We present new U-Pb zircon ages for heterogeneous mafic-felsic rocks of the West Coast complex, a midcrustal plutonic component of exposed Jurassic arc-crustal section on Vancouver Island. We examine the timing of juvenile ...

The reactivity of the metalloligand Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4 with the boron-functionalized alkylating agents BrCH2(C6H4)B(OR)2 (R = H or CMe2) was investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in real time ...

On geological timescales there is a temperature dependent feedback that means that increased degassing of CO2 into the atmosphere leads to increased CO2 drawdown into rocks stabilizing Earth's climate. It is widely considered ...

A mixed micelle approach is used to produce amphiphilic brush nanoparticles (ABNPs) with cadmium sulfide quantum dot (QD) cores and surface layers of densely grafted (σ = ~1 chain/nm2) and asymmetric (fPS = 0.9) mixed ...

We present the updated measurement of the muon neutrino interaction rates and spectrum at the T2K near detector complex, ND280, located at the JPARC accelerator facility in Tokai, Japan, 280 meters downstream from the ...

Background: The pufferfish Fugu rubripes (Fugu) with its compact genome is increasingly recognized as an important vertebrate model for comparative genomic studies. In particular, large regions of conserved synteny between ...
