The Earth’s climate is changing at a rapid pace. To survive in increasingly fluctuating and unpredictable environments, species can either migrate or evolve through rapid local adaptation, plasticity and/or bet-hedging. For small ectotherm insects, like parasitoids and their hosts, phenotypic plasticity and bet-hedging could be critical strategies…[Read more]

Small-surface optical components with complex shapes and high-precision requirements are increasingly needed in the fields of mobile communications, in vivo diagnosis, and other fields. Some scholars have studied and proposed a two-dimensional vibration actuated polishing (2D-VAP) method based on small polishing tools for the preparation of…[Read more]

We tested the susceptibility of 102 proanthocyanidin (PA)-rich plant extracts to oxidation under alkaline conditions and the possibility to produce chemically modified PAs via oxidation. Both the nonoxidized and the oxidized extracts were analyzed using group-specific ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-tandem mass…[Read more]

001). There was a significant correlation between NT-proBNP and worsening DD (Spearman’s rho r = 0.54 for 2016 and r = 0.24 for 2009 algorithms, both p  less then  0.001). Worse DD was associated with worse clinical presentation and increased risk of events (HR for the cumulative incidence of heart failure and death during follow-up 2.15 and 1.82…[Read more]

The results thus show that despite an initial enhancement, the continuous exposure to Ag caused a severe impairment of the antioxidant defense capacity in C. elegans.Previous research reports that diet is the main source of phthalate exposure to adolescents, and phthalate is associated with adolescent mental and behavioral problems. However, no…[Read more]
