Crystal shape is a critical determinant of the physical and chemical properties of crystalline materials; hence, it is the challenge of controlling the crystal morphology in a wide range of scientific and technological applications. The morphology is related to the geom...

is Figure S1 showing Bland–Altman plots for vMD measures, by mammography system and reader for: (A) percent mammographic density, (B) dense area and (C) breast area. Y axes to the same scale for comparisons. (DOCX 138 kb)

Heavy metals pollution has become a more serious environmental problem in the last several decades as a result releasing toxic materials into the environment. Various techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, advanced oxidation and electrochemical processes wer...

Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), the active principle of croton oil, is a potent platelet aggregating agent. Previous cytochemical and electron microscopic studies demonstrated that PMA caused selective labilization of platelet storage granules resulting in their conver...

Bacterial communities use “quorum sensing” (QS) to coordinate their population behavior through the action of extracellular signal molecules, such as the N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs). The versatile and ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a...

Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a Tec family kinase with a well-defined role in the B cell receptor (BCR) pathway. It has become an attractive kinase target for selective B cell inhibition and for the treatment of B cell related diseases. We report a series of compoun...

Life is constructed from a limited toolkit: the Periodic Table. The reduction of oxygen provides the largest free energy release per electron transfer, except for the reduction of fluorine and chlo...

With rapid global urbanization, the importance of understanding relationships between the changing urban environment and human health and wellbeing is being increasingly recognized. However, the science underlying the complexity of linkages is poorly developed. In this ...

The paper gives a soundness and completeness proof for the implicative fragment of intuitionistic calculus with respect to the semantics of computability logic, which understands intuitionistic implication as interactive algorithmic reduction. This concept -- more preci...

International audience; This work studies the usefulness of syntactic information in the context of automatic dialogue act recognition in Czech. Several pieces of evidence are presented in this work that support our claim that syntax might bring valuable information for...
