Grind and cure: Using the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen, a novel concept is demonstrated to dramatically enhance the rate of the recently discovered process of deracemization using abrasive grinding. The process relies on a gradual feed of the racemic tar...

Recently opportunities of creation test facility with sub-crit. reactors controlled by accelerators of particles are actively discussed. At an initial stage of these researches it is the most expedient to use electron accelerators as cost of such facility will be much l...

In this paper, we address the issue of whether it is economically advantageous to concentrate emergency rooms (ERs) in large hospitals. Besides identifying economies of scale of ERs, we also focus on chain economies. The latter term refers to the effects on a hospital's...

<jats:p>Evolutionary conflict between the sexes can induce arms races in which males evolve traits that are detrimental to the fitness of their female partners, and vice versa. This interlocus sexual conflict (IRSC) has been proposed as a cause of perpetual intersexual ...

A previous paper on the genus Anepsion (Chrysanthus, 1961) is supplemented with descriptions and/or figures of the following species: A. rhomboïdes (L. Koch) $, A. d. depressum (Thorell) $, A. fuscolimbatum (Simon) 9, A. peltoides (Thorell) $, A. hammeni nov. spec. $, A...

MEMS and AFM-based surface modification techniques and applications are presented in the dissertation. The starting point of the work was the investigation of tribology at microscale. Motivation of the work and general approach of the subject are presented in the introd...

A recent proposal for the resonant excitation of longitudinal plasma oscillations by transverse electromagnetic waves provides an application of non-secular perturbation techniques on the cold plasma equations. The amplitudes and frequencies of the oscillations so excit...

DNA repair mechanisms are fundamental for B cell development, which relies on the somatic diversification of the immunoglobulin genes by V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation, and class switch recombination. Their failure is postulated to promote genomic instabilit...

Summary The d‐ and l‐forms of lactate are important fermentation metabolites produced by intestinal bacteria but are found to negatively affect mucosal barrier function and human health. Both enantiomers of lactate can be converted with acetate into the presumed benefic...

Open Science is creating new forms of scientific interaction that were impossible or undreamed of in an earlier age. This has a strong impact on core academic processes like research, education and innovation. It is, for instance, easier to replicate an experiment if th...
