Highlighting the Compound Risk of COVID-19 and Environmental Pollutants Using Geospatial Technology
(Nature, 2021-04-16)
The new COVID-19 coronavirus disease has emerged as a global threat and not just to human health but also the global economy. Due to the pandemic, most countries affected have therefore imposed periods of full or partial ...
Neuropilin-1: A feasible link between liver pathologies and COVID-19
(Baishideng Publishing Group, 2021-06-28)
[EN] The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic
has a tremendous impact on the health of millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately,
those suffering from previous pathological conditions ...
Multivalency Transforms SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Into Ultrapotent Neutralizers
(Nature, 2021-06-16)
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has caused a global pandemic. Antibodies
can be powerful biotherapeutics to fight viral infections. Here, we use the human apoferritin
protomer as a modular subunit to drive ...
Comparison of Sampling Methods for Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Forested Wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Forest wetlands are biodiversity hotspots that perform functions of vital ecological importance, but they are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. Due to their high diversity of habitats and species, the study of ...
Measurement of the energy dependence of the e(+) e(-) -> B(B)over-bar, B (B)over-bar* and B*(B)over-bar* exclusive cross sections
(Springer, 2021-06-23)
We report the first measurement of the exclusive cross sections e(+) e(-) -> B (B) over bar, e(+) e(-) -> B (B) over bar*, and e(+) e(-) -> B* (B) over bar* in the energy range from 10.63 GeV to 11.02 GeV. The B mesons are ...
Measurement of branching fractions and CP asymmetries for D-s(+) -> K+ (eta, pi(0)) and D-s(+) -> pi(+) (eta,pi(0)) decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2021-06-09)
We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for D-s(+) -> K+eta, D-s(+) -> K+ pi(0), and D-s(+) -> pi(+)eta decays, and the branching fraction for D-s(+) -> pi+pi(0). Our results are based on a ...
First determination of the spin and parity of the charmed-strange baryon Xi(c) (2970)(+)
(American Physical Society, 2021-06-16)
We report results from a study of the spin and parity of Xi(c)(2970)(+) using a 980 fb(-1) data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+) e(-) collider. The decay angle distributions in the ...
Molecular Dynamics and Experimental Study on the Adhesion Mechanism of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Fiber in Alkali-Activated Slag/Fly Ash
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
This paper aims to study the adhesion mechanism of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber within alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) matrix using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in combination with systematic experimental ...
Continuous Cooling Curve Diagrams of Isotactic-Polypropylene/Polyethylene Blends: Mutual Nucleating Effects under Fast Cooling Conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2021-05-25)
Crystallization kinetics under processing-relevant cooling conditions of polyethylene/isotactic-polypropylene (PE/PP) blends, with compositions similar to real recycled blends, was investigated through an in situ temperature ...
Tuning the Properties of Active Microtubule Networks by Depletion Forces
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-06)
Suspensions of microtubules and nonadsorbing particles form thick and long bundles due to depletion forces. Such interactions act at the nanometer scale and define the structural and dynamical properties of the resulting ...
