(ion transporter) is a special protein that moves ions across the membrane. Potassium K+and sodium Na+ions are primary contributors to the membrane current, although some other ions, for example, chlorine Cl–and calcium Ca+, play a role. The ion current results in a voltage drop across ...
Which brings me back to the main, ah, thread (sorry). Alfred Wegenerdescribed hair ice on wet dead wood in 1918, having observed it the year before, and suggested thatmycelium, the thread-like part of a fungal colony, could be involved. He thought this because he could actually see myce...
Wow. Snark was alive and well in the pages ofNaturein the middle of the last century. For those of you who, like me, might need to brush up on your Greek mythology, theWikipedia page for Prometheuscan lead you down many wonderful rabbit holes and consume many hours of your time. Go ...
Conductometric transduction templates based on drop-casted thin films of these 2D α-MoO3 flakes were developed for H2 gas sensing. The sensors showed large responses to H2 gas with response and recovery time in the order of seconds. The impressive operation of these devices was attributed to ...
At S = 1.2, condensation exclusively nucleated on the hydrophilic patterns when P = 2 or P = 4, while a tiny minority of droplets nucle- ated on the hydrophobic backdrop for P = 8. At S = 3.5, spatial control was only perfect for P = ...
We used 100 ml of the sus- pension and drop-casted onto polyvinylidene fluoride filters or glass coverslips. We then dried the filters at room temperature for at least 3 h before use while we dried the glass coverslips at 1008C for 5 h. We measured the contact angle of...
LInDA is offering two controllable, binary switches to study AJs: the chemically induced reconstitution of AJ via addition of the dimerizer as a systemic ON switch and the spatio-temporally precise OFF switch with short pulses of 405 nm or near UV light. Thus, it allows the selective modul...
Finally, a 2.25 mm balloon was inflated in the catheter to simulate the stenosis and the BP drop was recorded by the fiber optic sensor. The experiment demonstrates that the reported fiber optic sensor has the capability of measuring blood pressure in vivo and can be used for FFR technique....
As discussed previously, this drop is related to the depletion of the O3 and consequently, OH, concentrations in the presence of chlorine, which results in a decrease in the oxidation rate of Hg(0) by OH and O3. Finally, when only bromine is present (NoCl), the elemental mercury ...
Complaints of insomnia and “body shock” are terrifying to a person wishing to get off of this medication but finding that they subject to highly unpleasant and disruptive consequences of sudden cessation such as: intense insomnia; extraordinarily vivid dreams; extreme confusion during waking hours;...
