Shooting Off at the Mouth: Freudian Lapsus in Antonio Tabucchi's <em>Piccoli equivoci senza importanza</em>

Senza titolo

A facile method for the synthesis of water dispersible Er/Yb and Tm/Yb doped upconverting GdF3 nanoparticles is reported. Strong upconversion emissions are observed in the red (for Er/Yb doped) and near-infrared (for Tm/Yb doped) regions upon laser excitation at 980 nm. The PEG coating ensures a good dispersion of the system inwater and reduces the radiationless de-excitation of the excited sta...

What else indeed??if, that is, you think along Freudian lines. If, however, you don't, it is readily apparent that burglars, snakes, wild animal...

Antonio Giraldez: At the tip of the microRNA iceberg

M icroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNA molecules of approximately 22 nucleotides. They regulate protein expression by binding to and suppressing translation of messenger RNAs. Less than 20 years ago, they were unheard of, but the number of identifi ed miRNAs is growing. This burgeoning fi eld captured Anto-nio Giraldez's attention while he was a PhD student studying Drosophila wing morpho-...
